Hello!
As the cool breeze begins to blow in October, Ilsan Lake Park is adorned with vibrant autumn colors.
From October 1st to 11th, the '2026 Goyang Autumn Flower Festival' is taking place at the main square of Ilsan Lake Park.
This year's theme is 'Autumn Palette,' featuring various autumn flowers, gardens, and experiential programs.
Best of all, the festival is free to enter! I visited with my son to enjoy the autumn flowers, ride the flower pedal boat, and participate in activities that my child would love, spending a delightful half day.
Upon entering the festival, the first thing that catches your eye is the 'Autumn Garden,' decorated in a variety of colors. Walking slowly among chrysanthemums, cosmos, and other autumn flowers made me truly feel the change of seasons.
There are many spots perfect for taking photos, making it a great place for families, couples, and friends to create autumn memories.
Next year marks the 30th anniversary of the Goyang International Flower Exhibition, and there was a space to celebrate this milestone, allowing visitors to leave supportive messages.
One of the highlights of my visit was the 'Flower Pedal Boat.' Seeing Ilsan Lake Park from the water provided a completely different perspective. Enjoying the cool autumn breeze while floating on the lake was a healing experience.
My son had a great time riding the pedal boat, and I thought it was a must-try if you visit the Goyang Autumn Flower Festival. This experience is recommended for family outings, dates, or visits with friends.
Don't miss the experiential booths at the festival! We visited the 'General's Grandmother' experience center, which tells the story of a Joseon-era female hero who helped lead a victory in a historic battle. It was wonderful to learn about her story while engaging in the activities.
We also participated in 'Flower Bingo,' where completing the bingo card while enjoying the festival earned us snacks. There were many interactive programs, especially suited for family visitors.
While exploring the festival, we discovered another event called '2026 PEER Flower Festival,' featuring live performances, food trucks, and a lively atmosphere. It was a great space to enjoy with friends or a partner.
After walking through the flower fields and riding the pedal boat, we got hungry and tried 'Han River Ramen' from the concession stand. Eating ramen outdoors always feels more delicious, and it felt like a picnic by the lake.
My recommended half-day itinerary includes visiting the main garden, leaving a message for the 30th birthday celebration, riding the flower pedal boat, exploring the experience center, playing Flower Bingo, and checking out the food trucks or snacks.
On the way out, you can find various flowers grown by local farmers available for purchase, allowing you to take a piece of the festival home with you.
Parking can be crowded during the festival, especially at the nearby 'Third Parking Lot.' I recommend using public transportation and walking to the venue if possible.
The '2026 Goyang Autumn Flower Festival' runs from October 1st to October 11th, from 9 AM to 6 PM, with free admission.
The pedal boat costs 14,000 KRW for two people and 21,000 KRW for three, operating from 9 AM until sunset.
Thank you for reading!
