2026 Dongjak Future Science Festival

The 2026 Dongjak Future Science Festival will be held for one day on October 24, 2026, at Noryangjin Neighborhood Park, 71 Yeouidaebang-ro 36-gil, Dongjak-gu, Seoul. It has not yet been announced whether admission and activity fees will be free or paid. Although a recruitment notice for advance applicants to the Attraction Zone was posted on October 13, 2026, whether reservations are required for the entire event and how to make them have not been confirmed. Unlike the Titan Robot Performance and Infento Racing introduced at the 6th edition in 2025, the 2026 event features a Humanoid Robot Performance and an AI Science Magic Show.

The stage changed from Titan in 2025 to humanoids in 2026

The 6th edition in 2025 introduced a Titan Robot Performance, Infento Racing, and future job experiences by KidZania and Samsung Electronics. In 2026, the main stage programs have changed to a Humanoid Robot Performance, AI Science Magic Show, Science Circus Drama, and Science DJ Party.

The names of the robot and drone programs also differ by edition. A Pop Drone Battle was held in 2024, while a Titan Robot Performance took place in 2023, allowing comparison with the 2026 Humanoid Robot Performance.

The photos shown below are materials from previous editions held from 2023 to 2025, so you should not assume that the layout or performance scenes at the 2026 event will be the same. Instead, they are useful for comparing how this edition has expanded from the past robot- and drone-focused programs and what names the new programs have.

Getting to 71 Yeouidaebang-ro 36-gil and deciding whether to make it a day trip

The venue is Daebang Park Sports Field at Noryangjin Neighborhood Park, 71 Yeouidaebang-ro 36-gil, Dongjak-gu, Seoul. Since the event information lists both Daebang Park Sports Field and Noryangjin Neighborhood Park, it is safer to enter both names and the road-name address into a map app.

The name of the nearest subway station or bus stop in 2026, the walking distance to the venue, shuttle bus details, and parking information have not been released. The event end time and last public transportation information for returning home are also unavailable, so it is not currently possible to confirm whether a day trip is feasible.

If you want to ask again about directions and same-day operations before departing, you can call the Youth Programs Team at Daebang Youth Center at 02-845-0924. This number is listed for inquiries related to the Future Science Festival.

How to view more than 30 activities across three zones

In 2026, more than 30 future technology and science convergence activities will be available. In addition to the Humanoid Robot Performance and AI Science Magic Show, the stage is scheduled to feature a Science Circus Drama and Science DJ Party.

The Attraction Zone includes Challenge Treasure Grab, a large-scale human claw-machine game; AI Robot Battle; Drone Obstacle Challenge; and next-generation mobility robots. Since a notice recruiting advance applicants for the Attraction Zone was posted on October 13, 2026, those targeting this zone should first check whether applications are still available.

The Future Technology Experience Zone covers AI baduk and omok, AR shooting, smart drums and piano, and RoboDog. The Science Convergence Experience Zone includes PsyPop and Moving Studio, so the event is not structured solely around watching robot performances and moving on.

The event is intended for teenagers and local residents. Information about English signs, leaflets, interpretation, and the operating language for each program in 2026 has not been released, so travelers who plan to participate using only English should ask about language support at the venue first.

What to confirm for 2026 at 02-845-0924

The key contact number to check before the 2026 event is 02-845-0924. This is the inquiry number for the Future Science Festival operated by the Youth Programs Team at Daebang Youth Center.

Information about rainy-weather operations, cancellation and refund policies, and wheelchair and stroller routes has not been released. The current information also does not confirm the locations of restrooms, luggage storage, rest areas, or food stalls, nor whether card and cash payments will be accepted.

People who want to quietly watch the performance stages and Science DJ Party, those who require English guidance, and those who need to avoid returning late may find it difficult to plan because operating hours and on-site support information are insufficient. Conversely, travelers who want to choose clearly named individual activities such as AI baduk, AR shooting, or RoboDog should first check the event zones before moving around.

Before departing on October 24, 2026, check the official information for operating hours, rainy-weather policies, and reservation status. If you need accessibility or English support, contact 02-845-0924 directly.
