PLAN THE VISIT
A reviewed foundation built from official sources. Traveler edits are checked before publication.
Select the exact daytime or nighttime product; a building-hours listing is not a ticket.
Group and concession conditions differ.
Cloud, rain and wind can remove live celestial viewing without closing the building.
The official route says vehicles cannot drive to the observatory entrance.
It does not prove that a particular telescope or night object is available in your session.
Checked August 29, 2026. Recheck current hours, admission, closures and transport before travel.
Use a Korean map app for the exact entrance and final walking route.
DAY-OF PLAN

Day sessions begin at 10:00 AM, pause around lunch and resume at 1:00 PM. Night timing follows sunset and the current reservation notice.
Monday is the regular closure, moving to Tuesday when Monday is a public holiday; Seollal and Chuseok holiday periods are also closed.
