Efteling just published its 2025 annual report: there have been 5,78 million visits to the park by 4,98 million individual visitors. The number of individual visitors is still capped to 5 million by environmental law, but overnight guests are counted only once.

‪Hooghmoed is testing!‬

The new Magicaluna show starts today at the Efteling Theater. There are 3 showings per day, and all park guests can go see it free of charge. 🌙

A 16-seat boat is testing at De Vliegende Hollander. That’s 2 more seats than the other boats, as a seat has been added to each row of 3. This will increase capacity, but everyone will now see the back of another seat in front of them. ⚓️ 📷 : @jeroen989.bsky.social, @looopings.nl
