For a day at Yongin’s Korean Folk Village, list-price examples on official promo tables show about ₩39,000 for adults/youth and ₩32,000 for children/seniors/disability, while the same month’s ticket shop often sells weekday/weekend/day-part passes far lower. Parking on the official transport page is ₩2,000 compact / ₩3,000 large (50% off for registered disability vehicles). Address: 90 Minsokchon-ro, Giheung-gu, Yongin. Call 031-288-0000. Always trust the ticket & hours screen for your visit date.
The Korean Folk Village in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province, recreates late-Joseon village life with traditional houses, markets, craft workshops and daily folk performances, and it is an easy day trip from Seoul or Suwon. Its pricing is less straightforward than most attractions: there is a list price, and then a constantly changing set of online and on-site discounts by month, weekday and time of day. This guide explains how to read those prices, how the opening hours shift, how to get there by public transport, and how to plan a day that does not run out of time.
How much are tickets?
Separate list price from promo price. A September 2026 birthday-discount table on the official site lists adults/youth at ₩39,000 and child/senior/disability at ₩32,000. Online same-month passes have shown weekday all-day ~₩21,900, weekend ~₩23,900, plus 14:00/16:00/18:00 timed tickets. Weekday, early-entry, timed and multi-person passes also appear on the ticket page, and public-transport, Gyeonggi resident and partner-card on-site deals are offered for limited periods. Figures here are examples; the live ticket page wins.
| Item | Example | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Adult/youth list | ₩39,000 | Official discount table |
| Child/senior/disability list | ₩32,000 | Same |
| Weekday/weekend online | ~₩20k band | /ticket |
| Timed tickets | ~₩17–20k | /ticket |
| Hotline | 031-288-0000 | Phone |
Village shows (pungmul, pangut) usually come with admission; some experiences/attractions may cost extra—check “This month’s performances.”
When to buy
Weekdays favor weekday or timed passes; busy weekends and night events favor all-day. Birthday/transit discounts often need on-site ID or proof. Entry is by QR code in the app, so after booking, finish the app login before you arrive so QR entry works at the gate.
What are the opening hours?
Hours change by weekday, season, and special events. Use the home-page “Hours” strip for that day. Example: 24 Sep 2026 showed 10:00–22:00; other guides mention Mon–Thu to 18:00 and Fri–Sun to 22:00. Night content days (such as the seasonal ghost-themed events) run late, and it is worth staying into the evening on those dates; weekday-only visitors should avoid arriving within an hour of closing. Calling 031-288-0000 is safest.
Show times
Home listings include a daily traditional folk music performance (“Urigarak”) at 11:30, 14:30 and 16:30, while the pungmul (farmers’ band) and Samdo pangut performances run at different times Monday–Thursday than on Friday–Sunday and public holidays. Schedules can be reorganised, so treat the day-of board and homepage as final.
How do I get there from Seoul?
Per official transport page: Suin–Bundang Sanggal Station exit 3 → bus 37 or 10-5. Suwon Station exit 4 also feeds 37 / 10-5. Express buses include 5001-1 (Sinnonhyeon), 1560 (Gangnam), 4101 (Seoul Station area). From Incheon Airport, A8877 stops via Gwanggyo/Singal. If you drive, enter “Korean Folk Village” into your navigation app and use the official paid lot.
| Mode | Key | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Metro + bus | Sanggal → 37 / 10-5 | Closest metro |
| Suwon Station | 37 / 10-5 | Exit 4 |
| Express bus | 5001-1 / 1560 / 4101 | Gangnam / Seoul St. |
| Airport bus | A8877 | Incheon |
| Parking | ₩2,000 / ₩3,000 | 50% disability |
Suggested route
Morning folk/market villages → lunch → 1–2 shows → evening zone on night-event days. Pin stage numbers on the map app or the official map — for example, Wanhyangnu (No. 19) and the No. 37 performance stage — to keep walking between shows short. Pairing with Everland the same day usually thins both visits—focus on the Folk Village for a day trip.
Food and souvenirs from restaurants and shops inside the village are priced separately; the homepage has its own sections for the official store and K-food. Budget for tickets and meals separately rather than lumping them together. Group bookings (kindergarten, primary, secondary, adult and welfare groups) use a separate reservation menu with different prices and routes from individual day tickets.
On night-event days closing can stretch to 22:00, while on weekday-only schedules the gates may close around 18:00 — so the one-line operating notice at the top of the homepage matters more than how long your planned route is. Parking and ticket queues also eat into your visit, so actual viewing time is usually shorter than the posted hours suggest. On rainy days, swap the order so indoor exhibitions and covered stages come first, and watch your footing on wet dirt and gravel paths.
For a day trip from Seoul, the basic pattern is: arrive in the morning, walk the folk village loop, have lunch, catch a show, and head back. Express buses cut down on transfers, while the Sanggal Station transfer can add 20–30 minutes depending on how often buses run. Bus numbers on the official transport page can be reorganised, so open the same page again just before you set off.
Tips
Paths can be gravel and sloping for strollers/wheelchairs. Midday weekends mean ticket and food queues. Food and gift shops are priced separately from admission.
Budget at a glance
For two adults, if online weekday passes are available, admission can come to the mid-₩40,000s in total; at list price or on weekends it easily passes ₩70,000. Parking (₩2,000 for a compact car) and food and souvenirs are extra. If your group includes children or seniors, select each age band separately on the ticket screen. Slotting indoor exhibitions and shaded performance stages into the middle of your route helps you avoid giving up halfway on very hot or rainy days. If you plan to film, check the official filming-enquiry menu first — commercial shoots and drones may need separate permission.
