Suwon Arboretum Irwol

Suwon Arboretum Irwol is a major public arboretum in Suwon, Gyeonggi-do, opened in 2023 as one of Korea's newest large-scale botanical-garden projects. The arboretum spans approximately 100,000 square meters with themed botanical zones — a Korean traditional garden, a wetland garden, a herb garden, an alpine zone, and broader landscape-design zones — and includes a large central pond, a contemporary visitor center, and walking paths threading the various themed zones. Programming includes seasonal garden-festival events and ongoing horticultural-education programs. Best in spring through autumn for the strongest seasonal landscape, paired with broader Suwon-area itineraries.
