Most day trip to this place were only available for booking from Jan 2019 but we were lucky to find one (Trazy) that was opened for booking in Dec. For people who are adamant to join this activity, visiting in Jan would be a better bet. It took about 3 hours from Seoul. There were 2 sections for ice fishing. One area was for open-fishing while another area came with the ready tents and chairs. We opted for the latter. There were rows and rows of tents in various colours lined up on the frozen river. You could choose your desired tent which would already have 2 holes and chairs. You could change tent as and when you want to. The frozen river was lined with some net to avoid falling but it could still be rather slippery. We brought along crampons and hence it came into handy, and we could walked around the frozen river with ease. There were shops thatwere selling various things required for activities such as fishing, sledding, etc. You could get almost everything you need from there. There were rules such as regardless of how fishes you might catch, you could only bring out max of 2 fishes only. We saw people who managed to catch the fishes but I could only tell you it was not an easy task. We came out empty handed!! But the experience was still fun and worth it! You could choose to pay for the fish to be cleaned and grilled for consumption if you catch one in one restuarant. We caught none but we could still visit another restuarant to taste one. We ordered a grilled trout and it was absolutely tasty!! Many patrons were enjoying sashimi in the restuarant too. We didn't have time to try other activities such as sledding (I think you need to bring your own sled or buy one from the shop), ice cycling, etc. Everyone definitely should try this experience once in your lifetime. :))))

It's a great water park. I thought it was going to be very cold during winter. I was wrong. The park was warm and the water was just nice. There's a lot of things to play inside. Slides, tubes and a fake wave pool too. Very clean. There's personnels around the area to assist you after you slide down into the pool. It's just beside the Alpensia Pyeongchang Ski resort. Walking distance to the ski area and Holiday Inn Hotel. There's place for lockers, showers and a shop selling swimwear & gears if you've forgotten to bring yours. My kids enjoyed it so much. Mind you it's during winter some more. Just awesome!
