Walking through a winter wonderland will soon be possible in the Efteling becasue on 12 December, the Winter Efteling is opening its doors. The famous theme park in Kaatsheuvel (bus 137 or 169 from Tilburg station) has donned its fairytale figures in wintry colours, built a 1200 m2 large indoor ice rink and langlauf course, and at the end of every day mascot Pardoes will make it snow. Most of the rides (apart from the Python rollercoaster, the rowing pond and the Piraña water course) are open as usual. The steam train will also stop at a new station called ‘The East’ where you can buy all kinds of exotic, Eastern foods hopefully forgetting you’re in cold, wet Holland for a while. But of course, you can also buy yourself a cup of hot chocolate and a bowl of Dutch pea soup ‘snert’. Just one tip: you might not want to go the first few weekends because you’ll be standing in some very long queues…
