Seoul's official Public Service Reservation site offers a free tour of the Gangbuk Smart Farm Center at 973 Hancheon-ro, Gangbuk-gu (Beon-dong). The posted tour times are 11:00–12:00 and 15:00–16:00. Mondays are closed, while Tuesdays and Wednesdays are excluded because of crop harvesting and transplanting operations. The guided route includes a first-floor aquaponics area, the third-floor specialist growing room, a second-floor strawberry room and a short introduction in the education room. Each session is capped at 15 people. Reservations can be made through the official Seoul system or by telephone, but sessions with fewer than ten registrants do not proceed. A successful individual reservation is not a guarantee that a tour will actually run. Participants arriving more than ten minutes after the start cannot join. Directions: from Suyu Station Exit 1, turn toward Beon-dong at the Gangbuk District Office intersection and walk about 500 meters; the Susong Elementary School bus stop is approximately 85 meters away. Drivers are directed to the public parking lot opposite the school. For group arrangements, call 070-4118-7020.
