Seoul Land (or SeoulLand) is an amusement park 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.[1] It has about 40 rides, including roller coasters, and movie theaters. Seasonal festivals are held in the park.[2] It is smaller than Everland, but closer to Seoul,[3] about one hour away from downtown. Approximately 3–3.5 million people visit the park in a year.[1][4][5] Roughly a third of its 300,000 m2 is green space, the rest being packed with the attractions.[1]
Exhibits
Seoul Land hosts a variety of temporary exhibits. These have included:
- Early 2008: a Creation Science exhibit, organized by the Korea Association for Creation Research (KACR), which was visited by over 116,000 visitors during its three-month run[6]
