According to my students, Caribbean Bay is better than Ocean World for meeting members of the opposite sex, a.k.a. 헌팅 (I teach university).

There is a Youth Hostel next to Ocean World, high rise condominiums behind the car park and various pensions along the road up there. ( It is a ski resort during winter so plenty of accomodation)

Caribbean Bay is older but still ok. Indoor area much better than Ocean World. Mandatory swim caps.

Ocean World has good rides, wave pool etc. Food and seating areas better than CB. Mandatory life jackets!!

OW has better prices, maybe 'cos further away from Seoul. Foreigner discounts ( take ARC), (50,000w down to 30,000w, also got free life jacket rental -save another 5,000w)
Dedicated Shuttle buses are available to both places.

For either park, arrive early ( at opening ) or late ~6pm for evening session. Crowds are mental at this time during most of the day. 1-2 hr waiting times for rides are normal.

sk.


Do you 100% get a foreigner discount? I can't see anything on the website about this. Also, would this also include foreigner visitors to Korea who do not own an ARC? I'm looking to go with my visitors, but 60,000 each is just too expensive (esp as it is forecast rain!)

Thank you for your help!

My wife went with her friend on Friday to Ocean World and, even though it rained, apparently it was completely packed ("Like ants" they said). Three hour waits for the most popular rides, shoulder to shoulder in the wave pool etc.

I'd say your students are right.

Ocean World looks good though, too.

A new place opened up in Goyang...I can't remember the name though. One Mount I think.
