Dates, hours and venue
The festival runs from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on both days at Yongin Mireu Stadium in Cheoin-gu. International visitors should save the venue pin in their preferred map app before leaving and allow extra time for the final part of the journey. Drivers should confirm the event-specific parking plan, while public transport users should save a return route for after the 5:00 p.m. closing time.
What to prioritize at the festival
The program is organized around four broad ideas: exploring future technology, making things for future living, imagining Yongin as a future city and encouraging the next generation of science enthusiasts. Trying every booth may be unrealistic, so start with the experiences that matter most to your group and adjust your route according to queues and session availability.
Choose activities by interest
- For robotics and drones, look for robot-arm demonstrations, humanoid robots and drone-control activities.
- For immersive experiences, check the session times for future-mobility rides and VR simulators.
- For hands-on making, consider carbon-neutral energy experiments and projects using Arduino boards or 3D pens.
- For a wider view of local science education, visit technology exhibits from participating organizations and booths run by school science clubs.
- Families with younger children can also look for the drone soccer class, Joayong mascot science kits and the Bomi AI care robot experience.
A practical pre-trip checklist
What to pack and confirm
- Bring a charged phone and portable battery for schedules, maps, translation tools and the journey home.
- Wear comfortable shoes and carry a light outer layer for a day that may involve plenty of walking and waiting.
- Prepare a convenient payment method in case a workshop requires a materials fee.
- Select two or three priority activities and save the official timetable once it becomes available.
- When traveling with children, carry the guardian's contact details and agree on an easy-to-find meeting point.
- On the morning of your visit, check the weather along with current food, bag, parking and shuttle guidance.
Getting there and leaving smoothly
Transport arrangements for a large stadium event can differ from ordinary days. Drivers should not assume that every usual entrance or parking area will operate normally. Public transport users should consider the number of transfers, the final walk to the stadium and the return journey after the event closes.
Plan your route in this order
- Check the official notice for parking entrances, overflow parking and any shuttle service.
- Compare realistic journey times rather than relying only on straight-line distance.
- Arrive early enough to study the site map and locate your first activity.
- Choose a clear meeting point near the entrance or another visible facility.
- Save the return route before the festival ends, especially if your journey involves several transfers.
Visiting with children
Build the day around each child's strongest interests and include breaks between busy activity areas. Before joining a driving, flying or ride-based experience, check whether age or other safety restrictions apply and follow staff instructions. In crowded spaces, make sure children can quickly find a guardian's contact details.
Planning the evening or an extra day in Yongin
Because the festival closes at 5:00 p.m., day-trippers may prefer a simple dinner or short walk before heading home. With an overnight stay, choose one attraction for the following day instead of squeezing several stops into the evening. The Korean Folk Village is one possible separate-day outing in Yongin; confirm its current hours, closing days, admission arrangements and travel time before adding it to your plans.
Should you stay overnight?
A hotel can make sense if you plan to attend both days, are arriving from farther away or want to reduce a long return journey with children. If your preferred activities all fall on one day and the trip home is straightforward, a day visit may be enough. Waiting for the detailed program timetable can make this decision easier.
When comparing Yongin or Cheoin-gu hotels on Agoda, look beyond the map radius. Check estimated travel time to the stadium, the available transport route, parking terms, check-in time, cancellation conditions and the direction of your next day's journey. A slightly farther property may be more practical if it offers a simpler route at the times you expect to travel.
Final planning notes
For a manageable festival day, remember the October 3โ4 dates, the 10:00 a.m.โ5:00 p.m. hours and your two or three priority activities. Check the official channel one last time for registration and transport updates, then choose accommodation according to real journey time rather than distance alone.
