Everland has a small zoo setup, arranged into different sections.
Small animals, Monkey Valley, Safari, and a few other areas.

Not worth going to see by itself, but ok to wander through when you are tired of the roller coaster lineups...

i came to Korea on winter. According to the people here, the activities on winter are not as much in summer. i did go to their safari world and manage to see the "liger" (lion mix with tiger) but the animals in the safari still not many if compare to summer.In everland, you also manage to watch they present the tradisional dance.

When I visited this amusement park, near Seoul, it was called the Yong-in Farmland. Everland probably is a better name, at least for any Western visitors. At that time, it was expanding, and by now it has far more to offer. Among the newer attractions are an art museum, motor speedway, and a lot more kids' activities.

It's a big theme park which include zoo and botanical garden. There are organise different festival as per season. I was there during Winter, there is a huge winter decoration on the entrance. Big 5 ticket is 17,000 W for adult and 10,000 W for kids. Big 5 include 5 rides in the park

Tulip Festival (April-May), Rose Festival (June),
Midsummer Night Festival (July-August),
Chrysanthemum Festival and Autumnal Tint Festival (September-October),
Snow Plaza (Nov.-Mar.)

I am no sucker for theme parks but a thrill seeker. So when someone told me that the scariest rides were in Everland, Yongin, I gamely hop on a bus and travelled 40 min to pay good money to scare myself.
I wasn't disappointed. I lost count the number of times my stomach lurched at those rides. My favourite was of course the 360 degree ride that turned around and around while suspended in mid-air. The viking came a close second.

For more details on how to get there, click on the website.

Everland is one of the theme park in Korea.

Coming here will make you feel as if you really are in the Caribbean.

There are shipwrecks, private caves, old temple ruins and tropical trees. You will feel as if you have discovered a mystical island.
