Efteling had been up and running for 40 years before the Efteling Hotel opened up next door.  As the park grew in size and in name, the logical progression was to give the guests of the park somewhere to stay overnight, so they could return to Efteling the next day!  And what a hotel it is.  It was operated by the Golden Tulip chain of hotels for a few years, but is now owned and operated by Efteling.

The hotel is made up of ‘Comfort Rooms’ (122) and ‘Themed Suites’ (20), as well as two dining rooms, ‘Hoff Heraut’ and Koninklijke Kasteelzaal and a bar, Gelagkamer.  There is also a small shop, in case you forget to buy something in the park!

 

Recently, the themed rooms were all upgraded, and a new themed suite was added!  Here is a list of the themed suites.  

 

 

 

Happy Birthday Efteling Hotel!

We never had a video of the Diorama on our YouTube channel, but now we do!  It is each of the scenes edited together, not exactly the full thing, but of course you need to visit in person to see that!

There are also a couple more new videos on there including the Flying Fakir and the Little Mermaid, and we will be uploading more in the future!

Our ‘Getting There‘ page has been updated.  Hopefully it is crystal clear, but if you have a question about it, send us a message on Facebook or at info@eftelinguk.com.  Efteling don’t seem to make getting there too obvious, so I hope this helps the people who have been asking about it!

Aquanura’s VIP Viewing Terrace: Loreley

The View from the Terrace

Unfortunately, this package is apparently only available during the Seven League Summer, which ends tomorrow, but we thought we’d share it with you anyway!

The Loreley Panorama Terrace is located on the Fata Morgana side of the Efteling Theatre, giving you a perfect view of Aquanura.  From Monday to Thursday, the package is available from 19:30 to 20:30, and later on weekends, and is €16.25 for adults and €8.00 for children aged 4-12.  Unfortunately, we were visiting through the week, so we saw Aquanura in the daylight, which of course means that is loses some of its effect.  However, it was still wonderful!

 

As you enter, you are handed a sparkling white wine, and taken to your seat.  It was quiet when we arrived, so we got seats closest to the lake, but there are more seats further back, with a more limited view.

 

 

You are then brought your first snack:

Meat with some green leaves.  It was actually nicer than it sounds!

Next comes quiche:And then comes prawns:

 Click those photos for a better look!

Drinks can also be brought to your table, and are included in the price.

A video of Aquanura will appear on our YouTube channel soon!

Our first full day at Efteling today!  Watching a pizza being delivered to someone’s cottage as I type. However, food is not something we’re wanting after just visiting the Efteling hotel’s buffet. The service was so -so but the food was really nice! Put it on your to -do list 😉 . Visited Jokie today at Carnaval Festival, and spent a lot of time in the Fairy Tale Forest.  Check out our Facebook photos!

Dessert!

When you describe Efteling to someone, you probably first mention the fairy tales in a forest, I know I do.  What most people who are not familiar with Efteling do not know, is that there are some more hair-raising rides included in the boundaries of the park.  Take Python for example:

Not for the faint hearted!
