3. Review of a Sunday 2 PM Admission Visit
Now, I'll share a 100% real review from my family's personal visit to Korean Folk Village!
Parking

These days, the ghost-costumed characters at the Folk Village are incredibly popular on social media,
so we set off prepared for difficult parking.
We arrived around 3:30 PM, and
the parking line wasn't as long as we expected,
so we successfully parked in the **rear parking lot**.

For your reference, the **rear parking lot is close to the amusement park**, so
it's a very convenient route when visiting with young children.
Since **the admission ticket includes unlimited rides**,
you'll definitely want to make the most of them, right?
And even when it was time to leave,
because we had to pass through the amusement park,
we were able to hop on one more ride
with no waiting.
Folk Village Ghosts & Market


As you wander through the Folk Village, you'll easily spot the ghosts in action.



Videos of 'disciplining' children (in a humorous, playful way) are popular these days,
but seeing it in person was even more exciting!

As evening approached, we figured the market would get crowded and it would be hard to find a place to eat,
so we headed to the market a little early.


We ordered acorn jelly salad, *mul naengmyeon* (cold noodle soup), and Hanwoo beef soup.
The acorn jelly salad seemed to be a popular choice, so we decided to give it a try,
and it was absolutely delicious!
Highly recommend it as a market menu item at Korean Folk Village (한국민속촌) in Yongin (용인)!
Horseback Riding Experience

Payment for the horseback riding experience
is made at the kiosk next to the performance hall snack bar.

✅Ages 0-6 (riding with parent) / ₩10,000 (~$7)
✅Ages 7-12 (children) / ₩6,000 (~$4)
✅Ages 13+ (adults) / ₩7,000 (~$5)


One big lap on the horse,
and suddenly ₩12,000 (~$9) vanishes!
ㅋㅋㅋ (LOL)
But the kids said they had so much fun,
so I'm happy with that!
4. Yeonbun (연분) & Ghost Tag (귀신 술래잡기)

When we visited last Chuseok holiday,
there were so many people,
that we had to watch the Yeonbun night performance only on a monitor.
That was such a shame,
so this time, we secured our seats early.
The Yeonbun performance starts at 8 PM,
but we claimed our seats around 6:10 PM,
and even then, many people were already seated in the front rows.

We went to the restroom beforehand,
and bought snacks and drinks from the snack bar,
then endured nearly two hours with the kids.
Sitting on the stone steps for a long time,
my bottom started to ache. ㅠㅠ (Sob)
Those with Korean Folk Village know-how
brought folding portable chairs with them,
and we saw them setting up
right behind the stone steps.
If you plan to watch the Yeonbun performance, be sure to bring a portable chair or cushion!


After a two-hour wait, the Yeonbun performance we watched
was of higher quality than expected,
and it was so magnificent and amazing that it was hard to tear our eyes away.
Even the kids were completely engrossed,
watching in hushed silence for the entire 30-minute show.
If you visit Korean Folk Village, be sure to catch the Yeonbun performance!

Once the performance ends, in the empty lot right next door,
Ghost Tag begins at 8:40 PM.
We even stayed to watch Ghost Tag.

When we entered at 3:30 PM,
I was worried it might not be worth the money,
but we enjoyed over 5 hours packed with everything from rides and ghost experiences,
to horseback riding, market food, the Yeonbun performance, and even Ghost Tag!
It was a truly fulfilling and fun visit.
As autumn deepens,
Create unforgettable memories at Yongin Korean Folk Village (한국민속촌)!
