Uiamho Lake & Samaksan

Getting here

From Seoul by train

Take the ITX-Cheongchun from Yongsan or Cheongnyangni to Chuncheon Station: LEGOLAND's pages put the ride from Yongsan at about 1 hour 13 to 15 minutes. The Gyeongchun Line also ends at Chuncheon Station, about 1 hour 25 minutes from Sangbong by VisitKorea's 2019 figure. From Exit 1, LEGOLAND's free shuttle runs to the park entrance every hour.

From Seoul by bus

LEGOLAND's FAQ gives about 1 hour 30 minutes by express bus from Seoul Express Bus Terminal to Chuncheon Express Bus Terminal, then a bus to Chuncheon Station for the free shuttle from Exit 1.

From Seoul by car

LEGOLAND's FAQ places the park within a two-hour drive of the Greater Seoul area. Take the Gyeongchun Expressway (Seoul–Yangyang Expressway) and leave at Chuncheon IC or Gangchon IC; a free shuttle runs from the car park to the main entrance every 15 minutes.

From Chuncheon Station

LEGOLAND's shuttle leaves Exit 1 every hour. On days the park opens 10:00–17:00, it runs from the station 09:30–16:30 and back 10:00–18:00; on 10:00–18:00 days, 09:30–17:30 and back 10:00–19:00. For the Uiamho Lake Skywalk, VisitKorea's 2016 Korean guide gives about 13 minutes by taxi.

From Incheon Airport

VisitKorea's airport guide lists express buses from Incheon Airport to Gangwon State, and the AREX runs from the airport to Seoul Station. By rail, ride the AREX to Seoul Station, cross the city to Yongsan or Cheongnyangni, take the ITX-Cheongchun to Chuncheon Station, and finish on LEGOLAND's shuttle from Exit 1.
