Throughout the zoo, including at Puppa Town and Tiger Valley, a fortune cookie event will be held in celebration of Chuseok. Guests who listen to Animal Talk and answer related quizzes will receive a fortune cookie containing a warm message from the animals as an instant gift.

Starting October 3, when the Chuseok holiday begins, the Panda Second House, where the twin baby pandas will reside, will be open to the public for the first time. Visitors will be able to see Ruibao and Huibao living independently in their new home.

Currently, Everland is hosting a fall festival themed after The Wizard of Oz, where visitors can experience a variety of contrasting attractions in the bright and magical Emerald City and the spooky, fear-inducing Blood City.

Performances such as the "Smiley Pumpkin Parade" and "Crazy Zombie Hunt in Oz," which represent the festival by day and night, are being held in each themed zone.

The K-Pop Demon Hunters themed zone, inspired by the Netflix animated film that is fueling the global K-culture trend, opened on September 26 and is already gaining popularity.

In the K-Pop Demon Hunters themed zone, major scenes from the film and popular OSTs like "Golden" and "Soda Pop" are played on a large LED screen. There are also character-themed photo zones and a giant art installation of the tiger "Duffy" to welcome visitors.

Guests can immerse themselves in character stories such as "Huntrix" and "Lion Boys" through mission-based games and interactive photo zones. There are also 38 types of limited-edition merchandise and K-snack experiences available exclusively at Everland, allowing visitors to fully experience K-Pop Demon Hunters on-site.

The immersive mission game "Memory Carnival," jointly launched by Everland and Key Escape, is also open, offering a unique and exciting experience.

To present a large-scale mission game within the theme park, Everland has transformed the former Raptor Ranger site into a massive indoor and outdoor experience zone spanning approximately 1,450 square meters. Three types of mission programs have been created, including immersive experiences with character actors and integrated online-offline challenges.

Various experience programs will also be held throughout the Everland complex during the Chuseok holiday, making it ideal to enjoy together with Everland.

At Forest Camp near Everland, a "Meonghani Walkgae" trekking program will run from October 7 to October 9 for guests who wish to enjoy the holiday with their dogs. Participants can trek through the forest with their pets and relax in nature.

This program offers a choice of two trekking courses, and includes a talk concert with pet experts on proper walking techniques and pet health care. Advance registration is required via the Everland website.

On the last day of the holiday, October 12, the Everland Speedway, the only circuit in the metropolitan area, will host the "Peaches Run Universe 2025," a Show Run festival by the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team.

This F1 car driving event, held in Korea for the first time in 13 years, will feature a live driving performance by veteran driver Valtteri Bottas, as well as an F1 experience zone, circuit experience speed taxi, rare car exhibitions, and various other events.
