용인 가볼만한 곳On the 12th, Yongin City introduced themed summer travel destinations that are great for the whole family to enjoy a cool summer. You can choose according to your taste, from free water parks for children to indoor sensory experiences. In addition, the appeal is that you can meet fresh nature in just one hour from Seoul. It is perfect for a day trip or to enjoy a summer night under the stars.
In the summer, water play is the best. Yongin City will operate a free water park at the former police station in Eonnam-dong, Giheung-gu from July 20 to August 18. It is a popular summer hot place for local residents, with a cumulative number of visitors reaching 780,000 since 2016.
This year, a summer festival called the ‘2019 Yongin City Cool Summer Festival’ will be held where the whole family can enjoy a cool summer. The water park, which can be enjoyed by children aged 3 to 9, will be open from 10 p.m. to 5 p.m., with three pools for each age group, a lazy river, slides, and bounce.
There will be a festival for the whole family to participate in, including woodworking, pottery, bubble and mime performances, water gun games, a fun sports day of memories, and a red bean shaved ice festival.
During the same period, the Yongin Youth Training Center in Yangji-myeon, Cheoin-gu will also operate a water park and a four-season sledding hill. Anyone of any age can use it, and you can cool off with cool water play and feel the thrill of tube sledding.
Everland, the city’s representative tourist attraction, will hold a water gun fight game called ‘Shooting Water Fun’ until August 25, and Caribbean Bay will hold various performances from July 20 to August 17. Yangji Pine Resort will open Aqua Fun, which has five pools, a spa, and a foot massage bath, from July 20 to August 18.
Yongin is a place where you can meet nature just by taking a step out of the city. If you need a refreshing recharge during the summer when your body and mind are exhausted, how about going to the mountains of Yongin?
Yongin Natural Recreation Forest in Choburi, Mohyeon-eup, Cheoin-gu is a resting place where you can enjoy walks, picnics, and sports in the lush forest. It operates a forest healing program with the themes of healing, family, care, and wellness for office workers and couples who need to recharge. You can walk along the forest path with a forest healing instructor, communicate with the forest, and learn forest gymnastics, barefoot walking, and meditation for free.
If you have the spirit of an explorer, I recommend experiencing the ‘zipline’ that crosses the forest of Jeonggwangsan like a bird and the ‘eco adventure’ that stimulates children’s sense of adventure. For those who are good with their hands, I recommend the Wood Culture Experience Center where you can make your own wooden crafts such as daily necessities, tables, and benches made of raw wood. Zipline: 35,000 won, Eco Adventure: 10,000 won, Wood Culture Experience: 3,000-50,000 won)
If you like flowers, the Yongin Rural Theme Park in Wonsam-myeon, Cheoin-gu, which is covered in wildflowers on about 120,000㎡, is also good. The ‘10,000 Morning Glory Festival’ will be held as a summer garden party from July 20 to 26.
The Hantaek Botanical Garden in Baekam-myeon, Cheoin-gu, which is the largest wild flower report in Korea, is the largest botanical garden in Korea where you can see 10,000 species of native and foreign plants on a 200,000 pyeong site. The Australian and South African greenhouses, which feature summer flowers such as lavender and hydrangeas and various cacti such as the Little Prince’s baobab tree, are popular.
Yongin has a hidden charm of stars that cannot be felt during the day. The resort forest and youth training center each have installed decks in their campsites, allowing you to enjoy refreshing summer night camping.
When it’s hard to even stand under the hot summer sun, let’s enjoy a break indoors. At the Yongin Children’s Imagination Forest in Samga-dong, Cheoin-gu, which reopened in May, you can experience content related to the 4th Industrial Revolution, such as the Robot Playground where you can experience coding, and the Imagination Playground where you can project your drawings onto an AR cube and realize them in 3D.
The Gyeonggi Provincial Museum in Singal-dong, Giheung-gu, will hold the ‘Find Gyeonggi Treasures’ program for elementary school students from July 24 to August 14 for 13 sessions. You can naturally learn about the history and culture of Gyeonggi-do while finding treasures scattered throughout the museum.
The Gyeonggi Provincial Children’s Museum right next door will hold a special exhibition titled ‘Meeting Children 100 Years Ago’ until August 18. The whole family can go on a trip back in time to see what children were doing and playing 100 years ago when the cheers of March 1st Independence were ringing out.
At Yongin Insect Theme Park in Baekam-myeon, Cheoin-gu, an experiential learning center where you can touch and observe insects, you can experience a variety of experiences such as insect exhibition guides, rainbow-colored sand art, animal feeding, and making insect 3D puzzles as part of the insect experience family package.
Flystation in Pogok-eup, Cheoin-gu, the first indoor skydiving experience center in Korea, has been receiving a lot of attention from extreme sports enthusiasts, to the point that it has been talked about through SNS even before its opening. You can relieve both heat and stress at once by experiencing the experience of flying through the sky on the winds of 360 km/h. It is a thrill that can only be enjoyed in Yongin.
