    DAY-OF PLAN

    Know the sequence before you go.

    Times from the operator are kept separate from Korea Era planning guidance.
    1. 01
      Check heat, rain and the usable approach

      The outdoor park is listed year-round and always open, but weather, maintenance, ice and trail conditions can make the models or onward Gosan-gol route unsuitable.

    2. 02
      Separate interpretation from play

      The site connects a 2006 dinosaur-footprint discovery with models and interpretation. Keep children on the visitor path and never climb models, signs or fossil-related features.

    3. 03
      Choose a separate walking turnaround

      The dinosaur zone is a family stop, while an Apsan or Gosan-gol walk adds slopes, distance and weather exposure. Turn around for daylight and the group's ability.

      Before the family visit

      Check heat, rain and the usable approach

      The outdoor park is listed year-round and always open, but weather, maintenance, ice and trail conditions can make the models or onward Gosan-gol route unsuitable.

    2. 02
      At the entrance

      Separate interpretation from play

      The site connects a 2006 dinosaur-footprint discovery with models and interpretation. Keep children on the visitor path and never climb models, signs or fossil-related features.

    3. 03
      Before continuing uphill

      Choose a separate walking turnaround

      The dinosaur zone is a family stop, while an Apsan or Gosan-gol walk adds slopes, distance and weather exposure. Turn around for daylight and the group's ability.

    4. Traveler tips

    • Visit earlier on hot days, carry water and touch-test neither sun-heated models nor barriers.
    • Explain to children that the large animals are modern displays linked to a real local fossil discovery.
    • Treat any Apsan continuation as a separate hike with weather, footwear, distance and turnaround planning.
    • Search “대구 고산골 공룡공원” in Naver Map or Kakao Map and confirm the exact entrance and return route.
    • Recheck weather, trail or garden closures, last entry and seasonal conditions before departure.
    • The catalogue coordinate is an approximate centre pin, not turn-by-turn entrance guidance.
