Whether looking to attend a concert, roll the dice at the casino, or even a convenient family weekend – chances are you’ve heard of the Inspire Entertainment Resort in Incheon. This newly constructed facility offers immersive digital experiences in their Aurora Hall, a 15,000-seat arena, varied shopping in the Inspire Mall, a full casino, hotel & more! With so much available, knowing where to begin can be difficult, so we’ve broken down all the info you’ll need into this helpful guide!
1. Getting to Inspire Arena
1) From Incheon Airport
To get to Inspire Entertainment Resort from the airport, there is a free shuttle bus that leaves from both Terminal 1 & 2, and the Cargo Terminal. It picks up near Exit 3 in the Arrival Hall of Terminal 1, and between Exits 4 & 5 at Terminal 2. The shuttle runs approximately every 10-20 minutes, 24 hours a day, and is free.
2) From Seoul
Getting to Inspire from Seoul can be a bit tricky, given its somewhat isolated location. Here are a couple of ways to consider for your next trip.
Subway: Taking the subway to Inspire will likely require a few transfers and take about 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on your exact location. Essentially, you should follow Naver or Kakao map directions as if you’re heading to Incheon airport, before taking their shuttle or a public bus connection to the resort area.
Bus: Similar to the subway, you can take an Airport Limousine or bus route as you would to get to ICN normally, before hopping on their free shuttle. Additionally, for large events held at the arena, they will often offer shuttles to major districts. This route may be faster for more remote locations, but also may require an additional fee.
Taxi: Taking a taxi directly to the resort is often the most convenient option, but it comes at a price. The journey is typically around 1 to 1.5 hours and will run you approximately 50,000 – 80,000 KRW.
Car: Inspire does offer ample parking for guests and regular visitors alike, however, be prepared to pay toll fees on the way in from Seoul.
