Enter the cage...

Batting cages in Korea


Had a long week at work? Did the kids seem extra wild this week? Would you swear it was a full moon by how things have been going? Or just plain stressed? Well, you don't really need a good reason to go to the batting cages, but if you've got one that's OK too. Either way it's a cheap, fun way to relieve some stress and hit the crap out of a baseball.

Batting cages are EVERYWHERE in Korea. For a better chance of finding one, try to hit up the less touristy areas, but heavily populated Korean areas. Particularly, areas near a Korean university. The price varies, but it's still pretty affordable. Approximately 500 won will get you about a dozen pitches. There's also gloves to wear to help absorb the shock of the metal bats.

Some of the bigger batting cages have cages with different speeds and cages set up for lefties. Other than that, they are pretty easy to figure out. Whether it's by yourself after work or with a group of friends, the batting cages are one of the cheapest forms of entertainment here in Korea!
