The fairy tale world or the Everland amusement park

What do you know about Samsung? Most of the readers are likely to think about electronic and household appliances: smartphones, televisions, etc. Do you know that Samsung is the owner and founder of the largest amusement park in South Korea?

Everland Park was built in 1976 in Yongin City (a suburb of Seoul). The center of Seoul and Everland Park are 50 kilometers apart and 1-1.5 hours by bus. From Seoul there are several routes of city buses, right up to the park.

Everland Park is one of the two parks of the large Everland resort. The second park, or rather the aquatic park Caribbean Bay - is located next to the amusement park. Here as in a fairy tale, on the left you will go - in a park of attractions you will get, and on the right you will go - you will get to a water park. A choice to make will help the cashier, in which you can decide which ticket to buy and where to go.

Once we started talking about tickets, then let's talk about prices. A typical adult ticket for 1 day costs 54,000 Korean won, that's about 54 US dollars. The same ticket for teenagers costs 46,000 (46 dollars), and for children - 43,000 (43 dollars).

*** Note: *** * Children in Korea include children aged 3 to 12 years, and to the category of adolescents - from 13 to 18 years. And age is considered by Korean standards, i.e. for a year more than in the West. Here a person grows up on January 1 by the lunar calendar. *

In addition to one-day tickets, there are also evening tickets, according to which you can enter the park after 17 hours. Such tickets are cheaper than ordinary tickets for about $ 9.

Everland Park is very large, so you can walk for 2 days. For such visitors, 2 days worth of tickets were designed, the cost of which is $ 25-30 more than the cost of ordinary one-day tickets.

Sometimes the company holds promotions and a ticket to both parks can be bought at a discount. Also, there are discounts for payment by certain bank cards, discounts for pensioners and civil servants, for students and schoolchildren. In general, before going to the park, it is advisable to view the shares of the park on the site of the park, which are being held at the moment.

So, the ticket was bought and it's time to hurry, the park is big and there are always a lot of people here, you can not have time to see the whole park and ride all the attractions.

Everland Park visits more than 7 million people a year.

Entering the gates of the park, we find ourselves on the alley of the Global Fair, on both sides of which there are many shops and counters. So, lovers poshoppytsya here, too, do not get bored. In addition, there are many cafes and restaurants on this avenue.

The park itself is divided into 5 zones: Global Fair, Zoo-topia Zoo, Adventures in Europe, Magic Earth and American adventures.

Map of park

The zoo in Everland Park is not that big. Its highlight is a safari. On the bus with a guide you can ride past the Valerians with animals and see how they live. Here live tigers, lions, bears, primates, penguins, sea lions ...

In the zone of "Adventures in Europe" all the buildings and attractions were built in European style. There are many cafes with European cuisine here. A favorite attraction in this area is the roller coaster T-Exprexx. I had enough to look at them from the side. Although the queue for this attraction is always rather big. Sometimes you have to wait and 2 hours to sit on this fateful train.

In addition to all this, the park often hosts various interesting events. For example, now the park hosts a festival of roses. This is a beautiful garden. Every Saturday and Sunday a free tour of the rose garden is held in the park. During the tour, the guide tells not only about the festival and the park, but also about the roses themselves.

Getting to the Magical land, we get into a fairy tale, where there are mythical creatures around. And then there is a Ferris wheel, climbing to which you can see the whole park Everland.

In the Adventure Zone in America, the park introduces visitors to the history of America. Here there are one more roller coaster. True, they are slightly smaller than T-express, but from this they do not become less popular.

Every evening in the park there is a parade and a salute. Who was in the Paris Disney Land, is unlikely to be surprised by anything.

If you are in Seoul and want to spend time with your family, then Everland Park can be an excellent choice.
