Entrance to Everland (left) - Caribbean Bay (right)
Intended to switch Everland & Caribbean Bay to another day, as Xuan and my hubby were coughing.
However, Xuan and Zhi still insisted to have fun on the second day.
We took a cab to Sadang, we didn't notice that the travelling time took 30 minutes more. From Gangnam Station or Gangbyeon Station only need 50 minutes instead of 80 minutes. Please check this link for more information.

We purchased single entry 1 day tickets to Everland and Caribbean Bay and saved 58,000 Won. Please note on the operating hours, so you can maximise your time ^^

Everland is one of the most famous attractions in Korea, which most of the tour agencies included it in their tour itinerary. And of course, it's a must for family with children, and youngsters or those who love to have adrenaline rush!

Theme Park is the place that I only go for the sake of my kids or friends. I have to gather all my courage and dragged myself  to take some of the rides as kids need to be supervised by adult. So, if I go with my friends and not necessary for me to join the ride, I'll opt to wait and help them to take photos for them.
I don't understand why those trilling roller coasters always with long queue! But, at least I can make an excuse for not wasting time queuing for it. It's the scariest thing for me! So, we mostly took those  rollercoaster for children. But, sometimes I didn't know that some of the rides have something similar to roller coaster... almost got 'heart-attack' because of the ride. It's so embarrassing to scream my lung out and tremble after those crazy trill rides with super high speed moving forwards, backwards, sudden brakes, hard turns and slopes when some of the kids really enjoyed and laughed happily throughout the rides! Do you like roller-coaster ride? Why?
Caribbean Bay is the largest water park in the world. The water park has various facilities such as the indoor and outdoor pools, wave pool, lazy river, hot spring pools, spa and sauna.
It received "Must-see Waterpark Awards" from International Association of Amusement Park Attractions. (Source: Wikipedia)
Beach, water park, waterfall, valley, spa, swimming pool are my favourite and must visit places. Yes, I'll definitely drag you there if you don't want to go... hahaha!!!
We went to Caribbean Bay as it closed earlier than Everland. Filled our tummies first before changed to swimsuits for fun water playing.

Steak and Chicken burgers for lunch.

There're lockers to store all your belongings in the changing rooms. I just took my HP and put it inside waterproof dry bag pouch and we're ready to 'conquer' Caribbean Bay!

Yohoo~! Water splash~~!!!

Caribbean Bay and Everland Themepark Attractions | meheartseoul.blogspot.com

Red light?! Run!!! unless you want to feel 2.4 tons of
spine chilling water pouring from this giant skull bucket!
A bit wet and cold because of the gust of wind from water blasting!!!

Up to this point, I was still half dry. Although I like water, but I'm afraid of cold water! I'm not used to slowly walked and submerged myself in the water. What I normally did was jump into deep pool, then swim for at least 2 long laps to fight with cold water! Bbrrrrr~!!

Last but not to be missed! Spa - Hot springs!!!

Slowly stepped into this 40 Celcius hot spring pool. Wohoo~! finally wet my whole body, so can be considered that we're successfully conquered Caribbean Bay! *dot dot dot* LOL!!!

Oh, there's something interesting in the bath area... portable spin dry towel drying machines! It'll be so nice if it's available in Singapore swimming pools, so no need to carry heavy bag with wet towels!

We spent adventurous and fun time in this impressive family water park! Highly Recommended!

17:00pm - Dinner

Oh dear, it's still drizzling after we finished our dinner. We need to wear raincoat and walk in this huge amusement park.

Everland has 5 theme parks (Global Fair, American Adventure, Magic Land, European Adventure and Zootopia) with almost 50 attractions. But, we only managed to find 3 attractions, and most of them were closed due to the weather...

Bumper Car (Zone : Magic Land)



Amazon Express & Zootopia 4D Show (Zone : Zootopia)

Quite disappointed as nothing much to do... it's partly because of the rainy day. So, please check weather forecast before you go to enjoy more rides! Anyway, we're exhausted and decided to go back to Seoul...

Waited more than 30 minutes for direct bus (5002) to Gangnam...

then decided to take taxi, as my daughter and hubby were quite sick, so I asked a favour from the lady inside information booth to call a cab for us. It took an hour from Everland to Yongsan area (51.892km) with total cost 62,620 Won.
