Parenting Tips for Wales Fantasium
- A giant whale freely glides through the sky, passing by representative places of Ulsan such as the Taehwa River and Ganjeolgot.
- Since there are no bean bags, you can sit on the floor or stand while watching.
- The second-floor observatory is connected to the cafe, and even if you do not use the cafe, you can use only the observatory. From the observatory, you can enjoy a great Ulsan Bridge view.
- Watching the Whale City video takes about 8 to 10 minutes. Since it is a stereoscopic screen, it may cause slight dizziness.
- Because it is interactive media art, recognition takes about 10 to 20 seconds, so it feels a bit slow.
- You need to walk about 5 minutes from the entrance of Jangsaengpo Whale Culture Village and go up a hill road, so comfortable shoes are recommended.
- Whale Culture Village is fairly large, so if you tour the village first and then visit Wales Fantasium, it may feel tiring. We recommend that you visit Wales Fantasium first, then take the monorail to tour the culture village more comfortably.
- For parking, use the Jangsaengpo Whale Culture Village parking lot for free.
