The National Shinak Museum with family, located near Bukyangyang IC in Sokcho, Gangwon-do.The parking lot is spacious and the internal facilities are well-equipped, and it is a place where I have recently gained a lot of interest in rock climbing.You can try various experiential activities for free. Of course, in some places you have to make an online reservation, but it was nice that you could also make an on-site reservation.There are more experiential activities for children than for adults, and I got to see a variety of antique mountain climbing equipment, such as an authentic old oil stove and pickel.There is also a climbing experience center, but I think it is perfect for children to experience it.I was able to see climbers practicing there as well, including the National Mountaineering School right below.Someday, I want to get started and climb the front wall.Admission is free, and you must make a reservation in advance for the altitude sickness experience, but for the rest, you can just enter and do it right away.

I love the museum because it doesn't offer only exhibitions consists of pictures and artifacts but it also offers experiences such as rock climbing and AVR. The atmosphere inside and outside is really good. It is overlooking Seoraksan Mountain. And it is well organized.
