Seoul Land, Seoul

Opened just before the 1988 Summer Olympics, in Gwacheon, a city in Gyeonggi-do province, Seoul Land is the largest theme park in South Korea. It has about 40 rides, including roller coasters, and movie theaters. Seasonal festivals are held in the park. It is smaller than Everland, but closer to Seoul, about one hour away from downtown. Approximately 3–3.5 million people visit the park each year. Roughly a third of its 300,000 m2 is green space, the rest is packed with the attractions. The park has 5 different themed areas offering an array of exhibitions & performances. There are also seasonal promotions, including a swimming pool in the summer and a Sledding Slope in the winter.

Why You Should Visit:
This is probably the best amusement park for young children (over 80cm tall!) as the rides aren't extreme. The park is also quite small and very quiet – only locals and their kids go to Seoul Land (most tourists will go to Everland or Lotte World).
