A day devoted to the world of insects
In Hyoja-myeon, Yecheon, the Insect Research Center and Ecology Park combines insect exhibitions with ecology and research. The county introduces an insect ecology exhibition hall, a multi-experience center, gardens, greenhouses and a butterfly observation area. Families can start by choosing which exhibits interest them most.
The winter day ends at 5 p.m.
Official hours are 09:00–18:00 from April through October and 09:00–17:00 from November through March. The park closes on Mondays (or the following day when Monday is a public holiday), January 1 and the days of Lunar New Year and Chuseok. Arriving late can leave little room for exhibits and any separately scheduled activities.
Admission is not a monorail ticket
The county's posted standard admission is KRW 5,000 for adults and KRW 4,000 for children and teenagers. Winter is listed among discount-eligible categories, with discounted tickets posted at KRW 4,000 and KRW 3,000 respectively; reconfirm eligibility and current prices. Monorail rides have separate standard tickets of KRW 5,000 for adults and KRW 4,000 for children/teens. Groups are instructed to reserve monorail visits in advance. Published ticket prices do not confirm that the monorail is operating or that seats remain on your date.
Accessibility varies across the grounds
The official map identifies certain walkways as wheelchair- and stroller-friendly, and says exhibition buildings have ramps and elevators. This is not a promise that every outdoor path is step-free. Weather, seasonal conditions and facility maintenance may affect access.
Use the Korean map name 예천곤충연구소·곤충생태원 and address 1045 Eunpung-ro, Hyoja-myeon, Yecheon-gun. Check official operating notices and individual activity information before travel.
