2026 Goyang International Flower Festival: A Family-Friendly Guide
The peak of spring, filled with the fragrance of flowers, has finally arrived with the much-anticipated '2026 Goyang International Flower Festival' opening its doors!
Many families are likely planning their weekend outings.
I also visited the 'exhibition hall' with my children, filled with excitement!
When going out with kids, the concerns about 'parking' and 'routes' are paramount.
So, I gathered some fresh information from the opening event that I experienced firsthand.
From smart ways to utilize the 'temporary parking lots' without getting lost in the complex event space, to essential exhibition courses that are enjoyable for children!
Let me introduce them in detail now!
The '2026 Goyang International Flower Festival' runs from April 24 to May 10, 2026, from 9 AM to 7 PM at Ilsan Lake Park.
This year's theme is 'Flowers, Coloring Time'.
It’s impressive that the exhibition goes beyond simply appreciating flowers, connecting the past, present, and future through storytelling.
Especially this year, the festival is meaningful as it is a 'citizen-participatory festival' where locals can decorate and enjoy.
There are many spaces for children to experience and participate, which is great for parents!
Before visiting, check the ticket types that suit you to enjoy the festival more economically.
Ticket prices are: General admission - 15,000 won, Discounted - 12,000 won, Group tickets (for 10 or more) - General group 10,000 won / Infant group 4,000 won.
This year, the group ticket standard has been relaxed to 10 people or more, making it easier to visit with neighbors and family.
With just the entrance ticket to the 'Goyang International Flower Festival', you can enjoy discounts at popular nearby tourist attractions, so make sure to keep your ticket.
Due to congestion around the venue, it is best to park at the temporary parking lots and use the free shuttle bus.
I found the system well-organized!
There are banners guiding you to the temporary parking lots around the event area, making them easy to find.
This festival operates three temporary parking lots: Rose, Cactus, and Magpie.
After parking, follow the signs for the 'Free Shuttle Bus Stop'.
Each waiting area has detailed 'operating information'. On weekdays, buses start running at 9 AM, and on holidays at 8:30 AM, so keep this in mind when visiting!
The bus intervals are short, so you won’t have to wait long.
A key tip: Remember the name of the parking lot where you parked to avoid confusion on your return.
You can then choose the shuttle bus heading to your parking lot!
If you're visiting the 'Goyang International Flower Festival' with children, there are must-see courses!
If you're unsure where to start due to the vast exhibition hall, target these enjoyable courses for kids.
This year, you can meet the adorable Pengsoo in the 'Pengsoo's Flower Garden'.
This area is not just about the 'Pengsoo sculpture', but also features a story-like space capturing 'Pengsoo's day' along with vibrant flowers!
Additionally, if you're a fan of Pengsoo, don't miss the news!
On May 1, there is a fan meeting where you can meet Pengsoo in person!
Visiting with your kids during the 'Golden Holiday' in May will surely be an unforgettable gift!
There’s also the 'Garden of Memories', which beautifully interprets this year's theme of 'Time'.
This space is decorated with charming themes that evoke nostalgia for the parents’ generation, making it popular among family visitors.
Explore the alleys with your kids and discover hidden stories!
There are also various events and activities like Minecraft Adventure Village and flower boat experiences waiting for you, so come visit Ilsan Lake Park!
This weekend or during the upcoming 'Golden Holiday' in May, I hope you create unforgettable spring memories filled with the fragrance of flowers in Goyang!
