Taebaek 365 Safe Town in Taebaek, Gangwon-do, is a safety theme park where kids learn about wildfires, heavy snow, floods and earthquakes through hands-on simulations. With elementary-school kids, arrive before 9:30 a.m., do the main safety experience halls first, then pick either fire-safety training or the cable car in the afternoon. As of 2026 the basic ticket was 22,000 won per person with 20,000 won refunded in Taebaek local vouchers; fire training, the cable car and Challenge World cost extra.
Quick Summary
Hours are 9 a.m.–6 p.m., Tuesday to Sunday, with simulations paused from noon to 1 p.m. It’s closed Mondays (or the day after a Monday holiday). The full circuit takes about four hours, and entering after 4 p.m. may mean missing some halls. The vouchers are not cash; they’re spendable at local businesses in Taebaek.
Who It Suits
Taebaek 365 Safe Town is ideal for elementary families who want kids to learn about earthquakes, wildfires and floods through videos and simulators, plus practical skills like escape descenders, fire extinguishers and CPR. Kids sensitive to motion should take it easy on the 4D rides.
One-Day Route
Arrive 9:20 and buy tickets, then wildfire or flood 4D, earthquake and snow halls, daily-life safety and aircraft evacuation, lunch at noon, fire-safety training at 1 p.m., smart CPR, then either the cable car or 9D VR, and leave around 4 p.m. to spend your vouchers in town.
Rather than racing through everything, pick three disaster halls, one daily-life hall and one fire session, and ask kids to explain what they learned.
Parking and Transit
Taebaek 365 Safe Town’s address is 15 Pyeonghwa-gil, Taebaek, and parking is free. The site is large, so grab water, a jacket and a power bank before leaving the car. By public transport, take a local bus or taxi from Taebaek Station or the bus terminal, and check return times on the day.
Tickets and Booking
In 2026: 365 Safety Pass 22,000 won (20,000 won back in vouchers); cable car 2,000 won; “Big 2” (cable car plus one hall) 4,000 won; “Big 3” (two halls) 5,000 won. Individuals buy on site; groups should check the booking guide. Sessions have capacity limits, so arrive at opening on weekends.
Height and Age Limits
The main experience hall at Taebaek 365 Safe Town excludes kids under 48 months or under 100 cm; the seatbelt simulator requires 130 cm and the traffic-safety hall 145 cm. Fire-safety training is for elementary school and up. A mini disaster kit (whistle, small flashlight, bandages, contact card) in a light pouch kids can open is a great follow-up: ask them when they’d use each item.
Food and Cafés
The food court sells pork cutlet and gondre bibimbap, but it’s privately run, so call to confirm it’s open; bring snacks just in case.
Pick just one café, either on site between halls or one with parking on the way into town.
Pros and Cons
Pros: at Taebaek 365 Safe Town kids learn disaster, daily-life and fire safety hands-on, and most of the ticket returns as vouchers for meals in Taebaek. Cons: the basic ticket doesn’t cover everything, height and age limits can split the family, and frequent 4D rides may cause motion sickness.
Good to Know
Don’t do motion simulators back to back. Taebaek can be windy and cool even in summer, so bring a light jacket. The cable car may stop in strong winds.
