Gwangju National Science Museum to Operate Water Science Experience Center from the 21st

The National Gwangju Science Museum will operate the 'Water Science Experience Center' from the 21st of this month until the 28th of next month.

The Water Science Experience Center has expanded the number of swimming pools to three compared to last year, and offers various activities such as water play air bounces and water soccer fields.

The washing and changing rooms have been expanded, the swimming pool shade canopies have been enlarged, and additional air coolers and fans have been installed to provide a more comfortable environment to cool off during the hot weather.

In accordance with water quality management standards, water quality is checked daily with frequent water replacement, and periodic inspections are conducted by specialized water quality measurement institutions to ensure visitors can enjoy water play with peace of mind.

In particular, for safe facility operation, individual parasols are provided, and a total of 11 staff members, including professionals with lifeguard and nursing qualifications, are deployed. Visitors are also given safety fans displaying water play precautions, heatwave action guidelines, and daily quarantine rules.

Deputy Director Jeon Tae-ho said, “Many citizens visit to enjoy cool water play along with various exhibitions and events during the summer season,” and added, “We hope many people visit the Water Science Experience Center to safely and enjoyably experience exciting water play with clean water and diverse facilities.”

The Water Science Experience Center operates three sessions daily (except Mondays) from 10:00 AM to 5:30 PM (each session lasts 2 hours, with 300 people per session), and the usage fee is 6,000 KRW.

Reservations can be made online in advance for up to 200 people per session until one day before the visit.

For those who could not make an online reservation, on-site ticketing is available on the day of the visit for 100 people per session and for any remaining online reservation spots. For visitor safety, children under elementary school age must be accompanied by a guardian to use the facility.
