Winter Efteling returns for 24th year

Efteling visitors can once again enjoy the warm atmospheres of the Winter Efteling from today. For the 24th time in a row, the theme park has been transformed into a winter paradise with crackling bonfires, atmospheric garlands and thousands of sparkling lights. As usual, the rides and inhabitants of the park have prepared for winter in their own special way. Also, after two years, the park’s ice-skating rink has returned. The Warme Winter Weide, a nostalgic winter garden, has been extended with an open-air ice-skating rink, which visitors can enjoy until 5 March 2023.

The Warme Winter Weide winter garden will feature additional entertainment and heartwarming daily musical offerings alongside warming food and drinks. Highlights for children include Pardoes the Magic Jester and Princess Pardijn welcoming children in a sleigh and the beloved fairy, Fay de Fee, and Pinocchio trying to make it snow. Visitors can enjoy the acapella music of Zang & Gelukkig. From 10 December, Mister and Madam Time, from the theatre show CARO, will perform winter songs on weekends and holidays in the Carousel Palace. The Fairytale Forest is now beautifully lit and each day will end with the spectacular and colourful water show Aquanura.
