About Water Parks in South Korea
Water parks can be found across South Korea in many different sizes. Some parks are small local spots while others are huge commercial experiences. It doesn’t matter where you are, you can likely find an indoor water park nearby. Such water parks have not been extensively covered on English-focused blogs so you may not find a great deal of information about them.
Numerous water parks in South Korea operate year-round. This means that you can go have some warm summer fun in January! You don’t have to wait until summer for plenty of water-related fun.
What To Wear to a Korean Indoor Water Park
Water parks in South Korea require that you wear a cap and swimming goggles. We recommend the use of a swimming cap, but some water parks may allow you to wear a baseball cap instead. All water parks have a small shop where you can purchase such items if you did not bring such items with you. These shops also often sell swimming great and other items
Those attending water parks usually wear full-coverage swimming shirts and shorts that are comfortable for active play. You may see fewer minimum coverage suites that you might find in the west. Some water parks may even require full coverage suites for different rides. However, this changes year-to-year with many young people choosing more western-style swimming attire.
