Everland (Korean: 에버랜드) is South Korea's largest theme park. It is located at the Everland Resort in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province. In 2018, it received 5.85 million visitors[2] and was ranked 19th in the world for amusement park attendance.[2] As of 2010, Everland is measured to be approximately 1,200,000 square yards.[4] 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.[5]

It first opened under the name Yongin Farmland (용인자연농원; lit. Yongin Natural Farm), and received its current name in 1996.[6]

The park is accessible by public transportation (buses and the EverLine railway),[7] as well as by dedicated shuttle buses that stop by various places in Seoul.[8]
