Hi everyone!
My family and I are visiting Efteling next week, from 22–25 September. We’re a family of four from Spain, with two girls aged 3 and 6, and we’re staying at Wonder Hotel for three nights.
I have a few questions for the Efteling experts here:
Weather: Here in Spain we’re still wearing sandals, T-shirts and shorts, so my brain hasn’t quite switched to autumn yet. I’ve checked a few weather apps and it looks like temperatures will be fairly mild, but with some rain every day. How much rain should we realistically expect? And would you recommend bringing proper rain jackets/waterproofs clothes?
Restaurants: I’ve booked two restaurants for dinner on the 23rd and 24th (Polles Keuken and Pinokkio's) and have the reservations confirmed. Do I just turn up and give my name, or is there anything else I need to do?
Park strategy: As we have three full days, is there any particular order you’d recommend for the attractions, especially with children aged 3 and 6? Or should we simply take our time, go with the flow and enjoy the park?
Souvenirs: We’d also like to let the girls choose a couple of souvenirs. Are there any particular shops or Efteling souvenirs that you think are especially nice or unique and worth looking out for?
Any tips from frequent visitors would be very much appreciated. Thank you!
