Quick answer: Lotte World tickets cost ₩67,000 for an adult day pass at the gate in 2026, but Lotte World’s own app and website sell the same pass for ₩46,900 when you book on the day you visit, through December 31. Everland, about an hour from Seoul by bus, raised its prices on October 6: an adult day ticket is ₩71,000 in October, ₩65,000 in November and ₩55,000 in December. Pick Lotte World for a half day in the city or bad weather, and Everland for a full outdoor day with its zoo and big coasters.

Lotte World or Everland: which one should you pick?

Lotte World is the easier trip, and Everland is the bigger day out. Lotte World Adventure (롯데월드 어드벤처) is an indoor-outdoor park at Jamsil Station (잠실역) in Seoul, reached from exit 4. Everland (에버랜드) is in Yongin (용인), Gyeonggi Province, about an hour by direct bus.

Go to Lotte World if you have half a day, travel with small children, or the forecast is bad. Its best-known coaster is Atlantis Adventure, which reaches 72 km/h, according to the Korea Tourism Organization.

Go to Everland if you want a whole day outside, and plan for the bus ride each way. It has five themed zones, including the Zootopia (주토피아) animal area and the Lost Valley safari, and its wooden coaster T Express now runs as Monimo RUSH, with a 56 m drop.

How much are Lotte World tickets in 2026?

An adult All-Access Pass (종합이용권) costs ₩67,000, after a ₩3,000 rise on April 1, 2026. It covers Lotte World Adventure and the Lotte World Folk Museum (민속박물관), where last entry is 18:00. The cheaper Park Pass (파크이용권) covers the park only.

After4 tickets let you in from 16:00. Babies under 12 months enter free. Children from 12 to 35 months also enter the park free, but need the baby ticket to use the toddler attractions.

Visitors aged 65 and over pay the child fare. Bring ID that shows your age, such as your passport, if you are buying a child, teen or senior ticket. Lotte World also says it does not accept screenshots of mobile tickets.

On October 15, 2026, the park was open 10:00 to 21:00, but hours change by day, so check the “today’s hours” box on the Lotte World site before you go.

How do you get a cheaper Lotte World ticket?

The best official deal is to book through the Lotte World app or website on the day of your visit. From June 1 to December 31, 2026, same-day online and mobile bookings get about 30% off the gate price.

The deal is online-only and can’t be combined with other discounts. Most of the other promotions on Lotte World’s benefits page are tied to Korean credit cards, Korean telecom memberships or local residency, so they won’t help most visitors.

1. Install the Lotte World app, or open adventure.lotteworld.com, on the morning of your visit.
2. Choose the same-day online booking (당일 온라인/모바일 예매) and the 1 Day or After4 ticket.
3. Pay, then follow the booking confirmation for entry. Lotte World says it doesn’t accept screenshots of mobile tickets, so don’t rely on a saved image.

Travel booking sites such as Klook also resell Lotte World tickets. If the official app or website won’t take your sign-up or your card, compare a reseller’s price for your date with the ₩46,900 official price before you buy.

Is the Lotte World Magic Pass worth it?

A Magic Pass makes most sense on a busy day when you care about the headline rides. It lets you use a separate line for 5 rides, and it’s sold only in the Lotte World app, on top of your entry ticket.

Each tier covers a different set of rides, so check the ride list in the app before you choose. Since April 3, 2026, the 7-ride pass is gone and the 5-ride pass comes in these four tiers.

• When to buy: Only Premium can be booked ahead, from 00:00 two days before your visit until 23:59 the day before. Every tier goes on sale in the app from 8:30 on the day, in limited numbers.
• Limits: One pass per person, and no more than 4 per account for the same date. You can’t share one pass between several people.
• Not covered: Kong X Godzilla The Ride, Lotty Train (로티트레인) and Fantasy Dream.
• Refunds: A pre-booked pass can be cancelled until 23:30 the night before. A same-day pass is refundable only within 2 hours of purchase.

How much is Everland in 2026?

Everland prices change by season, and they went up by ₩3,000 on October 6, 2026. Everland’s own booking page lists the adult day ticket (종일권) at ₩71,000 for October 6–31, ₩65,000 in November and ₩55,000 in December.

Teens (13–18) pay the adult price. Children from 36 months to 12 and visitors 65 and over get a lower fare, and Everland asks for a document proving age at the gate.

Everland’s smart reservation (스마트예약) opens 30 days before your visit date. You can cancel until the day before, but not on the day itself, and you can’t change the date or group size; you have to cancel and book again. The 50% partner-card prices on the same page apply only to certain Korean credit cards.

If Everland’s site won’t take your card, Klook also sells Everland tickets; compare its price for your date with Everland’s own booking page first.

Everland’s hours change by month, so check the app or website for your date. For questions, Everland’s customer center is 031-320-5000.
