Yeosu World Island Fair 2026: What My Two Daughters Tried

October 2026 · Yeosu, South Korea

My two daughters and I came to Yeosu by KTX. The World Island Fair was our first stop. It ran from September 5 through November 4, 2026 and has ended. The shuttle and activities here are what we experienced in October.

The fairground was a shuttle ride away

We took the event shuttle from Yeosu Expo Station to the main venue in Dolsan’s Jinmo district. That saved us working out a city bus with two kids and our bags. If you’re planning a trip now, use the station as an arrival point and check current transport for whichever Yeosu sights you choose.

We followed the things they could touch

We started around the big main pavilion and let the girls decide where to linger. They spoke to the AI guide, stopped to watch live seahorses and spent time with the digital displays. A few hands-on stops kept their attention longer than trying to visit every building.

The drone session was our last stop

At the drone activity that day, the kids first had to answer at least seven of ten true-or-false questions. Then they tried the controls. Half a day gave us time to do the activities without rushing. That’s still how I’d plan a large exhibition with children: leave time for the bits they want to do twice.
