The academy is held at Ansan Lake Park and the Ansancheon Estuary Pier. At Ansan Lake Park, pedal boat and donut boat experiences are offered, while marine safety education is conducted at the Ansancheon Estuary Pier.

The pedal boat and donut boat experiences are available on-site on a first-come, first-served basis from Thursday to Sunday every week.
