Sander de Bruijn's Light Artwork: A Season Highlight

This installation, part of the "Connecting your love" project, adds an extra layer of wonder to the park, enchanting visitors of all ages.

Winter Experiences and Attractions

Winter Efteling is characterized by its festive atmosphere: crackling bonfires, garlands, and thousands of lights create a celebratory mood. A new feature this year are life-sized snow globes in Ruigrijk and on the Ton van de Ven Square, offering unique photo opportunities and experiences. The musical boxes with elves from the Dream Flight enhance the musical offerings on the Ton van de Ven Square.

The Warm Winter Meadow, a nostalgic ice rink surrounded by gastronomy, provides daily entertainment with artists like Zang & Gelukkig, Fay the Fairy, Pinocchio, and Pardoes and Pardijn.

New Year's Eve at Efteling: A Fairy-Tale Turn of the Year

The New Year's Eve celebration at Winter Efteling is a special highlight. From 7:00 PM to 1:00 AM, guests can enjoy a festive evening opening with live entertainment. Mr. and Mrs. Time from the CARO theater show enchant with winter songs in the Carousel Palace on weekends and holidays, creating an unforgettable winter atmosphere.
