Anyone know of any ice rinks offering public skating, other than Lotte World, in the Seoul or Bundang areas?

I know that temporary rinks are set up at the Grand Hyatt, City Hall and Gwanghwamun Plaza but those aren't until mid-Dec.

You'll have to get someone(or yourself) to call and check on times, etc. Be aware that some of the places host events, and the day you decide to go without checking first will likely be the day that once-a-year event happens.

In Pyeongchon we have a rink that rents out skates and has open skating times. In addition, Gwacheon Government Complex (Also blue line) has a rink. It's the one where Kim Yu-Na used to train.

Olympic Park has a nice outdoor one. Christmas music playing all the time and it only costs 1,000 won for skate rentals and an hour and a half of skate time.

Mongchongtoseong station (line 8 ), exit 1.

Mokdong has one, Line 5 Omokgyo Stn. in Western Seoul go out exit 2 or 3 and you'll see it off in the distance beside a baseball stadium.

In order to get to the ice rink you go north on the main road known as Hogwan-ga. It is about 2km from Hogwan-ga or 1km from Acro Tower(The twin buildings which are the tallest in this area.). The rink is located in the 'sports complex' which is also home to a basketball arena, grass soccer pitch, boxing club, outdoor rock climbing wall, indoor and outdoor swimming pool, etc. The ice rink is also home to the Anyang Halla which is part of the Asia Ice Hocket League. They play games there regularly and it brings out a lot of foreigners to see the team play other teams from China, Korea and Japan.
