The Osan iDream Center was constructed with a total floor area of 2,762㎡, consisting of one basement floor and four above-ground floors. This facility was built after Osan City applied for Gyeonggi Province's 'New Gyeonggi Policy' contest, won the grand prize, and received special adjustment grant funds of 5.35 billion KRW. The total project cost amounted to 11.2 billion KRW.

The city explained that each floor of the center has a separate individual theme, with interior design and program rooms arranged accordingly.

The first floor, themed 'Sea,' is decorated with ▲ ‘Deserted Island Shelter’ ▲ ‘Trick Art Photo Zone’ ▲ ‘Picture Playground’ (Rolling Art) using water ▲ ‘Net Playground’ (Rolling Underwater Exploration).

The second floor, themed 'Nature,' includes ▲ ‘Cooking Class’ (Rolling Restaurant) where children can experience cooking with healthy natural ingredients ▲ ‘Forest Hut’ (Doran Doran Rolling Bundle) where children can enjoy kitchen role play ▲ ‘Fruit Farm’ (Rolling Farm), a long farm along the corridor where children can pick and stick fruits ▲ ‘Thread Playground’ using colored threads.

The third floor, themed 'Sky Blue,' features playground equipment and tools such as ▲ ‘Light Playground’ (Rolling Light Playground & Rolling Light Artist) using light, sand, and shapes ▲ ‘Physical Playroom’ (Rolling Shake) with large block play and physical activities. There is also the ‘iDream Theater’ where children and adults can enjoy performances together.

The fourth floor, themed 'Above the Clouds,' provides a ‘Photo Zone’ and ‘Rest Area’ designed to inspire children to imagine traveling through the sky, climbing above the clouds, and becoming astronauts.

The city plans to monitor each program and operational process through a pilot operation until February next year and then improve the programs and facilities accordingly.

About 200 people, including Lee Kwon-jae, Mayor of Osan, and Heo Nam-yoon, President of Osan University, attended the opening ceremony held that day. Mayor Lee emphasized, "Children develop creativity and imagination through play, becoming future talents of society," adding, "It is our responsibility as adults to create a good play environment." He also stated, "Starting with the opening of the center, we will accelerate efforts to create an educational environment in Osan that satisfies both children and parents."
