Seoul Land (Korean: 서울랜드) is an amusement park opened in 1988,[1] in Gwacheon, a city in Gyeonggi-do province, South Korea. It is located in the Seoul Grand Park complex. It opened just before the 1988 Summer Olympics.[2] It has about 40 rides, including roller coasters and movie theaters. Seasonal festivals are held in the park.[3] It is smaller than Everland, but closer to Seoul,[4] about one hour away from downtown. Approximately 3–3.5 million people visit the park each a year.[2][5][6] Roughly a third of its 300,000 m2 is green space, the rest being packed with attractions.[2]
