History and details

Theater de Efteling is one of the five big theatres in the Netherlands. Designed by van de Ven, it matches the typical Efteling style. The surroundings consist of old Dutch warehouses. In addition to the theatre facilities, the building holds a large foyer and a restaurant. The total building costs added up to €20 million.

Shows

During the theatre's first nine years, shows were performed here four times a day from 2 pm onward at 90-minute intervals:

  • The Wondrous Efteling Show (or "De Wonderlijke Eftelingshow" in Dutch) (2002–2004)
  • Pardoes [the park mascot] and the Children Winter Wonder Party ("Pardoes en het Kinder Winter Wonderfeest" in Dutch) (Winter Efteling 2002-2003)
  • Efteling Fairy Tale Show (“Efteling Sprookjesshow" in Dutch) (2005–2006) - show commemorating the 200th anniversary of Hans Christian Andersen
  • Tika’s Birthday ("Tika is Jarig" in Dutch) (2007–2008)

    • From 2011 on, these shows will be separate from the theater in the park's new show facility Ravelijn.

    Also, every year there is a large musical production in the theatre (not combined with park admission). Large productions thus far:
