    Your pronounications of the attractions are spot on!!🤩 And at the moment a lot of attractions are closed (due to constructions) , but also the main entrance area is under construction (due to the new hotel opening in '25. So it is a little bit uglier/less beautiful atm :( (for everyone reading this and planning to go to Efteling)
    Watching Aquanura in the dark is such a good one! I'm going in february, so that'll go on my list as well :)
    Renting skates is 2,50 euro's (or between 2,50-4,50, differs per year, but last year it was €2,50)
    Looking forward to the video's! Hope you have a fantastic time🍄✨🧚

      That's so kind of you to say. We've still found the park extremely magical and we've had a super time so far. The construction hasn't hindered too much for us. Aquanura last night in the dark was spectacular. We loved it so much. What a great alternative to fireworks. Thank you for the heads up on the ice skating and thank you for watching 😀 x

    I'm sure you'll have a great time, construction or not. Look out for the machines that give you a small souvenir in exchange for a coin. You have the Donkey, The Smithy, Crowned Duck and The Stone Hen. Consider getting a Magic water or kids meal at Polles Keuken, for more cheap souvenir ideas.

    • @sohelenaandmartyn
      @sohelenaandmartyn  7 месяцев назад

    Not the best time for going back, Efteling is a complete construction and renovating pit at the moment, all the coasters were down in the past week, except Max and Moritz and Vogelrok......There is one big plus though........the lighting in the evening is stunning, especially around the winter area......Hope you have a lot of fun and that Martyn finally does Baron, have a tip for him, and I know, it sounds weird, but it is the best to do Baron on the FRONT row for the 1st time, trust me, you can see the track, so it is less scary, besides, the last row is a lot more powerfull also! Thumbs up!

    • @sohelenaandmartyn
      @sohelenaandmartyn  7 месяцев назад +1

      Thanks for the heads up. We’re just excited to have a more laid back approach and taking in whatever Efteling has to offer at the moment. We’ll really be making use of our accommodation too. Time for books and board games. Cheers for the tip on Baron. Thank you for watching 😊 x

    To bad your visiting at this moment because its a bit of a big building depot at the moment. Many rides closed, many fences, a lot of buidling going on in the park. Efteling is always fun, but at the moment... I can imagine it wont be the experience your would expect or want of the park. Hope you still will enjoy your stay, because you already planned it, but keep in mind.... its not the full experience your gonna get.
