This is the premiere science museum of South Korea and is well worth the visit. This is true even if you are not korean language proficient as most if the exhibits have English language explanations. I have been to science museims all over the world including the NYC Natural History Museum and this one here is in the big leagues. The exhibits related to the epochs of the earth are very well presented. Each one includes a earth model globe showing how the earth looked at that period. I was especially impressed with the trilobite exhibit for the Paleozoic period. Also there are Mesozoic dinosaur skeletons that are really impressive. I was particularly impressed with the exhibit related to how birds evolved from dinosaurs! Look at the photos as I tried to show a few of the exhibits at this world class miseum. I have not covered the other buildings like the planetarium or Science Technology Building. I could go on and on about the excellent section on insects, plants, and animals of the Cenozoic but please go and experience these exhibits while visiting Daejeon. There is also an area for camping. There is no fee for the museum but parking is about $2 and there is ample parking too.

This is one of the scientific culture facilities in Republic of Korea which studies and exhibits various scientific materials. At its center is the Austronaut Hall which is the largest dome in Korea. From there we can vividly see the phenomenon of the celestial sphere and the human development of space. It also has the only world-class space theater in Korea. The 242 seats are available on a first-come first serve basis. It can re-create the appearance of a night sky, the highlight being the view of the starlight at the planetarium.

If you are science enthusiast or a common person you can visit National Science Museum. There are many difficult science experiments explained and demonstrated easily. Physics, chemistry biology, history, robotics many more. You can go with your kid. Age is no limit. If your kid cannot understand the science ar least they will enjoy the huge space for playing.

A very big museum, absolutely worth visiting! It had 3 main buildings, one is a natural history museum with rocks and animals including dinausaurs, another one is practical, where you can try some experiments and the third one (my favourite) is dedicated to technology and the future. The entrance is free and the park around is is very beautiful.

The Natural Science Museum is a wonderful place for adults and children. It has various buildings which scientific marvels from Korea and around the world. This museum has a charming playground and park along with a family friendly price. It is just outside the city center but make the trip and let your imagination flow through its exhibits.

I am in love with Korean Museums. One of the reasons is the National Science Museum. Starting from prehistoric era to latest modern technologies, the evolution of human civilization and scientific progress cannot be displayed more better than this. I would love to visit anytime.
