Everland Tulip Festival 2025 in South Korea
If Korea isn’t already on your travel list this year, it probably should be. Between relaxing in a spa land in Busan and cuddling fluffy Samoyeds at a dog cafe, the Everland Tulip Festival 2025 is a must-visit for a touch of kawaii in Spring.
Happening now till 15th June 2025, this year’s collab with Sanrio is going full-on with a bigger and better display of tulips, along with a giant figure of Cinnamoroll, and characters like Hello Kitty and Kuromi making a grand appearance.
How to get to Everland?
Everland is located on the outskirts of Seoul, and while you can take the subway and bus to get there, we recommend the Daesung Tour shuttle bus (~S$11.99) for a smoother experience. It offers round-trip transfers, so you don’t have to worry about transportation after a day of rides and clocking in your 10k steps.
Pick-ups and drop-offs are also super convenient, covering popular tourist spots like Myeongdong, Hongdae, and Sinchon. The journey takes about 1 hour each way, depending on traffic conditions.

After the success of last year’s festival, Everland wasted no time and jumped straight into talks with Sanrio Korea to bring back the charm. The 2025 edition, titled Flower Carnival with Sanrio Characters, promises to be even more delightful, with new themed experiences that go beyond just pretty blooms to look forward to.
Over 1.2 million flowers to admire

Get ready for plenty of pretty photo ops where over 1.2 million flowers across 100 varieties are now in full bloom at the Four Seasons Garden. This year, the floral celebrations have extended beyond the garden, reaching areas like Global Fair and Magic Land, so you’ll have lots of chio AF spots to explore and capture the beauty of the season.

While classics like Hello Kitty, My Melody, and Cinnamoroll will always have a place in our hearts, the festival also shines a spotlight on Sanrio’s rising stars. Keep an eye out for Hangyodon, Keroppi, and Usahana – fan favourites among millennials and Gen Z.
Catch daily dance performances by Sanrio Characters

For the first time in Korea, Everland is bringing fun with daily dance performances featuring all your favourite Sanrio characters. Watch them show off their moves, and with themed zones dedicated to each character’s story, you’ll get an interactive, feel-good experience that brings the magic of Sanrio to a whole new level.
Grab limited-edition merch

Don’t leave without snagging some exclusive Sanrio merch to remember your visit. You’ll find all the theme park classics – headbands, bags, and popcorn buckets – given a cute upgrade featuring characters like Cinnamoroll and My Melody.
And if you’re a sucker for collectibles, plan a trip to Korea in May instead. That’s when the Pochacco popcorn bucket drops.
