The walk to get up there is a little long and steep, but once you get to the top it is worth it. Such a cool and nerve wrecking experience to walk on steps that high in the sky. It was kind of funny to see how scared some people were. It sounded like I was walking on a roller coaster with all the screaming.

Such an awesome experience. Much higher when you get up to the top and you think it is. Definitely spread yourself out if you’re in a group with people so the structure won’t sway as much as you’re walking up and down!!

I visited the Space Walk for the first time last month and it was like the pictures. While I am afraid of height, I was still able to do everything and the view was too beautiful to not try !I also went to the space cafe nearby to have a drink because while the weather is better than Seoul, it was still cold to stay outside (Their Space Ade was really good)

1.DO NOT GO if it's RAINING I saw reviews that people went and it was closed so We didn't try.2. Height restriction: Please note that they strictly don't allow kids 110cm and under so please measure if you want to bring your child. I didn't read anything about this so was disappointed that my child could not go and we had to take turns to experience it. It is windy on top, and shaky when people are walking, so I do understand why they do not allow young kids.3. There is a 5-10 mins stairs and nature walk before you reach the space walk.4. No toilets there so go down the hill before walking up. Great view and worth the experience. Free of charge, no limit on time, take your time to enjoy it.5. Do note that during the weekends it might hit the 150 people mark, and then you will have to queue and wait until people get down.6. At the steeper parts, it's safer to keep 2-3 steps distance between people, but that is not regulated, so it felt like they can accidentally fall and cause a Domino effect.Overall I enjoyed the view of Pohang and beach; the wind from above and also walking in nature before arriving at the space walk.Lastly the misconception is that you can go a loop, but actually there is a loop that goes upside down which you cannot climb and it's closed on both sides. Still a nice view and enjoyable if the weather is good.PS. Bring ear plugs if you are sensitive to noise, there was a lady screaming every 2 steps because she was scared of heights. I was afraid she will pee below on my child :p
