Overview

Pocheon Herb Island is a large-scale botanical theme park focused on Mediterranean-themed herb gardens and indoor greenhouse displays. The grounds feature a recreation of a 1970s and 80s Korean street scene, including an old-fashioned bakery, schoolhouse, and general store. Visitors can explore the Santa Village, which houses a year-round collection of Santa Claus figurines and seasonal illumination displays. The park includes an indoor Herb Museum and multiple greenhouses showcasing over 200 species of herbs. On-site facilities provide herb-infused dining options, a tea house, and a retail shop selling essential oils and herbal cosmetics. It serves as an educational space for learning about herb cultivation and traditional uses. The terrain is hilly and features several walking trails that connect different thematic zones. The location is situated in the rural outskirts of Pocheon, distinct from the urban center of Dongducheon.
