Everland

Getting around: From Suwon, take a bus or taxi (about 30-40 minutes) toward Yongin, where Everland is located; direct buses also run from various points in Seoul.
Hours: Typically open daily, roughly 10am-9pm or 10pm (extended in peak season); check current schedule.

Everland is Korea's largest theme park, spread across a large hillside campus combining rollercoasters and thrill rides, a zoo (Zootopia, including a notable panda exhibit), and seasonal flower festivals that have become a major draw in their own right — tulips in spring, roses in early summer, and elaborate light displays in winter. Its scale means a full day is realistically needed to properly cover the different zones, from thrill-ride-heavy American Adventure to the more family-oriented safari and zoo areas.

T Express, one of Asia's steepest wooden rollercoasters, is a particular draw for thrill-ride enthusiasts, while the park's seasonal garden displays draw a different, more photography-focused crowd who may spend their whole visit outside the ride areas entirely.
