Sokcho City Museum is a local history museum that covers the origins and daily life of Sokcho and the history of Goguryeo and Balhae. It includes a Balhae history hall, folk game performances, and children's activities. Allow about two hours for a visit, and the observation deck on the fifth floor offers a 360-degree view that takes in Ulsanbawi at Seoraksan. The exhibits are old and the collection of artifacts is not large.
