1. Everland Basics & Zones
Everland, located in Yongin just outside Seoul, is South Korea’s largest theme park. It is divided into five themed zones: Global Fair, European Adventure, Magic Land, American Adventure, and Zootopia. Each zone offers its own attractions, from high-speed rides to family-friendly entertainment and immersive animal encounters.
2. Getting There & Practical Tips
Everland is about an hour from Seoul and is accessible by shuttle buses, subway connections, and express buses such as 5002A from Gangnam Station. The park’s address is 199 Everland-ro, Pogok-eup, Cheoin-gu, Yongin. Ticket prices in 2025 are around ₩62,000 for adults and ₩50,000 for children, with discounts available online. Download the Everland App to access Smart Queue reservations, check ride wait times, and navigate seasonal schedules.
3. Top Attractions & Seasonal Highlights
Must-see attractions include the T-Express wooden roller coaster, Panda World, Lost Valley safari, and seasonal festivals such as the Spring Tulip Festival, Halloween nights, and Winter illumination. Caribbean Bay, the connected water park, is a must in summer. Each season brings unique shows, parades, and floral displays that make Everland a year-round destination.
4. Itinerary Ideas & Smart Planning
Families should head to Zootopia early to enjoy Safari World and Lost Valley, then move to Magic Land for kid-friendly rides. Thrill-seekers should prioritize T-Express and other major rides, using Smart Queue to minimize wait times. For photo lovers, plan around sunset and evening parades to capture the park’s illuminated beauty. No matter your style, wear comfortable shoes and plan breaks, as Everland is expansive and full of walking.
5. Dr. Beau's Note
Everland is not just a theme park, it’s a seasonal journey through Korea’s imagination. For foreign visitors, I recommend planning one full day and using the Everland App to make the most of rides and shows. If you have sensitive skin, pack sunscreen and stay hydrated while exploring outdoors.
