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.
Returning on 21st March 2025, this year’s collab with Sanrio will feature an even bigger and better display of tulips, along with giant figures of crowd-favourite characters like Hello Kitty and Kuromi making a grand appearance.
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 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 for this year’s sequel, promising even more magic and excitement. The 2025 edition is set to take things up a notch with more unique experiences.
Get ready for plenty of pretty photo ops where over 1.2 million flowers across 100 varieties will be in full bloom at the Four Seasons Garden. This year, the floral celebrations will extend 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.

The festival is also bringing your favourite characters to life with giant figures of Hello Kitty, Kuromi, and more. Scattered throughout the park, these adorable displays in dreamy, candy-coloured hues add an extra touch of charm to the already stunning floral landscapes.

Whether you’re here to snap aesthetic OOTDs or just a boyfriend who got dragged along for the ride, the festival’s pastel colour scheme is a total feast for the eyes. With gorgeous blooms and giant Sanrio characters, you might just find yourself enjoying it way more than you expected.

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

Although there’s no confirmed end date for the Everland Tulip Festival 2025 edition yet, last year’s festival lasted for about 3 months, so you’ve got time to plan. Make sure to snap plenty of pics, grab some Sanrio merch, and meet your favourite characters before this limited-time experience wraps up.
Date: From 21st March 2025
Address: 199 Everland-ro, Pogok-eup, Cheoin-gu, Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea
