Bucheon’s Experiment That Began in the 2004 Robot Cluster
In 2004, Bucheon City established a robot cluster by moving robot-related companies, research institutions, and associations into Building 401 of Bucheon Technopark in Yakdae-dong, Wonmi-gu. The Korea Institute of Industrial Technology, Bucheon Industrial Promotion Foundation, Gyeonggi TP, and the Korea Electronics Technology Institute participated in a five-year project from 2004 to 2009 to train next-generation intelligent-robot specialists and lay the foundation for the intelligent robot industry.
On December 28, 2005, a permanent intelligent robot exhibition hall opened, followed by the opening of the Bucheon Robo Park exhibition venue on January 2, 2006. Remodeling of the exhibition venue began on July 12 of the same year, and the Ubiquitous Experience Hall and URC Robot Hall opened on December 19. On June 12, 2007, a lounge was installed inside the exhibition hall.
Three Zones Spanning 2,812㎡ Across Floors 1–3 of Building 401
Bucheon Robo Park was built across the first, second, and third floors of Building 401, with a total floor area of 2,812 square meters (850 pyeong). The building currently houses 16 robot companies and 13 research institutions.
The first floor has a Robo Shop and a 4D theater. The second floor features the Robot Collection Zone, where visitors can experience advanced robot technologies developed through research and development in Bucheon; the Robot Sports Zone, where visitors can operate robots themselves; and the VR Experience Zone, where they can enjoy interactive experiences and VR simultaneously. The third-floor Special Exhibition Room hosts two special exhibitions each year, including artist robot exhibitions and hands-on robot experience exhibitions.
Three Daily Sessions, with On-the-Spot Ticketing Without Reservations
Operating hours are 10:00–17:00, with last admission at 16:00. Visits are divided into three sessions: Session 1, 10:00–12:00; Session 2, 12:30–14:30; and Session 3, 15:00–17:00. The park is closed every Monday. In 2026, it was also closed during the Lunar New Year holiday period, February 16–18.
Individual visitors do not need reservations and may purchase tickets at the on-site kiosk before entering. Reservations are not accepted for individual visits; only groups of 20 or more may reserve, and group discounts are available only when there are at least 20 paying visitors. Groups must register as members on the Robo Park website and apply through the visit reservation menu. To avoid overlapping reservations with other groups, applications should be submitted at least five days before the preferred visit date.
Adults ₩5,000, Bucheon Residents Pay Half Price — How to Read the Admission Fees
Admission is ₩3,000 for elementary school students, ₩4,000 for middle school through university students, and ₩5,000 for general visitors (adults). Group rates (10 preschoolers or 20 visitors from elementary school age and above) are ₩2,400 for elementary school students, ₩3,200 for middle school through university students, and ₩4,000 for general visitors (adults). Bucheon residents up to age 19 enter free, while general visitors (adults) pay ₩2,500.
More recently, admission has been listed as ₩5,000 for adults (50% discount for Bucheon residents), ₩4,000 for students (middle and high school students; free for Bucheon residents), and ₩3,000 for children (36 months to elementary school age; free for Bucheon residents). There are also 20 separate categories eligible for free admission, including children under 36 months, adults aged 65 or older, national merit honorees, and people with disabilities.
An Exhibition Tour That Gathers Visitors in Front of the Transforming Robot Every 20 Minutes
Bucheon Robo Park operates staff-led exhibition tours that begin every hour at 20 minutes past the hour and last approximately 30 minutes, starting in front of the transforming robot. Participation is recommended because demonstrations of certain robots are available only during the times when staff provide explanations.
The humanoid transforming robot consists of 60 joints (actuator motors) and performs a transformation into an SUV-shaped vehicle. This robot operates only during exhibition tour times, which begin every hour at 20 minutes past the hour. The magic robot is a humanoid, multi-jointed robot capable of natural and dynamic movements as a magician, including picking up objects and performing various gestures and actions. Children visiting in groups may also watch the robot dog Genibo dance to music.
Why the Bucheon Technopark Complex 4 Parking Lot Is the Right Answer
Bucheon Technopark Complexes 3 and 4 are industrial complexes developed in 2004 under an order from Korea Land Trust, with SK Engineering & Construction and Korea Development Corporation participating as the contractors. Visitors to Bucheon Robo Park should use the parking lot at Bucheon Technopark Complex 4.
On weekdays and Saturdays, the first hour is free, after which ₩600 is charged for every 30 minutes. On Sundays and public holidays, parking costs ₩1,000 for three hours, followed by a flat rate of ₩3,000. Parking fees are waived for households in Bucheon City with two or more children; residents of sister cities including Hwaseong, Gangneung, Okcheon County, Gongju, Muju County, Jindo County, and Bonghwa County; and groups from childcare centers, kindergartens, and elementary, middle, or high schools in Bucheon.
A Place Where the Corridor Becomes a Lounge — Dining and Accessibility
There is no separate restaurant or lounge inside the Bucheon Robo Park exhibition hall, so visitors must use an outside restaurant before or after their visit. To reduce this inconvenience, a simple lounge and nursing room have been provided in the corridor outside the exhibition hall. Bringing food and beverages such as gum and drinks into the exhibition hall is prohibited.
A ramp leads to the entrance, allowing wheelchair access, and an elevator is available. Accessible restrooms are located on floors 1–3, and the nursing room is in the second-floor corridor. An accessibility lift is installed on the stairs, but there are no dedicated accessible parking spaces.
ROPAS, Founded in 2009, and an Educational Program That Has Trained 23 Engineering Students
To enhance young people’s understanding of robot technology and help them grow into creative, convergence-oriented talent, Bucheon Robo Park founded ROPAS in 2009. It currently operates systematic educational programs including humanoid robot construction and programming classes, coding certification courses, and participation in robot competitions.
Bucheon Robo Park, operated by the Bucheon Industrial Promotion Foundation, has produced the achievement of sending a total of 23 students, as of 2026, on to diverse engineering fields such as robotics, mechanical engineering, and artificial intelligence through ROPAS education. In particular, since 2025 it has expanded its robot content with new robots such as the guide robot Temi, strengthening hands-on robot education beyond simple viewing.
20th-Anniversary Special Exhibition: “15 Robots That Made Bucheon Shine”
To mark the 20th anniversary of the opening of Bucheon Robo Park, the Bucheon Industrial Promotion Foundation held the special exhibition “15 Robots That Made Bucheon Shine” from November 28, 2025, to February 28, 2026. Looking back at the development of robot culture alongside citizens over the past 20 years and introducing the future direction of robot technology, the exhibition featured 15 representative robots showing the evolution of robots, recreated using 3D-printing technology. The exhibition could be viewed in the third-floor Special Exhibition Room without a separate reservation.
Earlier, from November 2, 2024, to May 25, 2025, the 19th-anniversary special exhibition “A Day in the Life of a Robot Family” was held in the third-floor Special Exhibition Room, presenting 18 exhibits made with 3D printing that depicted the robot family characters of Robo Park. From December 6, 2022, to January 29, 2023, the 17th-anniversary special exhibition “Giving Wings to Imagination” was held in the third-floor Special Exhibition Room.
Who It Suits—and Who It Does Not
Bucheon Robo Park is suitable for families with preschool or elementary-school children and for students interested in robots. Since visitors need to plan around the staff-led exhibition tour to see the robot demonstrations properly, it is advantageous to arrive in time for the session start times of 10:00, 12:30, or 15:00.
Conversely, it is not suitable for people expecting to eat or take a long break inside the exhibition hall. Since there is no separate restaurant or lounge inside, meals must be taken outside before or after the visit. In addition, official guidance recommends arriving by private car or taxi and using the Bucheon Technopark Complex 4 parking lot rather than public transportation, which may make the site somewhat inconvenient for travelers who prioritize public-transit access.
