This spring at Everland, not only will there be a stunningly large tulip garden, but also the newly enhanced, wilder Safari World, a special fireworks show and circus performances produced by top directors and actors from Korea and abroad, and a large lineup of new content on an unprecedented scale. For these reasons, the park is generating high expectations as the ultimate spring outing destination.


To start, with the festival's opening, the Four Seasons Garden, spanning approximately 10,000 square meters, will be transformed into a tulip garden under the concept "My Spring Palette," allowing visitors to experience a vibrant array of spring flowers in a fresh and lively setting.


At night, with dazzling lights and music, the atmosphere shifts into a magical Night Tulip Garden.


In collaboration with world-renowned British installation artist Bruce Munro, garden lighting has been installed throughout the area. The light emanating from art sculptures and fiber-optic illuminations, together with the tulips, creates a romantic wave of flowers, cultivating a mysterious and dreamlike ambiance.


Various interactive programs, merchandise, and food options are also available. Starting March 20, a special tulip docent program will be held every morning for three days, allowing participants who enter the park one hour before opening to hear directly from garden designers about the plants. Anyone can apply in advance through the mobile app.


Safari World, which can only be experienced at Everland in Korea, will also return at the beginning of next month in an even wilder and more revitalized form alongside the Tulip Festival.

Reopening on April 1, the renewed Safari World features animal-friendly enclosures redesigned with an ecological focus, allowing visitors to observe eight species of large carnivores, including lions, tigers, brown bears, and hyenas, living freely in their habitats for a more immersive experience.


This year at Everland, visitors can also enjoy world-class, high-level performances previously unseen anywhere else in Korea.


The special fireworks show "Guardians of Light," which will have its grand opening at the Four Seasons Garden on April 1, is a new nighttime main event produced by Everland's leading multimedia show team and top creators from Korea and abroad.


Jungwoong Yang, Korea's leading performance director who has overseen national events such as the 2025 APEC Summit cultural performance and the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics opening ceremony, is directing the show. The lineup of artists is also impressive, with singer Kwon Jungyeol of 10CM, actor Lee Sangyoon, and the Prague Metropolitan Orchestra of the Czech Republic providing music and narration for the performance.


In addition, at the Grand Stage, Everland's large-scale theater with approximately 1,000 seats, Korea's only world-class circus performance "Wings of Memory" will be held twice daily starting April 1.


This production is a collaboration with the Canadian global circus production company Eloize, featuring creative directors, acrobatic designers, and circus coaches with experience from Cirque du Soleil, many of whom have traveled to Korea to direct the show in person. Over 20 artists from global troupes and arts universities, including Cirque du Soleil, will participate, delivering a performance of world-class caliber.

For this show, Everland is using Panasonic PT-RQ35K projectors with 4K resolution to deliver vivid visuals, and has enhanced the stage experience with new equipment and effects, such as flying swan puppets and moving boats, further heightening the audience's immersion in the performance.



An Everland representative stated, "This year's Tulip Festival has been prepared to offer a vibrant garden filled with 1.2 million spring flowers, a newly revamped Safari World, and world-class new performances so visitors can fully enjoy the joys of spring. We hope families, couples, and friends will make lasting spring memories at Everland together."
