Did you know Daegu has just as much to do in the cold months as it does in the summer? One of my favorite spots is by the river is Shincheon Ice Rink. Take the Yellow Line 3 on the monorail to Daebonggyo right by Debec Mall. This awesome rink opens December 9th until January 28th from 10am daily until 8pm on weekdays and 9pm on the weekend.
The rink is technically FREE if you have skates. If not, you only pay 1,000KRW for an hour sled or skate rental and 3,000KRW for all day. They do take credit card as well. This is such an awesome deal, right?
As soon as you walk inside, you will see the cafe to the right and a sitting area to the left. There are photo spots as well that are holiday themed!
There are breaks in the day where the staff cleans the ice. Make sure to plan accordingly upon arrival. The great news is you can sit in the super cozy area and enjoy the cafe treats while you wait.
Once you are geared up, go out on the ice and have a blast! Even if it's for an hour or all day, you are going to have so much fun. The view on the river, the joy of feeling like a kid again is all worth a day on Shincheon Ice Rink. ENJOY!!!
