Enter a winter wonderland at Efteling!

Join us on a magical Christmas adventure in Holland’s hidden gem…

Nestled in woodland on the edge of one of the Netherlands’ most beautiful national parks, Efteling is a magical theme park, where fairies and forest animals surround you, and fearless thrill-seekers soar through the sky on white-knuckle rides.

Visit between 13 November this year and 31 January 2018 and you’ll experience the fairytale atmosphere of Winter Efteling. Take a stroll through the enchanted Fairytale Forest, where thousands of twinkling lights guide you along rows of snow-covered pine trees. Then gather around Efteling’s huge campfires and tuck into some tasty treats – including delicious soups, traditional sausage rolls and freshly-baked waffles. Yum!

And the winter fun doesn’t stop there! Wander over to Efteling’s charming square, where you can twirl around the Ice Rink, whiz down the snow slide at the Ice Palace or dance with the Snow Princess and Fire Prince at the Winter Festival. Cool!
