This winter, the Warm Winter Meadow will unveil a completely fresh appearance. In previous years, the entire playground area was utilized for this event, but this year reveals a significant change. Drawing inspiration from the design of the Efteling Summer Beach, visitors this winter will experience a rejuvenated meadow.
From Sandcastles to Festive Crowns: A Transformation Full of Surprises
Previous attractions like the sandcastle and the bounce cushion have made way for new design elements this year. In their place now stand majestic crowns, captivating not just with their design but also with the adjacent bonfires. These provide visitors with cozy warmth during the chilly days.The vibrant beach huts, once a summer refuge, now shimmer in a new light. They've traded their summery hues for festive decorations and now house Christmas stalls offering both culinary delights and festive souvenirs.
The Stage Remains, But With a Twist

And for those without their own skates, rentals are available on-site.Opening Hours and Further Information
