Histoire
Everland opened as Yongin Natural Farm in April 1976 and has since evolved into South Korea's premier theme park and resort.
Initially planned in 1972 as a comprehensive forest complex, it started with a pig farm and gradually introduced attractions such as the Festival Train (1979), various rides through the 1980s and 1990s, and was renamed Everland in 1996.
Key milestones include the opening of Caribbean Bay water park in 1996 and continuous expansions with new rides and themed zones through the 2000s and 2010s, marking its 45th anniversary in 2021.
The resort has adapted by closing older attractions and introducing modern entertainment and animal conservation areas, maintaining its status as a leading leisure destination.
