Ara Children's Forest Experience Center

Parenting Tips for Ara Children's Forest Experience Center

• This is Incheon Seo-gu Office's registered No. 1 Children's Forest Experience Center. With entry by outsiders restricted, only the booked group can enjoy the natural setting of more than 10,000 pyeong on its own.
• Kids can take part in forest activities ranging from sand play to playing with natural materials and observing plants and animals, with a new theme twice a month.
• Please announce the monthly forest activity themes and activity schedule on Instagram.
• A forest guide leads the children safely during the activities.
• Forest activities can get clothes dirty, so we recommend dressing your child in clothes that can get dirty or easy-to-wash clothes.
• Have your child wear sturdy, safe sneakers or, if it rains, rain boots.
• If rain is forecast, children can still take part in the forest activities wearing raincoats.
• It's a good idea to pack drinking water or another drink for your child in a small bottle.
• While the children enjoy the forest activities, there's a place to relax for guardians.
• If you arrive a little early, your child can enjoy sand play and spend time with the animal friends that live at the center.
• The minimum group size is 3 people and the maximum is 15 people; registration may close early when places fill up.
• If cancellations leave too few participants, the class may be canceled. If that happens, you'll be notified individually in advance and the class fee will be refunded.
• Children 48 months and older can participate. Younger children can also apply if they can be apart from their parents.
• On the last weekend of every month, there is a parent-participation class for younger children or those who find classes without their parents difficult.
• There's also a regular class where children can enjoy forest play on a regular basis with the same group of friends once or twice a month.
• 30 minutes before class, the area is thoroughly treated with pest-control equipment for mosquitoes, so you don't need to worry about mosquitoes or other pests.
