Sapgyoho in Dangjin City is home to the closest theme park to Camp Humphreys, just a 30-minute drive away and a 50-minute drive from Osan Air Base. A drive of less than an hour offers an exciting day for your whole family to spend fun time while stationed in Pyeongtaek.

If you travel across Sapgyo Bridge in the southern direction from the base, you may have seen the park’s enormous Ferris Wheel with beautiful lights. Compared to other theme parks, Sapgyoho Amusement Park isn’t large, so you may not spend an entire day here. However, it’s a perfect spot for those who prefer to have fun outings close to home.

The amusement park offers a retro sentiment of Korea with the wonderful night view of the ocean and an opportunity to take a relaxing stroll along the seaside.

The park doesn’t charge an entrance fee. Instead, visitors purchase individual ride tickets, as the park does not offer all-inclusive passes.
