Plan the order of the cave and Ilchulland’s gardens

Consider viewing Micheongul Cave and the outdoor gardens after entering Ilchulland. The operator suggests about 1–1.5 hours for the whole park, so decide at the entrance whether to see only the cave or include the gardens.

Locate Micheongul Cave on the park map, then choose the waterside park or gardens as your next stop. Check activities such as citrus experiences, dyeing and foot baths for their separate seasonal and booking conditions.

Conditions for children visiting the cave and dogs entering the park

The operator allows dogs into Ilchulland park provided they are kept on a leash and owners clean up after them. With children, watch for dark sections and uneven footing, do not touch cave formations and stay on the designated viewing path.

Ask the operator separately whether dogs may enter Micheongul Cave and which areas permit them. Even in areas where dogs are allowed, follow on-site conditions such as keeping them on a leash and cleaning up after them.

Find the Ilchulland entrance in Samdal-ri

The destination is Ilchulland at 중산간동로 4150-30. Do not interpret the cave’s main land-parcel address as a separate free entrance outside the park; check park admission and operating guidance when combining it with Seongsan or Pyoseon.

After Micheongul Cave, consider Seongeup Folk Village or Kim Young Gap Gallery Dumoak. Rather than fitting them all into one visit, choose one to start with according to your direction of travel and your companions' energy, and check the actual transport connections.
