Two separate access questions
The National Science Museum in Daejeon is not best understood as one ticket granting identical access to every experience. Its current visitor page separates paid facilities from free ones and notes that some free halls may still require reservations or tickets. Cost and booking are separate questions.
The operator lists Science Alive Discovery Center, KkumAty Hall and the Planetarium as paid facilities requiring advance reservation and ticket issuance. It lists free facilities including the Science & Technology Hall, Natural History Hall and outdoor exhibits. That distinction is more useful than the isolated word free on a travel summary.
Pick a subject before a time slot
SEOULIAN suggests choosing the experience first, then checking its access route. A visit focused on natural history is not automatically the same booking exercise as a planetarium session. Write down the exact hall name so that a reservation page or staff member can answer the right question.
The tourism organization independently describes the museum’s range of scientific displays and its address at 481 Daedeok-daero in Yuseong-gu. That broad description helps establish what kind of institution this is; the operator’s hall-specific rules are the appropriate place to resolve the mechanics of a visit.
Use current rules, not a composite schedule
Travel listings and operators can carry different versions of a timetable. This guide deliberately does not combine their hours into a new schedule. Use the museum’s current visitor page and notices for your selected day, including holiday closures and any changes to reservation arrangements.
Check whether a booking interface requires information or language support you can supply before making the trip depend on a particular session. Do not assume that a free listing guarantees an available place. Planning around one well-understood hall, with another as an optional addition, is a clearer approach than expecting every building and program to operate on the same terms.

SEOULIAN editorial reading: Separating hall admission from reservation requirements. This is a practical interpretive angle, not a popularity claim.
