Chuncheon Puppet Theater 춘천인형극장
Chuncheon · Soyanggang River & Geunhwa-dong · Fun & activities
Korea has few theaters built specifically for puppet shows, and this one in the northern part of the city stages productions aimed mostly at children, with a lobby, a small exhibition and sometimes hands-on activities. Shows tend to be short and visual, so even without Korean, young children can follow along, though dialogue-heavy pieces will be hard for foreign visitors. Performance days are limited and vary with the season, so check the schedule, and book if your trip depends on a specific time.
On days with no performance, there is little to see. Expect it to be busiest on weekend afternoons and during school holidays.
A city bus from Chuncheon Station takes about 20 minutes; get off near Sanong-dong on Yeongseo-ro. The theater has parking in front. (Show a driver: 춘천인형극장)
