Different gardens within one city
Ilwol Arboretum sits on Irwol-ro in Jangan-gu, Suwon. An outdoor stroll and the exhibition greenhouse offer contrasting plant environments. A photograph taken inside in October 2023 shows the space, not what is blooming now.
Admission ends before closing
Published visitor hours are 09:30–17:30, but the ticket counter closes at 17:00. Arriving earlier leaves time to explore. The arboretum is normally closed on Mondays; when a public holiday or holiday period overlaps, the closure may move to the following day. Check current special notices.
Fees are separate from special activities
Published individual admission is KRW 4,000 for adults aged 19+, KRW 2,500 for teenagers 13–18 and KRW 1,500 for children 7–12. Resident, group and family reductions may require evidence. Normal admission does not itself confirm a place in a guided, educational or evening event. Check dates on past programme listings rather than assuming an old 'registration open' badge remains valid.
