Daejeon Hanbat Arboretum Park is a must-visit destination for nature lovers in South Korea.

This sprawling public park is home to diverse plant species, making it an excellent place for visitors to explore and learn about the natural world.

The park is also well-known for its green and well-being facilities, including walking paths, picnic areas, and playgrounds, making it an ideal location for families to spend a day outdoors.

Located in the heart of the Daejeon Government Complex and Expo Science Park, this park is a tranquil oasis amid a bustling city.

If you're looking to relax, exercise, or learn something new, Daejeon Hanbat Arboretum Park has something for everyone.

After having a great time at KIGAM Geological Museum, I was curious and excited to visit Daejeon Arts Center. And I just realized that Daejeon Arboretum Park is at the heart of all high places in the city.

This Arboretum park is being surrounded by things about arts and science. Such facilities include Daejeon Arts Center, Pyeongsong Youth Cultural Center, Daejeon City Art Museum, Lee Eungno Museum, and Daejeon Expo Park.

The arboretum park is a beautiful and unique space that is both educational and relaxing. It is considered the most significant 'man-made' arboretum in the area, and it is used as a facility for the youth and a green relaxation space for locals and visitors alike.

The park has two main areas: Seawan (West Garden) and Dongwan (East Garden). Seawan is north of the City Art Museum, while Dongwan is north of Pyeongsong Education Hall.

In addition to these two central gardens, there are 19 themed gardens within the nursery, including Nammun Square, flower gardens, herbal gardens, rock gardens, fruit tree gardens, and more.

The park is open to the public from 6 AM to 9 PM during the summer months (from April to September).

However, during the colder months (from October to March), the park's opening hours are from 8 AM to 7 PM.

It's important to note that the Dongwon (East Garden) and Tropical Garden are closed on Mondays, while Seowon (West Garden) is closed on Tuesdays. However, both gardens are public if Monday or Tuesday is a holiday.

Overall, the arboretum park is a must-visit destination for anyone seeking a tranquil and educational outdoor space.
