  • An immersive bioluminescent fantasy experience
  • Included with standard Everland park admission
  • Opportunity to see fireflies in a conservation habitat
Held at Everland in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province, the Midsummer Night Firefly Festival invites visitors to step into a bioluminescent fantasy. Guests explore a darkened forest experience zone where thousands of fireflies create delicate ribbons of green-gold light. This immersive experience is suitable for all ages, offering children a hands-on ecology lesson and adults a rare, romantic escape into nature, away from the city's neon glow.

Organized by Samsung C&T Resort Group, the firefly experience is included free with standard park admission. Everland has a long-standing commitment to firefly conservation, having successfully bred them in captivity since 1998 and opening this habitat to the public in 2017. The festival provides a soothing and wonder-filled encounter with these environmental bellwethers.

In addition to the firefly festival, standard admission also includes the Summer Night Safari. This allows visitors to experience Safari World after dark, where apex predators like lions, tigers, and bears are most active, observed from low-noise electric buses with live commentary.
