Here is our ‘annual report’ of comings and goings here at Efteling UK.  Click the link at the bottom of the page to have a look.

Also, thank you to all of our friends who continue to visit the site and follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Happy New Year!

Here’s an excerpt:

The concert hall at the Sydney Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 25,000 times in 2014. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 9 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.

Happy Holidays!

Dutch DJ Tiësto performed a set at Efteling the other night, with the help of Aquanura.  There was some Efteling music mixed into the set, naturally!  Check it out:

Attention to Detail in Winter Efteling

Considering we were new to visiting Winter Efteling, we had a lot to take in!  A few things we had seen photos of over the years, but other things were a total surprise.  One of the most impressive things was not only the change in design (the ear muffs and scarf) but also the audio of the sleepy litter bin next to the train track.

He wasn’t the only one though!  Kleine Boodschap shivers as he points the way to the nearest bathrooms.

…very cold! But beautiful. Especially the ice palace.  Thank you Efteling for the fire pits around the park; and of course, the hot Chocomel…only made better by being in a Benjamin mug!

Fata Morgana Surprises

Efteling uploaded a video a couple of days ago which asked the question ‘Can Fathers still be astonished?’

Maybe you’d think not, but this is definitely the way to do it.  Whoever thought they’d ever see their wife belly dancing in Fata Morgana?!

The most impressive thing though, was the real Tiger!

Gone are the days of ‘365 Dagen Welkom’, even though we are still welcome all year!  However, a new sign which simply reads ‘Efteling’ has been installed on the front of the House of the Five Senses.  It’s classy, and nothing like the last sign which essentially looked like a cardboard cutout.

On November 6th, Winter Efteling is officially here!  Of course, getting a park like Efteling ready for Winter is no small task, so the decorations have already been going up.  A silver crown has been added at the Pagoda (next to, not on top!), the skating rink is up, and there’s snow everywhere!  It’s all looking rather festive.  Click here to take a look!
