This cave is huge, it has store and playground inside also. The temperature is around 15 degree year-round so it’s best to come here in summer time. If you’re Chungchu citizen then you can get a discount on the ticket as well. They also have kayak for a short distance, not bad to give it a try.

Very well planned place with variety of themes. I could not believe they managed planting and having sharks in the cave.Best experience was the canoe in the cave lake!

This was interesting. Didn’t do a lot of research…came on the recommendation of a friend, who has pre-teen and younger kids. I thought this was mainly a historic site, which it is. However, much of the displays are in Korean only, so it was hard to get the overall significance and history of the mine.That said, once we adjusted expectations, it became easier to understand what they’re going for. Essentially, it’s like a walk through a family park - underground in an old mine. With that understanding, it’s a pleasant afternoon walk with some interesting artistic displays that kids will enjoy as well. The glass bottom kayaks would be fun for kids who haven’t reached the “age of embarrassment” over doing things with their parents.All in all, a nice afternoon out.

I had never been to a cave before, this was definitely worth being my first cave visit. I loved everything that you could see, there are many built in sights, like light animals, glow painted walls, a gift shop and more. However, they also kept many of the mining tools for people to see. Definitely worth giving it a visit. You can even Kayak there, but you will get a little wet, so be prepared and due to being a cave the temperature is cooler than that of outside by about ten degrees.A date place as well given that there is a cafe, that serves drinks and food. It is also fun for the whole family. Inside the cave there is rock painting and an arcade.Take some time and go visit ^^

Great place for a day trip! First thing's first, it's not a cave, but an old mine. Still, lots of stuff to see and randomness not expected to be in an old mine.I had a great time with my friends and there are some food options right outside the entrance. Gave 4 stars because there isn't much to do after the 2-3 hour walk inside the place. The location is pretty far from many other things to do, but I get that they can't help that.I would recommend going on a wine tour about a 45 minute drive north after visiting Jade Cave. It's called Mirasil Wolf.
