Sacheon Aerospace Science Museum and KAI Museum Implement Integrated Discount Ticketing

Providing Convenience with One-Time Ticketing and Discount Benefits

The Sacheon Aerospace Science Museum in Sacheon City, Gyeongnam, which had simply operated integrated ticketing, and the Aerospace Museum of Korea Aerospace Industries are becoming perfect partners by offering discount services as well.

According to Sacheon City on the 1st, Sacheon City and Korea Aerospace Industries decided to provide discount benefits for integrated ticketing of the Sacheon Aerospace Science Museum and the Aerospace Museum starting from the 1st. The admission fee for the integrated ticket is discounted by up to 1,000 KRW for adults.

The Sacheon Aerospace Science Museum of Sacheon City and the Aerospace Museum of Korea Aerospace Industries have been operating the ‘One Ticket Free Pass’ for integrated ticketing since November 1st last year. With the operation of this ‘One Ticket Free Pass,’ visitors entering the Sacheon Aerospace Science Museum and the Aerospace Museum can visit both facilities with a single ticket.

The entrance door that was blocking the way between the Sacheon Aerospace Science Museum and the KAI Aerospace Museum is now open at all times, greatly improving the efficiency of visitor movement. However, although the integrated ticketing for linked visits between the two facilities was implemented decisively through the active will and innovative thinking of the two institutions, it was regrettable that no discount service was provided with the integrated ticketing.

With the operation of the integrated ticket discount this time, it is expected that the convenience of using the integrated ticket will be maximized. Through the integrated ticket issuance, visitors can now experience both the five-sense satisfaction content at the science museum and the exhibition of real aircraft at the museum, and with the discount benefits provided, the efficiency of linked visits is enhanced.

The Sacheon Aerospace Science Museum, operated by the city, is a representative local tourist attraction visited by about 60,000 tourists annually since its first opening in March 2013. From May 2023, with a project cost of 4.4 billion KRW, content improvement construction was promoted as part of the 2020 Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism Sacheon City plan contest-type regional tourism development project.

With the reopening on November 1, 2023, and the completion of this project, a new beginning for the science museum, a local tourism attraction based on the aerospace industry, has started. The first floor operates under the theme of the Aviation Hall, including a history hall and an experience hall, while the second floor operates under the theme of the Space Hall, featuring a 4D theater, diorama zone, three types of VR, and an airplane escape slide experience hall.

The Aerospace Museum was established on August 28, 2002, by Korea Aerospace Industries, which leads South Korea’s aerospace industry, and is the country’s first aerospace museum. It contributes to the development of various aerospace cultures by fostering a correct national and historical perspective and presenting 21st-century advanced aerospace science technology and vision.

Meanwhile, Sacheon City and KAI are not only laying the foundation for the integrated operation of the Sacheon Aerospace Science Museum and the Aerospace Museum but also expecting to revitalize local cultural tourism projects.

A city official said, “With this linked visit discount operation, we hope that the science museum and museum representing our city will be further activated and fulfill their role as aerospace tourist destinations,” adding, “We will work hard to ensure that it is remembered as a good experience space and exhibition hall for the future dream trees of Sacheon City and the Republic of Korea.”
