The eligible age range has also been expanded from 2 to 7 years old to 2 to 9 years old. Visitors who post photos of their playground visit or photos wearing matching outfits with family or friends on social networking services (SNS) and tag Saegil Science Playground will receive a small gift.

Visitors who collect four stamps given when visiting the playground or participating in programs will receive a free admission ticket valid even after the event period. Throughout March, every Saturday from 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM, a virtual reality (VR) exercise program (soccer, baseball, swimming, running) will be offered for family users.

Since last year, specialized programs for users have also been operated. In March, programs such as ▲Mysterious Cooking Science Lab (making mini kimbap and gangjeong) ▲Art Play with Hidden Science (making eco-friendly bags) ▲Modu Da Science Nuri (plant cultivation) ▲Making Natural Bath Bombs will be available. Those interested in participating can check details and apply on the ‘Geumcheon-gu Childcare Support Center’ website under ‘Education and Events.’
