We travelled all the way here for my 4 year old dino-obsessed son. We thought it was totally worth it! Word of warning - taxis are hard to come by so you are probably better off prebooking your ride. The main exhibit hall was great - lots of informative stuff in English. They also have separate buildings for an Insectarium (which we didn’t go to) and a Space Centre (which we did but left quickly as it was all in korean and we understood nothing). There’s a Dino park outside as well with Dino statues which my son loved taking photos of.

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!
