Where heritage meets hands-on science
Inside Daegaya Living Village in Goryeong, North Gyeongsang Province, families can visit a children's science experience center. Amid a setting associated with local heritage, children can also explore everyday science through interactive displays. You do not have to choose between a cultural outing and a science activity.
Ships, sound and electricity
The center's official exhibition list includes a trading-ship simulator, sound waves, a sea-battle experience, electricity activities and a science lab. Before arriving, ask your children which experiments they most want to try. The ship-themed activities may inspire questions about historical maritime exchange, but the interactive models should not be described as authenticated Daegaya artifacts.
Three 90-minute sessions
Official guidance lists sessions at 10:00–11:30, 13:00–14:30 and 15:00–16:30, with maintenance breaks between sessions. The center closes on Mondays, New Year's Day, and the days of Seollal and Chuseok; a public-holiday Monday is followed by a Tuesday closure. Admission is KRW 1,000 for children from 36 months through elementary school and KRW 2,000 for teenagers and adults. Goryeong residents are admitted free with supporting identification.
