메이커 플레이

This participatory festival at the National Science Museum offers visitors the chance to learn scientific principles through hands-on creation and experimentation. Over 50 interactive booths cover creative crafts, robotics, coding, and AI. Participants can make their own puppets for puppet shows, engage in Makérelle Racing by building miniature cars and sailboats, and enjoy family activities including go-kart and swing-car experiences. The festival features rest areas, food trucks, and a photo zone for families to share in the joy of science and creativity.

🎟️ How to book — Official event site

1
Most regional festivals are free entry
Korean municipalities fund a huge number of free festivals (flowers, food, light shows) — free entry is the norm, not the exception, sometimes with paid stalls or activities on site.
2
Check the event's official site
The link sits on the event's VisitKorea page — it's the most reliable source for the program, hours, and any last-minute changes.
3
Book via a Korean platform if a reservation is required
When a festival has paid premium activities or an attached concert, booking usually goes through NOL or YES24 — see the matching guide on this page.
4
Call 1330 when in doubt
Korea's tourism hotline answers in English, Chinese and Japanese, 24/7 — handy for confirming a time or address when the official site is Korean-only.

💡 Good to know

When a price shows as "see details", the organiser simply hasn't published one in advance: in almost all of those cases entry is free and only some on-site activities are paid. Bring a little cash — many stalls don't take cards.
