The nature learning center, rare-plant gallery and orchid room open 09:00–18:00 from March to November and 09:00–17:00 December to February, closing on Lunar New Year and Chuseok days; management may shut exhibits temporarily. Paid parking uses similar seasonal operating windows, with the first 10 minutes free. Listed passenger-car parking for the first two hours is KRW 500 for compact and KRW 1,000 for small/medium-large, with additional half-hour charges. Discount claimants must show documentation. The operator prohibits pets, cooking, and eating lunchboxes outside designated rest areas, along with smoking and alcohol.
