YONGIN, South Korea - Are you a thrill seeker, a lover of different types of food, a fan of music shows, or do you love shopping?
If you said yes to any or all of the above choices, then visiting the Everland Amusement Park may be the place for you.
Everland, Korea’s largest theme park, is located in Yongin, South Korea, just a couple of hours south of Seoul. With South Korea’s robust transportation system, you are bound to find a way to get there. Special shuttle buses at various metro stations go directly to Everland.
So, now that you know how easy it is to get to Everland, let’s explore what the park has to offer.
Before even arriving at the park, a huge roller coaster can be seen. The T Express is the theme park’s largest wooden roller coaster, boasting a high speed of 104km per hour and a 77 degree angle drop. The park’s second roller coaster, the Rolling X-Train, includes two 360 degree loops, resembling twists like a bread stick.
After all of the thrills, chills and screaming, watching a nice show can be a good way to relax for a while.
You can see Korean singer Psy performing his famous "Gangnam Style" hit at the K-Pop Hologram concert hall, where all concerts are free and there are several shows a day.
If you’d rather sit back, relax and let the show come to you, then you can watch the Carnival Fantasy parade that ends at the park’s Carnival Square. This parade is guaranteed to please all ages with its grand floats, fun music, choreographed dancers and characters, bold outfits, and the ability to get the crowd to boogie down.
Nature can be just as entertaining, especially when it involves wild animals.
Lost Valley features the park’s safari adventure, where you can ride a safari bus through the wild and meet 150 unique species along the way. The safari is no regular adventure on a four-wheeled truck, but it is rather a tall amphibian vehicle, with large open windows. It has spare tires along the sides, and it moves through water and over land gracefully. This unique ride features elephants, cheetahs, zebras and other wildlife. You can even meet giraffes that stick their heads in the bus to say hello.
There is no shortage of things to do in Everland. You can visit a beautiful rose garden with fancy water displays; taste the beer, sausage, and other cuisine of Europe in Holland Village. Children can explore the mysterious land of magical fairy tales in Aesop’s Village, while others shop and dine at a great variety of stores and restaurants.
In addition to all the great things the theme park has to offer, there is also Caribbean Bay, a water park located right next to Everland. Caribbean Bay, South Korea’s largest water park, is open year-round, featuring indoor and outdoor attractions.
