Expo Science Park

Getting around: Take Daejeon Metro Line 1 to Expo Park Station, which is a short walk from the park entrance.
Hours: Typically open daily, roughly 9am-6pm; individual pavilion hours vary and some sections close on Mondays.

Expo Science Park is the legacy site of the 1993 Daejeon World Expo, whose theme was science and technology, and it retains several pavilions, the distinctive Hanbit Tower, and green space from that event alongside newer science-focused additions. It's a bit dated compared to when it opened, but still functions as a family-friendly science and recreation park.

It sits directly across from the National Science Museum, and the two are commonly visited together as Daejeon's science-city credentials on display.
