A theme park is where you can enjoy blooming gardens, fun characters, thrilling rides, and animals in a natural setting all in one place. Step into a theme park and spend an unforgettable day filled with fun this spring!
Everland: A Fantasy Land in the Heart of Nature
Located in Yongin, Gyeonggi-do, Everland is Korea’s most visited theme park. Surrounded by beautiful natural scenery, the park welcomes visitors into a world of fantasy, offering a wide array of attractions across five themed zones—Zootopia, European Adventure, Magic Land, American Adventure, and Global Fair—each filled with fun and excitement.
This spring, meet the newly featured “Sanrio” characters! Explore the newly opened “River Trail Adventure” in the Zootopia zone and experience the spring-only event Flower Carnival with Sanrio Characters.

River Trail Adventure: Cross the Floating Bridge to Meet Animals
The newly opened River Trail Adventure in Everland’s Zootopia offers a unique opportunity to observe animals while crossing a floating bridge over the water. You’ll encounter fearsome hyenas, majestic lions, tall giraffes, and elephants in their natural setting, without any car windows or fences separating you from them. You’ll be guided by a friendly commentary along the way as you encounter animals lovingly cared for by Everland’s zookeepers.

Particularly beloved animals include the baby giraffe “Maru” and the talking elephant “Kosik.” Maru was born tall at 190 cm, but the two-year-old calf captures the hearts of visitors with its adorable charms. Kosik has gained great popularity after being listed in the Guinness World Records as a “talking elephant,” making whistling sounds by curling his trunk in his mouth.
