Best Theme Parks in Korea for Summer

Everland Theme Park

Everland is one of the largest and most popular theme parks in Korea, offering a great experience during the summer. It is generally packed with tourists throughout the year, but the visit is totally worth the effort of dealing with crowds. Everland is popular for having the world’s steepest wooden roller coaster, the T-Express.

The park offers numerous other attractions and a variety of food options from around the world. There’s also a zoo within the park, Zootopia, which is also a popular attraction. If you want to enjoy some water in summer, you can visit Caribbean Bay Water Park (check out water parks in Korea for more details).

Seoul Land and Seoul Grand Park

Seoul Land Park in Gwacheon is a multifaceted complex that combines an amusement park, zoo, art gallery, botanical gardens, and more. You can start your adventure with Seoul Land, an amusement park that’s reminiscent of Epcot (by Disney). It is a fun place to visit in summer with friends and family, but it isn’t satisfying for roller coaster-lovers. The Black Hole 2000 is the only roller coaster ride in the theme park. There’s Sky X, which is a skydiving and bungee jumping hybrid.

Seoul Land and Seoul Grand Park

Adjacent to the Seoul Land is the Seoul Grand Park Zoo, which comes alive with the sun. There are all the varieties of animals to keep you occupied and entertained.

O-World

O-World in Jung-gu, Daejeon is an animal attraction in Korea. The Zoo Land within the park is home to more than 130 species of animals. You can enjoy an African Safari, a Mountain Safari, and a Jungle Safari to see all the different animals.

It also houses Toy Land, which is an amusement park with thrilling roller coasters and kiddie rides.

E-World

It is one of the best theme parks in Korea for summer time fun and enjoyment. Earlier it was known as Woobang Land as it is based around the Woobang Tower is Duryu Park across from the stadiums. The theme park is generally quiet as compared to other parks in our list and the queues aren’t long even during summer. The downside is that the rides are quite old and slightly uncomfortable. But, that is not to say in any way that they are unsafe!

There’s an aquarium underneath the tower, but it isn’t a spectacular sight. Instead, you can check out Sky Jump, a 123-meter drop from the tower!

Lotte World

A visit to Lotte World is like a visit to Disneyland – there’s music, laughter, children, cool rides, thrilling rides, games, shops, food outlets, and so much more. Adventure Park comes with its own carousel, fairy-tale adventures, souvenir shops, restaurants, and roller coaster rides.

Lotte World also has an indoor park on four floors of the building.

LEGOLAND Korea Resort

As one of the newest additions to the Korea theme parks’ summer lineup, LEGOLAND® Korea Resort in Chuncheon brings a fresh, family-focused experience to the country’s amusement scene. Opened in May 2022, it is the first global LEGOLAND resort in East Asia, uniquely built on Jungdo Island, surrounded by a scenic lake.

This park is tailored for families with children aged 2 to 12, offering over 40 rides and attractions across themed lands like LEGO Ninjago World, LEGO Castle, and Miniland Korea. During summer 2025, the resort runs its annual “AWE‑Summer Adventure”, featuring splash zones, water cannons, fog tunnels, and pirate-themed shows that make it ideal for cooling off in the heat. LEGOLAND also offers rainy-day return passes if bad weather affects your visit, making it an innovative and flexible option for your Korea summer itinerary.

Gyeongju World

Located in the historical city of Gyeongju, Gyeongju World blends high-thrill amusement rides with cultural charm, making it a diverse choice among Korea theme parks in summer. The park is known for Draken, Korea’s tallest and steepest dive coaster, as well as other thrill rides and a family-friendly bazaar district filled with food, shops, and Instagram-worthy photo spots.

What sets Gyeongju World apart in summer is the seasonal opening of California Beach, a full-scale water park offering wave pools, water slides, and lazy rivers perfect for beating the Korean summer heat. In contrast to more commercialized parks, Gyeongju World provides a more spacious and relaxed atmosphere—ideal for those seeking both excitement and a cool escape during the hottest months.

Recommendations for a Summer Trip

If you’re planning Korean theme parks in summer 2025:

  • Everland (Yongin) — Wide variety, Caribbean Bay water park for relief, and T‑Express coaster thrills.
  • Lotte World (Seoul) — Indoor/outdoor split gives flexibility on rainy or scorching days; Seoul’s indoor Magic Island and Adventure indoor zone are ideal.
