As the year 2023 draws to a close, another chapter in Toverland's history comes to an end. A year that will linger in the memories of its visitors for its innovative attractions, sustainable initiatives, and unforgettable moments. In this first part of our annual review, let's revisit the highlights that shaped Toverland in 2023.

In the world of amusement parks, typically dominated by fantasy and entertainment, Toverland has found itself entangled in an unusual controversy. As part of its 'Winter Feelings' event, the park constructed a two-story alpine hut in the Port Laguna entrance area without obtaining the required building permit. This development has led to a serious dispute with the local administration and raises questions about compliance with construction regulations and permit procedures.

In a world marked by uncertainty and rapid changes, admitting a mistake is a rare and often commendable act of leadership. Jean Gelissen jr., the director of the well-known amusement park Toverland in Limburg, has done just that.
