Herb Island opened in October 1998 as a tourist farm and is registered as a botanical museum, growing around 250 kinds of herbs in four indoor halls and outdoor gardens. Beyond the plants, you can taste herb tea, make herb soap or go horse riding. It's open until 21:00 most days (22:00 on Saturdays), and one Klook day tour from Seoul is built around its illuminated night festival.
