Everland Halloween 2025: From Pumpkin Gardens to Blood City Nights
Korea’s largest theme park turns spooky and spectacular each fall. Everland’s 2025 Halloween Festival brings pumpkin magic by day and thrilling horror by night — a perfect mix of fun, fantasy, and fright.
Event Overview & Dates
From early September through mid-November, Everland in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province, becomes Korea’s most festive Halloween destination. The 2025 theme, “Happy Horror Nights”, brings an all-day transformation — colorful gardens and pumpkin décor by day, spine-chilling Blood City thrills by night.
Event Dates: September 6 – November 3, 2025
Location: Everland Theme Park, Yongin, South Korea
Admission: ₩62,000 (adults) / Discounts available online
Highlights: Happy Halloween Garden · Horror Village · Blood City 9
Daytime Fun: Pumpkin Gardens & Parades
Everland’s daylight Halloween is family-friendly and full of color. The Halloween Garden is lined with giant pumpkins, scarecrows, and ghost-shaped flower beds — perfect for photo ops. The Happy Halloween Parade marches twice daily (around 11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.), featuring costumed dancers, floats, and mascots performing upbeat music under the autumn sun.
Nighttime Thrills: Blood City Returns
When the sun sets, Everland’s Blood City 9 awakens. The park glows red under eerie lights as zombies and ghouls roam through fog-filled streets. The Horror Maze 3.0 offers an AI-powered, interactive storyline where visitors must “escape” through customized routes — a highlight for thrill-seekers. K-pop DJs and live horror shows keep the adrenaline high all night.
Food, Souvenirs & Must-Buys
Halloween treats are a must! Try Pumpkin Churros, Blood Latte (a sweet raspberry drink), and the Zombie Burger. Don’t miss the limited-edition Halloween Macaron Gift Box or the exclusive pumpkin mugs and glowing headbands sold only during the festival. Everything in orange, purple, and black makes for a perfect souvenir photo moment.
Halloween Makeup & K-Beauty Looks
Korean Halloween fashion is less “scary” and more “stylishly spooky.” This year’s trending looks include Ethereal Vampire (dewy skin and gradient lips), Pumpkin Fairy (orange shimmer and glitter cheeks), and Cyber Witch (holographic eyeliner and metallic lips). These aesthetics align perfectly with K-beauty’s love for soft glam and luminous skin.
Getting There & Travel Tips
From Seoul: • Take the Subway Line 2 to Gangnam Station → Transfer to Bus 5002 (approx. 45 min). • Or take the EverLine light rail from Giheung Station to Everland Station, then the free shuttle to the gate.
Travel Tips: • Buy tickets online for up to 20% off. • Visit on weekdays to avoid crowds. • The After 5 PM Ticket is perfect if you only want to see Blood City and the light shows. • Note: The horror attractions may not be suitable for children under 13.
Dr. Beau’s Note
Everland’s Halloween shows how Korea redefines “fear” with beauty and creativity. From glowing lights to glossy makeup, it’s less about being scared — and more about celebrating imagination. Don’t just watch the parade — feel the rhythm, taste the pumpkin, and live the night.
