Daejeon Expo Park (대전엑스포과학공원)
Daejeon Expo Park was established following the closing of the Daejeon Expo in 1993. The park comprises various facilities like the Hanbit Tower, the representative tower of Daejeon World Expo, and a water plaza with a musical fountain. At night, a fabulous media facade and special lighting effects create an awesome scene against the backdrop of Hanbit Tower.
Why go
Daejeon Expo Science Park occupies the site of the 1993 Daejeon World Exposition, one of Asia's landmark science-themed world fairs. Located in Daejeon, the park preserves several original pavilions alongside interactive science exhibitions, an IMAX dome theater, and outdoor attractions. The iconic Hanbit Tower — the expo's central landmark — offers a panoramic view of the city from its observation deck. The park functions as both a science education destination and a leisure space, drawing families, school groups, and international visitors interested in Korea's modern science heritage and urban development story.
