Visiting from abroad
There is no announced English-language support. The official website uses English zone names, but programme descriptions are in Korean only, and most booths are aimed at Korean children. The official listing mentions no advance booking, though we could not confirm arrangements for individual booths. The event works best for families happy to point, watch and try things without much explanation.
Getting there and access
The festival spreads across Hanyang University ERICA Campus, 55 Hanyangdaehak-ro, Sangnok-gu, Ansan. The nearest subway station is Hanyang Univ. at Ansan (Line 4 and the Suin-Bundang Line). By taxi, show the driver the Korean destination below. The official site has now published transport details (checked 5 November).
- No shuttle bus is mentioned in the official travel guide.
- Buses: regular buses 10 and 20 and express buses 3100, 3101 and 3102 stop around the campus. The stops are Hanyang University (한양대), Hanyang University Entrance (한양대 입구), Main Gate (한양대 정문) and Guest House (한양대 게스트하우스). Not every bus stops everywhere. For example, only express buses 3100 and 3101 stop at the Main Gate.
- Driving: about 7 km (10 min) from Maesong IC on the Seohaean Expressway, or about 12 km (20 min) from Seosuwon IC if you come from Gangnam or Pangyo. A parking map is posted only as an image, so we could not confirm how many spaces there are or whether parking is charged.
This year's site map is now on the official website, though booth locations may change on the day. In 2025 activities were spread between the main stage outside the student cafeteria, Minju Plaza, Academic Building 1 and the gym.
