Parenting Tips for Paju Imjingak Peace Gondola
- As you look down at the Imjingang River from the gondola, you can see the Hill of Wind, where thousands of pinwheels at Imjingak spin.
- The Imjingak Peace Gondola was the first gondola in Korea to connect to the Civilian Control Zone.
- It runs along an 850 m route from the Imjingang Tourist Area to Camp Greaves.
- There are regular cabins and crystal cabins. Regular cabins have solid floors and feel stable, but if you want more scenery and thrills, we recommend a crystal cabin.
- Boarding the cable car takes you directly into the Civilian Control Zone, so you must complete a security pledge and bring an ID. A mobile ID is also accepted, and only one person in your group needs to present an ID.
- The gondola ride takes about 5 minutes each way.
- Once you get off the gondola, there are places to explore, including the Imjingang Peace Observatory and Gallery Greaves.
- Gallery Greaves has various works depicting the horrors of war and exhibits about people connected to the 6.25 War (Korean War), making it a good place to learn about history with your kids.
- In summer, you can borrow ice packs and umbrellas to make your visit more comfortable in the heat.
- Ticket sales end 30 minutes before closing.
- On the second floor of the boarding building, there is a baby care room with a nursing room and diaper-changing table.
- The gondola does not operate on scheduled safety inspection days, so we recommend checking before you visit.
- It can get crowded on weekends or during peak season, so we recommend booking in advance.
- There are places to explore on foot after your gondola ride, so wear comfortable shoes.
- Visit when the weather is clear to enjoy even better views.
- There are other sights nearby, including Imjingak Pyeonghwanuri Park and the Bridge of Freedom. It gets windy at Pyeonghwanuri Park, making it a great place for kids to run around while flying kites and pinwheels.
- For parking, you can use both Imjingak Park and the parking lot. The parking lot is spacious but can get crowded on weekends.
- Parking costs 1,000 won for compact cars, 2,000 won for small cars, and 3,000 won for midsize cars; large vehicles cost 5,000 won.
