Located within Kyung Hee University's International Campus, Kyung Hee Observatory was established in 1992 and is used as a research facility. It is equipped with facilities such as an audiovisual room, a planetarium, a main observation room (circular dome), and an outdoor observation area, and holds cutting-edge astronomical observation facilities including a 30-inch large telescope system, a mount for artificial satellite observation, and small-aperture astronomical telescopes. It takes about 8 minutes by car from Cheongmyeong IC and about 5 minutes from Yeongtong (Kyung Hee Univ.) Station on the Suin-Bundang Line, and there is a bus that comes directly from the station. Nearby are Everland, the Korean Folk Village, the World Cultural Heritage sites Suwon Hwaseong Fortress and Yunggeolleung Royal Tombs, Giheung Lake Park, Deokpyeong Dinosaur Arboretum, Byeolbit Jeongwon Uju, and Hantaek Botanical Garden.
