To celebrate its 59th County Day on October 8, 2026, Gapyeong County is offering free admission to six major local tourist facilities for all registered residents, according to an announcement by Yonhap News Agency. The one-day event is designed to give local residents an opportunity to explore nearby attractions and spend a special day celebrating the community.
Gapyeong residents get free entry to select tourist spots
Residents holding a valid identification card proving their Gapyeong residency can access six distinct tourist spots across the region. Each facility maintains its own specific entry guidelines and exclusions for the county celebration.
Petit France is offering free admission exclusively for Gapyeong residents, though the adjacent Italy Village is excluded from the promotion. The Garden of Morning Calm is waiving its general admission fees, but the accompanying Morning Calm Family Zoo is not included in the offer. Edelweiss Swiss is also providing free entry, with the caveat that internal experiential events require separate fees. Gapyeong Cruise on the North Han River is participating in the event, but because its operating hours and schedules run on a separate timetable, visitors must contact them in advance. Nami Island requires residents to visit its customer service center between 9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. on the day of the event to receive a complimentary admission ticket.
Special Ticket Offer For Dream Hill Amusement Park
Instead of standard free entry, Dream Hill Amusement Park is providing registered Gapyeong residents with a dedicated ride package. Residents who verify their status will receive a five-ride ticket for the park’s attractions.
County officials urge visitors to check the operating hours and detailed conditions of each specific destination before arrival due to the varying rules across the six locations.
