Very impressive, interesting and huge. Forget the show, it's not worth it (my opinion). If xou are there during Halloween do the haubted houses, but you need to buy tickets very earlsäy as it will sell out.
Discounted admission of 19,000 Won on Monday. Very worth it. We enjoyed the various performances, village and amusement rides. It is easy to take an express bus to go on your own. We spent 5 hours there including eating delicious Sellongtang (beef) and Ginseng chicken soup.
I loved the experience of visiting this place! I was able to learn about history and culture through the beautifully recreated settings. The traditional dance and music performances were amazing, and I truly felt like I had traveled back to the Joseon Dynasty era.
Its like walking into the past. This was such a treat. The exhibits, the food, the fun. I was absolutely amazed, and overwhelmed by it all. It really took me back in time. I.love it. I will definitely come back. Great for kids of all ages. Plenty of food and restrooms and water. So many options to engage with the past.
The Korean Folk Village is a must-visit cultural attraction that offers an immersive journey into Korea’s past, particularly the Joseon dynasty era. Located in a beautiful natural setting surrounded by trees and gentle hills, the village is spacious, atmospheric, and incredibly well maintained—making you feel as though you’ve truly stepped back in time. We were amazed by the variety and authenticity of the traditional homes, noble palaces, and village structures, each meticulously preserved or reconstructed. From the homes of aristocrats to the humble dwellings of commoners and craftsmen, every area paints a vivid picture of how people from different walks of life used to live, work, and interact. You can explore old markets, kitchens, blacksmith shops, pottery workshops, and more. One of the highlights was watching live performances featuring people dressed in traditional hanbok, performing folk dances, music, and acrobatic displays. These cultural performances brought the entire place to life and added an authentic festive vibe. You can also rent traditional costumes and walk around the village for your own immersive experience. We highly recommend visiting on a weekday, when the village is less crowded and easier to explore at a leisurely pace. An unforgettable cultural experience for both locals and tourists alike.
