Indoor Water Parks Near Pyeongtaek for Winter 

What to Wear at a Korean Indoor Water Park

The first big surprise for many people at Korean pools or water parks is what you need to bring to wear:

• Swim caps/Baseball Caps and goggles: Head covering and eye protection are often mandatory. Some parks may allow baseball caps instead of swim caps and some paks don't require goggles. However, we recommend having both on hand just in case. Don't fret if you don't have the items yourself, parks generally have a shop where you can buy caps and goggles. 

• Full-coverage swimwear: Some facilities may require rashguards over swimsuits. Even if some facilities don't need swim shirts, most attendees will use them. Bikinis or board shorts are less common and may not be allowed on certain rides due to safety. If you don't have rashguards, you can often purchase them year-round on Coupang.

Discounts for Local Residents

Some water parks and pools in South Korea offer discounts for those who live in the same administrative district. To qualify, you’ll need to show proof of residence. Across Korea, proof of residence means presenting a Korean Foreign Registration Card (FRC). This proves you are a legal resident and verifies your address. US Military IDs may not be accepted as proof of residence. Be sure to check the specific requirements at each location and have your FRC ready if you’re hoping to save on entry fees.

Water Parks and Exposed Tattoos

Some new international residents have read older articles and worry that they can’t go to water parks if they have tattoos. As culture continues to change and many young people now have tattoos, rules also change. Some places may allow all types of tattoos, others may allow tattoos under a certain size, and others may simply require you to cover the tattoos. 

You can also double-check tattoo policies by using 1330. You may be asked to share a photo of your tattoos when they check on the policy. If you do need to cover your tattoos here are two common options:

• Cover with rash guards or swim shirts: Full-coverage swimwear is widely accepted and often required.

• Use waterproof tattoo covers: These can be purchased online or at some local stores.
