Tips Before Visiting the Everland Theme Park

  • Purchase the tickets in advance as you are more likely to get some deals and discount. You will also be able to avoid the long queues outside the park ticket window.
  • Try to avoid peak periods like summer vacation or weekends and Korean holidays as the park is more crowded and the tickets are expensive.
  • Get your own snacks as its a great way to save some money.
  • The park is quite huge so it’s a good idea to plan the route and start off with the popular rides.
  • Stay connected with your friends and family with a local SIM card as it is easy to lose your people in the crowd.
  • Most of the rides are covered in the day pass but not all! Some rides like Animal Riding and Robot VR will require additional payment.

Best Time to Visit or How to Avoid Long Lines!

Any weekday in winter is a good time except for Christmas and New Year if you don’t mind the cold. The only problem is, some of the rides might be closed and you won’t be able to ride some because it’s too cold.

Early spring and fall are also good times to visit the park. It won’t be as empty as in winters but the weather is much more manageable and the lines are relatively short.

Everland vs. Lotte World?

A million dollar question for the theme park enthusiasts!

Both are equally exciting and full of thrilling rides, it’s a difficult question to answer. Overall experience-wise both are pretty much the same, the only difference is the distance. Lotte World is right in Seoul while Everland is about an hour away.

You can check out the Everland and Lotte World comparison post from Klook.

Get ready for a day of thrilling rides, exciting attractions, and some amazing shows at the Everland Theme Park!
