Gyeonggi Province is filled with destinations perfect for a quick day trip, and during the winter, these spots become even more magical. Among them, the Sandeulsori Arboretum in Namyangju City stands out as a must-visit winter getaway filled with fun activities and beautiful sights.

From photo zones and a bakery to animal feeding, foot bath experiences, scenic walks, and even a lantern festival, there’s something for everyone here!

The first stop upon entering the arboretum is its bakery, which also serves as the main entrance. Beyond baked goods and coffee, the bakery offers a range of meals, including pasta, as well as treats like carrots and marshmallows for feeding the animals or roasting over a cozy fire.

We recommend stocking up on everything you need here before exploring the rest of the arboretum.

Sandeulsori Arboretum lets you roast marshmallows or other snacks over an open fire. It’s a nostalgic experience for adults and a fun activity for kids, adding warmth and joy to a winter outing.

One of the highlights for families is the chance to feed animals like goats and rabbits. Carrots for feeding the animals can be purchased at the bakery for KRW 2,000.

This activity offers a great opportunity for kids to connect with animals while learning about them. Don’t forget to follow the feeding guidelines provided for a safe and enjoyable experience!

Unwind and recharge with a soothing foot bath at the Healing Café. Overlooking the arboretum’s serene landscape, this 30-minute experience is a perfect way to relax after a long walk. The foot bath costs KRW 10,000 per person and is well worth the indulgence.

Through May 1, 2025, the arboretum is hosting a special Night Lantern Festival. During the day, you can enjoy the walking paths and activities, and at night, the arboretum transforms into a magical wonderland lit by colorful lanterns. Stroll along the illuminated trails and capture stunning photos in the glow of the lights.
