Everland is South Korea's largest theme park. Located at the Everland Resort in Yongin, a city in Gyeonggi-do, it receives 7.3 million visitors annually and was ranked sixteenth in the world for amusement park attendance in 2014. Along with its main attractions, Everland includes a zoo and water park known as Caribbean Bay. Everland is operated by Samsung C&T Corporation (formerly known as Samsung Everland, Cheil Industries), which is a subsidiary of the Samsung Group.
This park was formerly called "Jayeon Nongwon" which roughly translates to "Natural Farm." Its former English name was "Farmland."
Everland is divided into five zones: Global Fair, Zoo-Topia, European Adventure, Magic Land and American Adventure.
Global Fair is primarily a place for food, souvenirs and pictures as visitors make their way into and out of the park. There are many shops, and restaurants as well as services such as stroller rental and lockers.
ZooTopia is an animal-themed portion. There is a petting zoo, pony rides, and animal shows. There is a small zoo with polar bears, sea lions, penguins, bears, tigers and primates. A safari bus ride is available which shows animals such as ligers and bears roaming in a contained habitat. The visitors stay in the bus. Amazon Express is a raft ride, where most visitors get splashed. The petting zoo provides animals such as goats and sheep to pet. Kosik, one of Zoo-Topia's elephants, made headlines when he demonstrated an ability to imitate Korean words.
European Adventure has many restaurants in European styles. The architecture imitates European styles. There is a flower garden encircled by a train, games and arcades. A favorite attraction here is the Mystery Mansion where visitors can shoot at the ghosts. In March 2008, a ride named "T Express" was added. It is the first roller-coaster in Korea to be constructed out of wood.
