This winter the Efteling will be transformed into a festive, wintry wonderland for the whole family to enjoy!

Along with the above all attractions (weather & maintenance permitting) will be open for guests to enjoy including the park’s spooktacular new dark ride – Danse Macabre!

At the Warme Winter Weide, guests can choose to skate on the park’s annual ice rink, grab a hot chocolate or a bit to eat from the range of different catering outlets and enjoy the chance to meet Pardoes and Pardijn – Efteling’s iconic mascots.

On top of this Mr and Mrs Time – the colourful leads from the Efteling’s theatrical production CARO will also be on hand to add further festive magic to your day with winter songs in the Carousel Palace on weekends and holidays.

To cap off this year’s Winter Efteling, guests will also have the chance to enjoy a newly re-imagined Aquanura Show on the lake near the park’s entrance.

Aquanura has been given a brand new musical score, lighting package and the addition of FOUR giant light beacons placed around the lake.

The new beacons are set to help the “musical time travel” come to life through the use of thematic lighting and transformations accompanying the iconic Efteling frogs who have also received an accompanying metamorphosis.

Winter Efteling begins this month and will run all the way through until February 2025 daily at the iconic Netherlands based family theme park.

The Efteling can be easily accessed via public transport direct from Eindhoven (the closest major city located roughly just under one hour from the park).

Efteling also plays host to other iconic rides and roller coasters such as BARON 1898, Symbolica, Joris en de Draak and Python to name but a few.
