The 2025 Adult Nature Exploration program will begin with bird exploration in March and conduct a total of 10 nature experience activities with experts in various fields, including wildflowers, mudflats, insects, fish, and caves. In July and September, one additional experience activity each will be held to explore urban natural ecosystems, unique ecosystems formed by interactions between artificial environments created by humans and various living organisms inhabiting them.

Kwon Seok-min, director of the National Science Museum, said, "Through the adult nature experience program, we hope it will be an opportunity to cultivate knowledge about nature and experience the importance of nature conservation through broad understanding and empathy for the changing nature and ecosystems due to the climate crisis."

Those who wish to participate in the 2025 Adult Nature Exploration program can apply for participation (participation fee around 20,000 KRW) through the education reservation on the National Science Museum website, and detailed information can be found on the National Science Museum website.
