As the five‑day Lunar New Year holiday approaches (Feb 14–18), theme parks, regional winter festivals, science centers and botanical gardens across Korea offer family‑friendly events blending tradition, entertainment and learning. Major theme parks like Lotte World, Everland and Legoland feature hanbok greetings, folk games (e.g., yutnori, ddakjichigi), craft contests for bokjumeoni (fortune pouches), and character shows. Regional festivals such as the Daegwallyeong Snow Festival, Yangpyeong ice‑fishing (bingseong-eo) events and urban light tree displays extend winter activities like sledding, ice fishing and snow sculpture viewing. National science museums and observatories run interactive programs combining traditional arts (samulnori) with science exhibits and special night‑sky talks, while many arboretums and Han River parks offer free admission, nature walks, folk‑game zones and craft workshops. Visitors are advised to check opening dates for Feb 17. This holiday line‑up suits families seeking both relaxation and cultural experiences.
