Taereung International Ice Rink Opens Today, Welcoming General Public

The Korean Sport & Olympic Committee announced that the Taereung International Ice Rink, home to the country's only 400-meter indoor standard track, opens today (October 12) to resume national team training and facility operations for the general public.

The Taereung International Ice Rink has long served as a training hub for elite athletes, including national team members, making it a symbolic ice sports facility intertwined with the history of South Korean winter sports.

It has also served as a space where elite and amateur sports coexist by being constantly open to the general public and sports enthusiasts.

Operating hours are from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily, and admission tickets can be purchased through on-site unattended ticketing kiosks.

Admission fees are 4,000 won for adults, 3,500 won for youths, and 3,000 won for children (skate rental fees are separate), and the parking lot is open free of charge.

Ahead of the reopening, the committee upgraded user convenience by renovating the locker rooms and sound systems.

Visitors can also view the Korea Sports Museum on the second floor on weekdays, and a special exhibition highlighting the development process of winter sports will be held in the first-floor lobby starting October 23.
