Seoul Botanic Park

The garden opened in May 2018 and is one of the largest indoor botanical gardens in the world, with three main greenhouse complexes covering a total of 28,000 square meters. The greenhouses are divided into different climate zones, such as tropical, subtropical, and desert, allowing visitors to experience a diverse range of plant life in a single location.

In addition to the greenhouses, the Seoul Botanic Garden also features outdoor gardens, including a Korean traditional garden, a forest garden, and a wetland garden. There are also various facilities and amenities on site, such as a restaurant, a souvenir shop, and an exhibition hall.

4. Tips

The botanical garden makes you feel better just by walking around, but taking an commentary tour is more helpful. Commentary tours are not held every day, and reservations are required, so be sure to check the date on the website. Unfortunately, it is not possible on the English homepage, but only on the Korean page, so if possible, ask for help from Koreans around you.
