Expo Park Escape✨

Music & Magic by the Riverside: Daejeon Expo Science Park & Fountain Show 🎶🌉✨

Begin your evening in Daejeon with a stroll through Expo Science Park, where sleek modern architecture meets tranquil riverside scenery. Watch reeds dance in the breeze as clouds roll across the sky—pure nature-meets-city vibes! Head first to Daejeon Expo Science Park (3-1 Doryong-dong, Yuseong-gu, open 09:30–17:20 year-round). Wander the outdoor areas, snap close-ups of futuristic buildings and bridges, and scout for those wildflowers against the misty skyline for truly moody, insta-worthy shots.

As dusk settles, make your way to the nearby Expo Music Fountain Park (3-1 Doryong-dong). Grab a spot along the riverbank for their signature evening fountain show—multicolored lights flicker on sprays that rise and fall in time with the music, with the bridge forming a dreamy backdrop for photos. If it’s cloudy and rainy (like on my visit!), don’t worry—it adds a dramatic flair to the park’s modern landscape and reflections on the water!

My pro tip: arrive a little before the fountain show starts to claim a good viewing angle, and prep your camera for low-light shots. The show’s best taken in from the bridge itself or from the meadow where the reeds sway—these are your prime photo ops. Wear light waterproof gear if the forecast is unpredictable, but enjoy the atmosphere even in drizzly weather—the fountain lights look magical in the mist.
