Who knows where I can find a skating rink either in/around Seoul, or south of it (like Suwon, Osan, Pyeongtaek, etc)?

I know that Lotte world has one but I would like to go somewhere different.
Appreciated...

On a related note, when is the outdoor rink at Gwanghwamun square opening this year?

[vlhuynh]

Ooo. Is there free public skating in Korea?

[furtakk]

Do they rent out larger sized skates? (260/265)

[PEIGUY]

Hyatt in Itaewon will be opening up their rink soon, 16,000 for skate rental

[Vagabundo]

there's an indoor rink in Gwacheon (just immediately south of Seoul)

fairly nice.

they had skates big enough to fit me (I think it was their largest (or near largest size). I have male 11 sized feet.

now, dont quote me on that.. but i do think i remember having seen an outdoor ice ring by the olympic stadium or was it the olympic park...
at either of these locations theyve had one two winters ago.
i also remember that they had the venue for this set up at the horse racing ring at the line number 4. it wasnt very big and i dont know how much they charge for rental/using the ring, but that shouldnt be too hard to find out.

I'm not sure 265 is larger size. Most Korean mens shoes top out at 280 at least

Mokdong and anyang rinks both have public skating. I'm sure Goyang's rink also has it. I've heard the skates are really terrible though.

it should help in regards to season opening, opening times and admission rates.
was trying to find out some information on the gwanghwamoon ring too, but havent found any so far.
