Things to do in  Yongin

Travelers to Korean Folk Village can explore 250 acres of natural landscape, dotted with 260 replica houses from the Joseon Dynasty. Learn about traditional foods, handicrafts, and clothing while visiting the workshops and open-air attractions; take in a live performance; or treat the kids to the rides and craft workshops in Play Village.

Whether you’re a fan of Korean historical dramas or are interested in learning more about them in a period setting, Dae Jang Geum Park (previously MBC Dramia) is a fun destination. Operated by the South Korean television network MBC, the park is used as a set for dramas, music videos, commercials, and documentaries.

South Korea’s largest theme park is like the Disney World of Asia, a massive complex filled with rides, food, fairy-tale characters, and live stage shows. It’s also home to Caribbean Bay, the country’s largest water park. There’s something for everyone, from a zoo area with live animals to the world’s steepest wooden roller coaster.

Though the tropical climes of the Caribbean are not something you’d usually associate with South Korea, the city of Yongin is home to Caribbean Bay, a water park and spa complex that seeks to recreate the laid-back vibes and water-based fun of the Caribbean.
