Happy Chuseok! In celebration of the harvest full moon holiday, amusement parks in and near Seoul will be giving special discounts from Sept. 21 to 23. Samsung Everland will launch its �Everland Hangawi Folk Festival� at Carnival Square from Sept. 18 to 26, which will feature 14 kinds of Korean folk games like jegi-chagi (shuttlecock) and tuho (arrow throwing).
In honor of the harvest, over 3,000 pumpkins from around the world will be on display, from a giant specimen that weighs over 100 kilograms to rare varieties like millstone pumpkins and golden ball pumpkins. There will also be a display of two 4-meter high pumpkin trees and a three by six meter tunnel made of pumpkins for visitors to explore.
At the Everland zoo, three newborn lions will make an appearance. Twice a day the cubs will appear in Hanbok and children will be allowed to feed them milk. Meanwhile, the Bug Garden will display its collection of some 200 autumn bugs, and give a concert daily until Oct. 17.
There will also be exclusive discounts for expats visiting the amusement park. From Sept. 18 to 30, Everland will offer a discounted admission price of 22,000 won for the main park, and 15,000 won for its water park, Caribbean Bay.
To take advantage of the deal, simply visit the news section of the English Everland website, print out the coupon and fill in the form. A single coupon will cover admission for a group of up to four people. For more information and group reservations, please call John Kim: 02-759-1940~1.

Lotte World is also going all out with Chuseok events, inviting TV stars from the KBS show �Misuda� to host a global talent show at the Garden Stage throughout the holiday.
In addition to the talent shows, a 25-member female nongak (farmer music) band will perform a fusion percussion play. Visitors to Lotte�s folk museum will have a chance to play a giant version of yunnori (a traditional board game), along with other folk games. Children can participate in crafting dolls from mulberry paper, making a badge of one of the 12 zodiac animals, or enjoy a pottery class for a small additional fee.
Foreigners will receive a discount of 22,000 won on admission and rides. Teenagers will get in for a mere 18,000 won and children for 17,000 won. Just go to the English website, and click the Chuseok icon on the left to print out the coupon, and then bring the coupon and proof of overseas citizenship to the ticket gate. The discount coupon can also cover one accompanying Korean citizen. For inquiries, please call 02-4921~7

The spirit of Chuseok is in full bloom in Seoul Land, too. Folk games like riding a wooden pony, yunnori, paeng-i-chigi (spinning tops), rice-cake making, and tuho will be ready for the whole family to enjoy. Highlights include a performance by the famous tightrope walker Kim Dae-gyeun.
Expats can enjoy the festival and rides for the very reasonable price of 10,000 won. No coupons or forms are required, but visitors need to bring their passport or other proof of non-Korean citizenship to the ticket booth. The discount will run from Sept. 18 to 26.

The Seoul Dasan Call Center (120) will continue to provide consultation for locals, expats, and tourists throughout the Chuseok Holiday, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. For inquiries regarding traffic information or for other forms of assistance, please dial 120, and then press 9 for service in English, Chinese, and Japanese.

| I've been really wanting to go to Lotteworld or Everland....however I hear the crowds are insanity 99% of the time. Is there anybody who has been to either place during Cheusok before and can comment on whether or not it's worth it? Is it quieter because it's a holiday or crazier because it's a holiday? Thanks~! |

LotteWorld is easier to get to by subway (Jamsil Station on the green line #2). But Everland is a MUCH better amusement park. If you go, you'll see why. Just take my advice and be out of Dodge by 7 pm because everyone moves to the exits around sundown and the same buses get mobbed. The later you stay the longer the line to get a bus to get back home gets.
One more thing, Everland was supposed to complete its own subway line, called "Everline" in August, but it hasn't been completed and opened yet. That will help a great deal when it FINALLY opens.
OK, "Be out of Dodge" means be out of Everland.

Not during Chuseok. Go and you'll be fine. |

| Cheers again! I live in Yongin so Everland will be easier for me to get to as well. Shame about the Everline not being ready. They seem to test run it everyday but with no one on board, very strange. |

Not sure what's happening with it but it sure sounds like the Monorail episode of The Simpsons. "I call the big one Bitey."

| I just got back from Everland. We had to queue quite a while for T-Express but I have to say it was worth it. It's an awesome rollercoaster! |

| Anyone have any info about when the Everline will open? That would be incredibly helpful to me. It's really annoying having to take a bus that meanders all around and then takes me to my part time job (*hugs his F-2 visa*) near what looks like a completed station *grrrr* |

| Slightly streaching this topic a little further...what will the crowds be like during the depths of winter (when it's really cold!!!)? Anyone have any experience of being there during the really cold days? |
