Everland Amusement Park South Korea was open to the public in 1976, Everland Resort is the most popular and largest theme park in South Korea. It is nestled below the lush mountains of the city of Yongin, in the Gyeonggi Province. This family complex includes a zoological park (Zoo-Topia), a water park (Caribbean Bay) and a hotel complex. This is in addition to the Everland main park, divided into five leisure areas. Owned by a subsidiary of the Samsung group, Everland Resort was originally called Yongin Jayeon Nongwon and changed its name in recent years to attract international visitors.
Unlike most leisure parks around the world, Everland Resort has very few thrill attractions with the exception of the T Express train. This roller coaster inaugurated in 2008 is the first in the country to be built entirely of wood. Its first slope at 77 degrees is one of the most steeply inclined in the world. In addition to a variety of rides, this theme park also has the Ho-Am Art Museum with Korean paintings, the Glen Rose golf course, an automobile museum, the largest automobile circuit in the country where visitors can experience motor racing first-hand. Everland Resort is renowned for its beautiful gardens and is the recipient of numerous international flowering garden awards. Each year in March-April, the park hosts a superb tulip festival made up of a million of these bulbous plants and a hundred different varieties.

It includes dolls, figurines and various miniature constructions typical of the Middle East, Asia or the Americas. Regularly ranked among the best theme parks in the world and constantly praised for its quality of services to families, Everland Resort attracts more than seven million visitors each year.
