Program Highlights
Step back in time at Gyeongbokgung Palace, where colorful rooftops, royal guard uniforms, and massive gates bring 14th-century Korea to life.

See how cars are made during a tour of a real Korean auto factory—watch machines in motion and trace a vehicle’s journey from parts to production.
Play, ride, and explore at Hyundai Motorstudio Goyang, Korea’s largest automotive theme park, where car design meets immersive exhibits and futuristic fun.
