Everland Panda World Q-Pass Review 2026: See Ruibao & Huibao

Reasons why you should grab an Everland Q-Pass and visit Everland!

Everland's Rui Bao and Hui Bao are

scheduled to depart for China in the third week of December 2026.

Oh, the tears!

The day I went to see the twin pandas,

I personally used the Everland Panda World Q-Pass,

and it allowed me to enter quickly without having to wait in long lines.

My satisfaction was incredibly high that day, especially since the pandas were my main goal.

Especially if you want to see Rui Bao and Hui Bao,

it's good to know the difference between Panda World and Panda Second House in advance.

I've organized everything from how long you can see Rui Bao and Hui Bao,

to the Panda World Q-Pass price and booking methods,

and even my personal review after using it.

1. Everland's Rui Bao & Hui Bao: How Long Can We See Them?

​

✎ 199 Everland-ro, Pogok-eup, Cheoin-gu, Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-do

✎ 10:00 AM - 4:30 PM

Based on Everland's official announcement,

here's a summary of the details:

Departure to China

Scheduled for the third week of December 2026

​

Exact Departure Date

Undecided (to be confirmed based on health, temperature, and local conditions)

​

Last Public Viewing Day

Not yet announced

According to international agreements, giant pandas must

return to China before they turn four years old, when they become capable of breeding.

This is why the twins, born on July 7, 2023,

spent their last birthday in Korea this summer.

What I was most concerned about was the last public viewing day.

Their older sister, Fu Bao, also finished her public appearances about a month before her departure.

If the pattern holds, the days you can actually see Rui Bao and Hui Bao

might end even earlier than December!

(Since no official announcement has been made yet, please make sure to check Everland's official notices!)

The Rui Bao and Hui Bao I met were

sleeping sprawled out with their chins resting on a large rock,

then gently lifted their heads to look at me, as if playing peek-a-boo.

​

Even with their robust size, their round paw pads and

their fluffy, ball-like backsides were simply pure healing! '◡'

Even after seeing everything in Everland's Panda World that day and leaving,

I couldn't help but feel a lingering regret, wondering how much longer I'd be able to see this sight.

For your reference,

the youngest, Shu Bao, born on June 3rd,

is not yet publicly visible, so you won't be able to see her on-site.

Panda World vs. Second House: What's the Difference, and What are Panda World's Hours?

There are two places to see Everland's pandas:

Panda World & Panda Second House.

Getting to Panda World is simple.

Head past the main gate towards Zootopia,

and it's located right at the entrance as you go down.

The twin pandas, Rui Bao and Hui Bao, are

in the Panda Second House,

while dad Le Bao, mom Ai Bao,

the red pandas, and the golden monkeys are

in Panda World.

Mom Ai Bao is currently raising Shu Bao,

so her public viewing status might change.

​

The Second House is located

right below Panda World,

where you see the 'Closed' sign.

You can download the Everland app,

or click the map below to download a PDF of it!

After my visit to the Second House,

where I first met the twin pandas,

I immediately headed over to Panda World

to meet Aibao, who was enthusiastically devouring bamboo,

and Lebao, who was diligently taking a stroll.

Pandas spend most of their day sleeping or resting,

so if your timing isn't right,

you might only see their backs.

Thanks to my afternoon visit,

I got to see the pandas eating and moving around.

Panda World's operating hours are usually

from 10:00 AM to 5:30 PM,

with Q-Pass entry closing at 5:00 PM,

so if you plan to visit in the late afternoon, make sure to factor in the time.

​

​

While you can also queue for Panda World

using the free Smart Queue system on the Everland app,

it often fills up quickly on weekends and during the autumn outing season.

That day, too, the waiting line was long and endless,

but thanks to having reserved a Panda World Q-Pass,

I was able to enter directly through the dedicated line.

It's very popular, so the line was quite long.

Since you don't have to spend all your energy waiting in line,

especially if you're visiting with children,

you'll really feel the difference.

3. Everland Panda World Q-Pass: Price, Booking, and Is It Worth It?

​

You can book the Panda World Q-Pass on Trip.com

by selecting your preferred date and time.

Trip.com

has an official partnership with Everland and Panda Second House

to sell Panda Q-Passes,

so you can book with confidence.

How to purchase the Panda World Q-Pass?

Select your visit date and entry time, then complete payment.

👇

Present the received voucher at the Q-Pass entrance on-site.

|

Everland Round-trip Bus

or

1-Day Ticket

|

On Klook,

if you pay more than ~$37,

you get an additional ~$1 discount code:

세시간전2600001

If you pay more than ~$74,

you get an additional ~$2 discount code:

세시간전2600002

However, the Q-Pass is only available through Trip.com!

This is because Trip.com is the official partner.

|

If you're buying on-site,

Check out Everland credit card partnership discounts

SKT offers a 40% discount.

If you have a credit card or SKT discount,

buy your admission ticket on-site,

and I recommend buying your Q-Pass online in advance.

Quantities might be limited.

Especially on weekends!

Should I definitely buy a Q-Pass?

If seeing the pandas is your top priority for this Everland visit,

it was definitely worth it to save waiting time and energy.

Conversely, if you plan to mostly enjoy the rides

and just catch a glimpse of the pandas as you pass by,

the free Smart Queue system might be fine too~

But when I actually went,

Everland's Smart Queue was surprisingly a bit of a hassle ^^;

I definitely recommend saving time and energy by going for the faster option!

4. Everland Parking Tips

​

This time, I used

valet parking at Everland.

The current Everland valet parking fee is

~$18 per car,

and you can book it through Everland Smart Reservation or

Kakao Navi.

(Passenger cars only)

The advantage is that even if the parking lot is full,

you can still enter the valet parking lounge

at the main gate.

I heard that reservations fill up quickly on weekends,

so I made sure to book in advance before my visit.

When it's time to head home,

you'll get directions to your car's location at the valet lounge,

then proceed to the parking area yourself to pick up your vehicle.

​

Everland Official Valet Parking Information

Even though Yongin, Gyeonggi-do,

feels a bit warmer than Seoul,

it gets chilly during the Moonlight Parade and fireworks show at night,

so a thick cardigan is a must. You could also bring a jacket.

The current Everland fireworks show is

Everland Special Fireworks: Guardians of Light.

After seeing the pandas,

watching the Moonlight Parade and the fireworks show will

perfectly cap off your packed day!

​

Thanks to the Q-Pass for fast entry on a weekend,

I was able to fully enjoy Lost Valley until its very last operating time.

Everland comes highly recommended as a great place to visit in Yongin, Gyeonggi-do,

perfect for an autumn trip in Korea~ 😎

Especially, be sure to visit to see the adorable pandas,

which you can see until October!
