Where is the show?

Map reference point: Jayang (Ttukseom Hangang Park) Station Exit 1, the recommended event-day access point for the drone show area.

Nearest subway station
The nearest subway stop is Jayang (Ttukseom Hangang Park) Station on Seoul Subway Line 7. For drone-show days, the organizer has specifically advised visitors to use Exit 1. Exits 2 and 3 may be restricted for crowd management during the event.
This event-day guidance is important because normal access information for Ttukseom Hangang Park may point visitors toward other exits. Follow the latest drone-show notice and on-site staff instructions instead of relying only on a normal-day route.
Should you drive?
Public transportation is strongly recommended. Seoul warns that the area around Ttukseom Hangang Park can become heavily congested during the drone light show, and parking may be limited. Previous event notices have also included temporary vehicle-exit restrictions at some park parking lots after the performance.
How much does it cost?
The Seoul event information describes the drone show as free to watch. It can be viewed from areas around the park, although crowded spots may be controlled for safety.
