Efteling: General Discussion

Book Polle's Kuchen for pancakes at least once.

If not staying on site no need to book any other restaurants unless you're doing that Caro show.

I didn't know about the Caro show, is it worth going to?

Never been no idea.

It's a very good show, It's a cross between a theme park show and Cirque du Soleil. Features a lot of ride music and elements from the park.

It's not for everyone, but if you like that sort of thing I think it's meant to be a good example of one. I've never bothered with it because to my mind a full day in the park is best followed up by a chilled out dinner and a few drinks! And I'd always rather maximise my time in the park than have to leave early for an early tea.

I took a punt on Caro during the second to last time I was at Efteling. I always wanted to visit the Theatre but never got to see their previous ride-to-stage adaptations and, as that time I was visiting with a newbie, I had to seize the chance.

It's a fun 'theatre in the round' experience following the life of a boy who travels the world, falls in love, yadda yadda guided by Mr. and Mrs. Time. Various impressive stage effects, scenery, puppetry etc ensue throughout, but not to the story's detriment. Overall, I'd pay to see Caro again if I could and I'd take it as an evening show over Aquanura anytime!

Firmly in the Caro is AWFUL camp here. If I knew how to I'd search up my previous response I posted on this thread but basically long, drawn out, maudlin tripe. But lovely if you like that sort of thing

I watched Caro when stayed onsite for my first visit in 2023 due to the great hotel discounted ticket price. Glad I did was a great show for the most part and well worth the price. Will happily pay to watch it again when I next visit Efteling.
