From time to time, things need a little Spring (or Autumn) clean!  Of course, many of Efteling’s attractions are located outdoors, and therefore are vulnerable to all kinds of crazy weather.  In Carnaval Festival’s case, it’s just the sign that has been beaten down by the elements!  Jokie needed a good scrub, and tomorrow (26/9) the attraction will reopen after having a little clean-up, inside and out.  The sign is looking a little brighter, as you can see…

Ton-van-der-Ven-WerktafelLXWe are saddened to learn today that the former Efteling designer Ton van de Ven has passed away suddenly at 71 years old following a stroke.

He was responsible for the design of many attractions in Efteling, including Spookslot (his first), Droomvlucht, Fata Morgana, Villa Volta, Vogel Rok, and many fairy tales in the Sprookjesbos.

He worked with Anton Pieck during his early years at the park, translating Pieck’s drawings into the attractions that we see today.  In 1989 he became the creative director of Efteling.  Although taking early retirement from Efteling in 2003, he would sometimes make appearances at the park during special events. Ton van de Ven PleinThe corner of the park where you can find Droomvlucht and Villa Volta was named ‘Ton van de Ven Plein’ in later years, just as there is an ‘Anton Pieck Plein’ in another part of the park; a very high honour.

The world has lost an inspirational designer, who will be remembered for his unique creative talent which will continue to be enjoyed by all who visit Efteling.

At Night in Efteling…

During the night, the fairy tales continue!  There are a few night-vision videos of Efteling residents running around in the accommodation grounds whilst all the guests are fast asleep.  Not a shock, of course, to see the Sandman awake and busy at night, but apparently the rest of Efteling’s inhabitants don’t need much sleep either.  Here’s a couple below; you can find more on Efteling’s YouTube channel.
