Incheon Children Science Museum - Gyeyang District

Incheon Children's Science Museum

The Incheon Children Science Museum, designed with the concept of a "Sponge that embraces children's dreams," integrates architecture, exhibition, landscaping, and interior design to create a stimulating environment for children.

The museum features Dream, Eco, Community, and Funny Icons to engage and educate young visitors.

It is located at the entrance of KyeYang Mountain in Bang Chug-Dong, Kyeyang-gu, Incheon, emphasizing the connection between the city and nature.

Incheon Children's Science Museum is close to my house. During my bicycle exercise, I usually pass this building as it is by the road home and looks inviting.

The serene environment is close to the mountain, so people enjoy their strolls, jogs, and relaxation. My wife and I used to walk around the area with our beloved dog (Angie), who died of old age (October 2023).

Alright...

Let me continue describing the building...

The museum boasts remarkable architectural design, showcasing an exceptional, unconventional shape. The building's façade is beautifully perforated, giving it a unique and mesmerizing appearance that resembles a dream icon.

The landscaping is quite attractive to me. I prefer to look and explore around during the Spring and Summer seasons. That's because it's the time of the year when the management revitalizes the gardens so that you will see colorful plants and flowers everywhere.

Landscaping is a versatile art that creates a harmonious blend of outdoor spaces, seamlessly blending the natural world with urban life.

With its ability to transform any outdoor area into a multi-dimensional experience, landscaping provides an unparalleled connection between the city and nature, creating an aesthetically pleasing and functional environment.

Whether it's designing a lush garden, a serene park, or a vibrant public space, landscaping allows us to experience the beauty of the natural world in a way that is both accessible and engaging.

Interior Design

The primary aim of interior design is to provide a stimulating and immersive environment for children to engage in science-based activities playfully and educationally.

The design elements are carefully chosen to encourage exploration, experimentation, and discovery.

Everything is geared towards inspiring curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking, from the space layout to the color scheme.

The interior design also considers children's safety and comfort, ensuring the space is secure and inviting.

Overall, the design aims to create an environment that fosters a love for science and learning in children in a fun and interactive way.

All modes of public transportation have convenient access to the building.

By Taxi
Yes, taxis are everywhere in Korea. It is the preferred vehicle if you have somebody traveling with you. Or else, you can take the more economical rides such as buses or the subway.

By Subway (Incheon Line 1)
You can get off at Imhak Station (Incheon Line 1), and it would take about 10-15 minutes on foot.

By Bus
Take the Samwha bus (#1500) from Seoul Station and get off at Gyeyang District (near Lotte Mart) - its terminal. Both ways, time travel would take about 50-60 minutes.

If you're arriving at Incheon International Airport (ICN) and need to get to Gyeyang District (specifically, the Lotte Mart area), taking a bus is convenient. Buses such as 111 (among others) are available and will take around 40 minutes to reach your destination.
