What do you know about Samsung? Most readers tend to think about electronic and household appliances: smart phones, televisions, etc. Did 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 (suburb of Seoul). The center of Seoul and Everland Park is 50 kilometers away and 1-1.5 hours by bus. From Seoul there are several city bus routes, directly to the park.
Everland Park is one of two parks in the large resort of Everland. The second park, or rather the Gulf Caribbean water park - is located next to the amusement park. Here, as in the fairy tale, on your left will go - in the park of attraction you will get, and on your right you will go - you will get to the water park. The choice to make it will help the cashier, where you can decide which tickets to buy and where to go.
Once we start talking about tickets, let's talk about prices. Typical adult tickets for 1 day cost 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: The categories of children in Korea include children aged 3 to 12, and for youth categories - from 13 to 18 years. And age is considered by Korean standards, ie for a year more than in the West. Here a person grows on January 1 according to the lunar calendar.
In addition to a one-day ticket, there is also a night ticket, which according to him you can enter the park after 17 hours. Such tickets are cheaper than regular tickets for around $ 9.
Everland Park is huge, so you can walk for 2 days. For such visitors, a 2-day ticket is designed, costing $ 25-30 more than a typical one-day ticket.
Sometimes companies conduct promotions and tickets to both parks can be purchased at a discount. Also, there are discounts for payments with certain bank cards, discounts on pensioners and civil servants, for students and schoolchildren. In general, before going to the park, it is advisable to see the park section on the park site, which is being held today.
So, the tickets are bought and it's time to hurry, the park is great and there are always plenty 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 per year.
Entering the park gate, we found ourselves in the hallway of the Global Fair, on both sides there are many shops and counters. So, poshoppytsya lovers here too, do not be bored. In addition, there are many cafes and restaurants on this street.
The park itself is divided into 5 zones: the Global Fair, the Zoo-topia Zoo, the European Adventure, the Miraculous Earth, and the American adventure.
The zoo at Everland Park is not that big. The highlight is the safari. On a guided bus, you can drive past Valeria with animals and see how they live. Here live tigers, lions, bears, primates, penguins, sea lions ...
In the "Adventure in Europe" zone all buildings and attractions are built in European style. There are many cafes with European cuisine here. Favorite attraction in this area is the T-Exprexx roller coaster. I was enough to see them from the side. Although the queue for this tourist attraction is always rather large. Sometimes you have to wait and 2 hours to sit on this decisive train.
In addition to all this, the park often organizes a variety of exciting events. For example, now the park hosts the roses festival. It's a beautiful park. Every Saturday and Sunday, a free tour of the rose garden is held in the garden. During the tour, the guide not only tells about festivals and parks, but also about the roses themselves.
Up to the land of Magis, we go into a fairy tale, where there are mythical creatures around it. And then there's the Ferris Wheel, climb up where you can see the whole park Everland.
In America's Adventure Zone, this park introduces visitors to American history. Here is another roller coaster. True, they are slightly smaller than T-express, but from this they are not becoming less popular.
Every night in the park there is a parade and salute. Who's at Paris Disney Land, can not be surprised by anything.
If you are in Seoul and want to spend time with your family, then Everland Park can be a very good choice.
