I took my mom there when she visited. We've been there a few times and she's always loved it. She explained the health benefits and we had a nice chat while enjoying the foot spa. It's definitely worth doing with family and friends. There's outline space to take off your shoes and walking without your shoes along the spa area. It's completely outdoors so be sure to go on good weather days.

Most arboretum is located outside of downtown, but Hanbat Arboretum is located in the center of Daejeon. This is a resting place for people who are too busy with their daily lives and good walk for exercising Hanbat Arboretum has two gardens, the east garden is closed on Monday, and the west garden is closed on Tuesday. If you want to see both gardens, I recommend you to visit after Wednesdays. Unfortunately , I visited the garden on Monday and could only see the west garden. I was happy to see well- trimmed trees and trails and what's nice is that there are places for education. Let's look at the west garden, which is different from east garden. You can see straw mats on the ground in case of a rainy and snowy day so that visitors can walk in a pleasant way The west garden has a beautiful landscape where you can spend a lot of time and energy When you come here you can see many signs that can improve your knowledge of plants and nature

This is a really great spot for pictures and to relax. Leisurely stroll along the paths between the buildings. This place is known for the renowned scholar Song Si-Yeol who was concerned with the lives of common folk. Great structures and flor help to capture “classic Korean” pics. Best when visited in the spring and fall. Unfortunately the entrance was destroyed by bad driver, but the grounds were not affected. Good luck and have fun!

This isn't a high elevation walk so you're not having to exert that much energy. The red clay path is a definite must-try. There are areas to wash your feet AND strong air to dry your feet. It's got the red clay on one side and regular paved road on the other. It's suitable for everyone to visit.

I had a wonderful visit to Daejeon’s National Science Museum in August. Many of the signs were in English as well as in Korean, and the museum offers an English Docent program if visitors schedule ahead of time. The complex is enormous, and it has many hands-on activities. I visited the Science & Technology Hall, the Natural History Hall, and the Biosphere over the course of a few hours and felt as though I did not get to see everything. I want to go back again!
