Changwon City has officially begun operating the “Bamgol Yeoul Madang Children’s Theme Experience Zone” inside Pallyong Park in Masanhoewon-gu, offering a new indoor play and learning space focused on virtual reality and interactive activities for children.

Built at a cost of 1.95 billion won, the facility is located in Hapseong-dong and covers a total area of 1,725 square meters, including a 463-square-meter building filled with hands-on experience zones and digital attractions.

The children’s facility is divided into two main sections: the “Earth Zone” and the “Space Zone.”

The Earth Zone features VR sports and virtual physical education experiences, while the Space Zone includes trampoline activities and environmental-themed interactive exhibits designed to encourage imagination and movement.

Additional programs include VR rides and drone simulation experiences.

Changwon City began pilot operations on May 1, with free admission offered during the trial period.

The facility is open to children aged 4 to 12 and operates with separate morning and afternoon sessions. It remains closed on Mondays, Tuesdays, and most public holidays, with the exception of Children’s Day.

To maintain safety and avoid overcrowding, reservations are currently required through the Changwon City website, with participation limited to 20 visitors per session during the pilot operation period.
