Korean Folk Village
한국민속촌
The operator says outright that its hours move with the season and the weather, and it means it: in August 2026 the village runs a night season closing at midnight, and the only passes on sale are 16:00 and 18:00 entries. Read the dated notice for your day before planning anything around it.

Nearby
Suwon Convention Center
The exhibition and conference complex at Gwanggyo in Suwon's Yeongtong district. Most stops on Suwon City's filming-location course cluster around the fortress wall and this one is out in the Gwanggyo new town, so it needs its own trip rather than joining a walk along the wall.
Silla Galbi
A Suwon galbi house in Woncheon-dong. Its Century Shop citation records that it has served the same salt-seasoned fresh ribs since it opened.
Wolhwawon Garden, Hyowon Park
A Chinese garden built inside Hyowon Park, put up through an exchange between Gyeonggi Province and Guangdong. Its walls, pavilions and pond follow a grammar Korean gardens do not.
Everland
Nobody can tell you when Everland closes, because Everland does not publish a standing closing time — it publishes one per day. What it does publish is a price list, and the shape of that list tells you the shape of the day: a full-day pass, an afternoon pass, and a night pass that admits you from 18:00.
Frequently asked questions
How do I get there by public transport?
Every route ends in one bus transfer — the operator says so itself. The nearest station is Sanggal on the Suin-Bundang Line; take bus 37 or 10-5 from exit 3. From Suwon Station, exit 4, the same two buses. Direct coaches run from Sinnonhyeon (5001-1), Gangnam Station (1560) and Seoul Station (4101).
Can I get there from Incheon Airport?
Yes — airport bus A8877 runs to the Korean Folk Village via Gwanggyo Jungang Station, Heungdeok and Singal Intersection.
Do I need the app?
Passes are used through the Korean Folk Village app — log in, then the home screen or the ticket tab.
