Overview
The 2026 Jinju International Agro-Food Expo Agricultural Experience Hall is an expo featuring 16 agricultural experience programs ranging from crafting to gardening, operated in Agricultural Experience Hall 1; a variety of experience programs for enjoying fragrance, crafts, and gardening, operated in Agricultural Experience Hall 2; and livestock and dairy experience booths offering everything from games to food for the whole family to enjoy.
Why go
This expo hall lets visitors try hands-on agricultural experiences, from crafting and gardening to fragrance workshops, spread across two experience halls. Livestock and dairy booths add games and food tastings aimed at families, making it a practical stop for anyone curious about Korean farm culture rather than just viewing it.
Getting there from Seoul
Jinju is reachable by direct KTX from Seoul (Gyeongbu/Gyeongjeon line, roughly 3-3.5 hours) or by express bus from Seoul Nambu Bus Terminal (around 3.5-4 hours). From Jinju Station or the Jinju bus terminal, take a local taxi or city bus to the venue on Dongjin-ro in Chungmugong-dong.
Tips
- Wear comfortable, washable clothes and closed shoes since the experiences involve crafting, gardening, and farm-style activities.
- Early November in Jinju can be cool, especially outdoors, so bring a light jacket for moving between the two experience halls.
- Arrive earlier in the day if you want to join the more popular craft or gardening sessions, as hands-on booths can fill up.
Best for: families, gardening enthusiasts, craft lovers, foodies.
