The Chronicles of Korea – Everland

Have I ever mentioned before that I looooove theme parks?! Yeah, well, Everland is no exception. I love, love, loved this place. It’s quite different from all the theme parks I’ve ever been to before because of the scenery. And within the park is a mini zoo, cable cars, ski lifts and the largest wooden rollercoaster in Asia! When we visited, they were preparing for the tulip festival that happens during Spring. The place also has Ski Sledding services during winter. It was unfortunate that we came at an awkward time, because the ski sled area was closed already but spring hasn’t started yet. Anyways, even so, I still enjoyed this place.

Everland, the largest theme park in South Korea, is located in Yongin City, in the province of Gyeonggi-do, about an hour to an hour and a half away from Seoul. Early monday morning we made our way to Gangnam Station (subway Line 2), and exited through exit 10.

How to get there:

1.  Express City Bus: BUS 5002

– Make your way to Gangnam Station (subway Line 2), exit through exit 10, turn left and walk for about 300 m until you reach the bus stop in front of Krispy Kreme. There is a separate queue for bus 5002, which is the public bus that goes directly to a bus terminal in Gyeonggi-do and from there you can take the shuttle bus going to Everland.

2.  Express Bus

– There is also an Express Bus from either City Hall or Gangnam round-trip for 12,000 Won, but this requires advance booking much like the express bus to Nami Island. Other info can be found here.
