Dream Forest provides diverse attractions to visitors, together with an abundant amount of natural vegetation. The park accommodates various cultural venues, and its landscaping works are designed in the traditional architectural style of Korea. The Visitor Center’s ground floor features the Design Seoul Gallery. Divided into three sections, the exhibits here describe Seoul’s ambitious environmental development plans.
