Suncheonman National Garden Rapidly Gaining Popularity as a Family Summer Vacation Spot

Focus on the Charm of 'Garden Vacation' with Flowers, Trees, Wind, and Waterways That Relieve Fatigue

Suncheonman Bay National Garden is gaining attention as a summer vacation destination where three generations of families can all enjoy together during the summer holiday season.

Since its reopening in April after renovations following the 2023 Expo, the National Garden has welcomed 1.9 million visitors. Especially from July, when the intense heat begins, there has been a noticeable increase in family visitors.

This is because the somewhat spacious and quiet garden has been enhanced with AI and animation, allowing children to enjoy dreams and adventures while adults can fully experience healing and relaxation, making it an attractive family vacation spot.

The garden’s summer healing spots include the stream path plaza where visitors can dip their feet and splash in the water under cool tree shade, the urban forest that generously provides ample shade, and the 5,000-pyeong flower space called Space Hub, which offers a refreshing open view that delights the eyes.

In particular, the newly introduced advanced media art show Space Bridge and the Secret Adventure, which adds thrills to video technology, are popular indoor entertainment contents that capture both the heat and fun simultaneously.

The Summer Garden Club Festa performance held every Saturday night is an ambitious work that blows away the heat with young energy on a midsummer night, featuring a dazzling psychedelic lighting and an intense DJing show.

Additionally, the Garden Dream Boat water parade connecting the National Garden and Dongcheon Stream, the Therapy Garden that heals body and mind, as well as the children’s zoo and water play area within the garden are also popular among repeat visitors.

One tourist expressed satisfaction, saying, “I changed my plan to go to the beach and visited the National Garden instead. There are plenty of things to enjoy in every corner, and the kids loved it, so it was an excellent choice.”

A city official stated, “With the vacation season underway, many people are focusing on the charm of a ‘Garden Vacation’ that relieves fatigue with flowers, trees, breeze, and waterways in the green garden to escape the heat,” adding, “If you are tired of the usual summer spots during the remaining vacation period, please visit the National Garden.”

Detailed information about admission fees and programs can be found on the Suncheonman Bay National Garden website.
