The park is located within the Imjingak Tourist Resort, which was built in 1972 to console displaced families from North Korea.
The Ferris wheel serves as a visual landmark for the site, standing in stark contrast to the nearby Mangbaedan Altar and the Bridge of Freedom.
It is one of the few amusement parks in South Korea physically located within sight of the DMZ's restricted access buffer zone.
The park's infrastructure is managed by a private operator as part of the public-private partnership of the Imjingak development area.
Pyeonghwa Land is a small-scale amusement park situated within the Imjingak Resort complex near the Demilitarized Zone. It features a collection of classic fairground rides, including a prominent Ferris wheel that provides views over the surrounding Paju countryside and toward the North Korean border. The park serves as a leisure facility for families visiting the broader Imjingak Peace Park, which commemorates the history of the Korean War. It operates on a pay-per-ride basis, allowing visitors to choose individual attractions rather than purchasing an all-day pass. The facility maintains a nostalgic, retro aesthetic common to Korean neighborhood amusement parks from the late 20th century.

Use the pay-per-ride system to target specific attractions rather than committing to a full park tour.
Combine your visit with the nearby Peace Train or the Third Infiltration Tunnel tour for a comprehensive half-day experience.
Bring physical cash as some ticket kiosks may occasionally face connectivity issues with mobile payment systems.
Do not attempt to photograph military checkpoints or personnel in the surrounding area, as strict security protocols apply near the DMZ.
