Entrée - Efteling (Netherlands)

Entrée Efteling 11/02/2022 10h44

The entire area around the entrance to the Efteling will be completely changed. Here we are looking to the left of the Huis van de Vijf Zintuigen (House with the Five Senses) and here will be a huge hotel in the year 2024. In early 2022, work has started on breaking up the parking lot and preparing the area for construction. As a result, the Huis van de Vijf Zintuigen (House with the Five Senses) is temporarily not usable as an entrance and visitors are diverted. I will try to capture these changes in De Efteling when possible.

At the left the backside of De Zes Zwanen and at the right Sneeuwwitje and Herberg Ersteling.

 

De Efteling

The Efteling is a fantasy-themed amusement park in Kaatsheuvel in the Netherlands. The attractions are based on elements from ancient myths and legends, fairy tales, fables, and folklore.

The park was opened in 1952. It has since evolved from a nature park with a playground and a Fairytale Forest into a full-sized theme park. It now caters to both children and adults with its cultural, romantic, and nostalgic themes, in addition to its wide array of amusement rides.

It is the largest theme park in the Netherlands and one of the oldest theme parks in the world. It is twice as large as the original Disneyland park in California and antedates it by three years. Annually, the park has nearly 5 million visitors. In 2016, it was the third most visited theme park in Europe, behind Disneyland Paris and Europa-Park. Over the years, it has received over 125 million visitors.
