Onemount Snow park is an indoor winter theme park, the very first of its kind to ben seen in Korea. A variety of entertainment programs are organized on snow and ice. The snow park features a Santa Village with a North European concept, unique sledding like dog sleds, an ice lake with exciting and fun activities like ice bowling, ice road with seven themed caves and thrilling, fantastic rides, and a snow hill where visitors can enjoy snow sledding under the snow that falls year round. This is the world’s first theme park where visitors can watch aurora and ice shows at the Fairy Tale Village which is made of ice.30

In particular the Artic sled dogs should catch your interest. Arctic sled dogs are right at home in this environment. Sled dogs draw sleds only three times a day. When they’re not rollicking in Snow Park, they rest and eat highly nutritious fresh chicken breast and drumsticks for breakfast and dinner. So you want to ride the dog sled, but you’re concerned that you may be too heavy for sled dogs? No need to worry about it! Each dog sled is super strong and can draw up to 400Kg roughly. The Snow Park never forces sled dogs to draw sleds. There is only the bond between the sled dogs’ desire to run and the Mushers.l_2014120701000446800026626

As for ticket prices: All day tickets are 25,000KRW on the weekday and 30,000KRW on the weekend. With admission possible from 10am. And for the case of Afternoon tickets, It is 13,000KRW on the weekdays and 15,000KRW on the weekends. With admission ok from 2pm. Pretty decent if you ask me.
