2026 Taean Autumn Flower Expo Dates, Admission Fees, Light Festival Hours—Before Visiting Nature World with Kids
The scent of chrysanthemums is in the air 🌼
2026 Taean Autumn Flower Expo
is being held at
Nam-myeon Nature World in Taean
from September 17 (Thu) to November 1 (Sun).
I’ve organized the details
from the Taean-gun press release (September 7)
and the official website.
🔴 Happening Now
Including today, Thursday, October 8,
there are 25 days left until November 1 (Sun).
There are no scheduled closed days according to the official info.
Expo entry is daily from 09:00~21:30,
and closing time is 22:30.
The evening lights (Light Festival) are scheduled as follows.
| Remaining Dates | Light Festival Entry Time |
|---|---|
| 10/8 (Thu) to 10/31 (Sat) | 18:30~21:30 (Closes at 22:30) |
| 11/1 (Sun) Last Day | 17:30~21:00 (Closes at 22:00) |
On November 1, the Light Festival schedule changes,
so the hours are different.
If you plan to visit on the last day,
be sure to double-check the entry cutoff.

The Taean Flower Expo Organizing Committee hosts the event,
with Nature Agricultural Corporation as the main operator.
The county press release also lists Korea Flower Park as an organizer.
It’s not just a single type of flower—
various autumn flower species are on display together.
The festival grounds are said to be as large as 14 soccer fields.
Taean-gun says if you visit at sunset,
you can enjoy both the flowers and the lights.

The website’s ‘Expo News’ section
posts flower photos by date.
The most recent post is from October 7.
💡 Taean Light Festival After Sunset
At the same Nature World venue,
the Taean Light Festival is held year-round.
It’s a nighttime garden with LED lights
creating a beautiful evening scene.
The Light Festival turns on the lights after sunset.
The lights are not turned on when it rains.
This applies during the Flower Expo as well.

According to the official price list,
the Autumn Flower Expo and Light Festival

🚗 Getting There & Parking
From Seohaean Expressway Seosan IC or Haemi IC,
follow National Route 77 past Taean,
then head toward Mageompo at Woncheong Intersection.
There is no parking info on the website.
Naver Place (checked October 8)
lists free parking.
Here is the bus info from the website.
| Bus | Website Info |
|---|---|
| To the venue | From Taean Terminal, take the Gomseom/Mageompo-bound bus, get off in front of Nature World |

City bus times may vary by about 10~15 minutes.
👨👩👧 If You’re Visiting with Kids
Children under 36 months are free.
Naver Place notes that
the event grounds and parking lot are unpaved,
so strollers may be a bit inconvenient.
According to a 2018 Q&A on the website,
strollers can be borrowed at the ticket booth
on a first-come, first-served basis.
Reservations are not accepted.
Pets must be on a leash and have waste bags;
medium and large dogs must also wear a muzzle.
Smoking or drinking may result in denied entry or removal from the venue.
but the last bus from Nature World to the terminal
is at 20:10.
If you're taking the bus, plan your return time in advance.
⏳ Not Yet Announced
□ Expo period performances and hands-on programs
□ Parking lot location and size (website info)
□ Re-entry if staying from day to night

These have not been officially announced yet.
I’ll update this post if new info comes out.
