OSIRIA Tourist Complex & Lotte World Adventure Busan
A planned tourism district on Busan's eastern coast, anchored by Lotte World Adventure Busan and surrounded by resort, retail and leisure complexes built in phases since the 2000s
Theme-park rides, family leisure, resort stays, large-scale retail, coastal attractions and multi-stop days around eastern Gijang
A distributed tourism district rather than one enclosed attraction, with Lotte World, Osiria Station, major retail, resort complexes and other leisure sites spread across a large coastal area
OSIRIA is the product of more than two decades of staged tourism development. Rail, retail, resort accommodation and Lotte World arrived in separate phases and now share one large coastal district
Character
Lotte World Adventure Busan occupies one large parcel inside OSIRIA, a 3.66-million-square-metre tourism district assembled on Busan's eastern edge. The theme park opened in 2022 after retail, rail and resort projects had already begun turning the area into a new visitor district
OSIRIA was planned at district scale. Lotte Mall opened in 2014, Osiria Station followed in 2016, and the Ananti Cove resort complex opened in 2017. Lotte World added the largest single family-leisure component five years later, with a 158,000-square-metre first phase built around rides, parades and themed zones
Today, a railway station, theme park, shopping complex, hotels and coastal leisure facilities share the development area. Each keeps its own entrance, ticketing and operating schedule
The experience
Lotte World Adventure Busan is the most self-contained part of OSIRIA. Its themed areas concentrate rides, family attractions, performances and food inside a ticketed park, giving the wider district a destination that can fill most of a day on its own
Outside the gates, OSIRIA spreads out. Large roads and separate development parcels connect the station, retail, hotels and other attractions. The scale is closer to a planned resort district than a compact entertainment street, so distances between major components matter
Osiria Station opened before the theme park and tied the district into the Donghae Line. The rail connection serves the development as a whole, including attractions spread well beyond easy walking distance from one another
History
Busan began the East Busan tourism-development project in 2000 as part of the South Coast Tourism Belt. The tourism complex was formally designated in 2005, covering roughly 3.66 million square metres of Gijang. The name OSIRIA was later formed from nearby Yonggungsa and Sirangdae with the suffix '-ia'
Development arrived in separate stages across more than a decade. Lotte Mall opened in December 2014, Osiria Station in April 2016 and Ananti Cove in July 2017. Those projects established shopping, transport and resort accommodation before the district gained a large theme park
Lotte World Adventure Busan opened on 31 March 2022. The 158,000-square-metre Adventure Kingdom was described as the first phase of the OSIRIA theme-park project and added a large family-leisure anchor to a district already established around shopping, rail and resort accommodation
Before you go
Lotte World and the wider OSIRIA district keep separate tickets and operating schedules. A theme-park ticket does not cover neighboring retail, resort or leisure facilities
