Gwangmyeong Cave 2026: Hours, Entry Fee, and Why It's Closed on Mondays

The Gwangmyeong Cave page on the city's official site (gm.go.kr) lists hours as 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, last admission 5:00 PM, closed Mondays, open Tuesday through Sunday. The same site's fee notice gives adult admission as 10,000 won for people from outside Gwangmyeong and 5,000 won for Gwangmyeong residents — teen, child, and senior rates weren't on the official page accessed. There are two route options: from Subway Line 7 Cheolsan Station Exit 2, take a bus toward Hayang-dong or Soha-dong from the stop across from the 2001 Outlet, or ride Bus 17 to its last stop at the Cave's parking lot; or take Subway Line 1 to KTX Gwangmyeong Station, exit 8, and take Bus 77. From Sadang Station in Seoul, Bus 8507 from exit 4 reaches KTX Gwangmyeong Station for the same transfer. Because the cave closes at 18:00, there's no real risk of missing a late-night subway home — though this check could not pin down Cheolsan Station's exact last Line 7 departure time. This was confirmed on the gm.go.kr Gwangmyeong Cave visitor-info, admission-fee, and directions pages on 2026-11-02.
