News about Toverland

Looopings reports that Dutch amusement parks, zoos and other day attractions have made renewed agreements to make healthier choices more visible and appealing. The new phase of Gezond Uit is supported by organisations including Club van Elf, Jongeren Op Gezond Gewicht and the Netherlands Nutrition Centre. The article places the announcement in a longer context: as early as 2016, research concluded that healthy products at day attractions were often limited and difficult to notice among snacks and sweet treats. Earlier sector pledges, political support and visitor research followed, showing that many guests value healthy food but are not always convinced by what is available on site. For W8baan, the item is relevant because several existing parks in the database are listed as participants, including Efteling, Toverland and Walibi Holland. The central point is that the sector wants healthier options to become more normal between 2026 and 2030, while the real breakthrough still depends on what visitors actually encounter in the parks.

Looopings reports that Attractiepark Toverland is introducing a Summer Pass for visitors who want to return several times this summer without buying a regular annual pass. The pass is available from today and grants access from Wednesday 1 July through Wednesday 30 September. Adults pay 79 euros, while the price for children up to 140 centimetres is 59 euros. According to Toverland, the pass becomes cheaper than regular single-day tickets after two visits. Guests who also want to cover parking can add a parking option for an extra 25 euros. The article also notes that the offer overlaps with the Summer Feelings season. Between 11 July and 30 August, Toverland will offer additional entertainment and longer opening hours, including the parade, a fire show, a street act with a small dragon and a bubble show. The Summer Pass is therefore aimed clearly at local and regional repeat visits during the busiest holiday months.

Looopings reports that Toverland is temporarily selling a World Cup snack called De Doelpaal. It is an XXL frikandel with orange fries sauce, available at Katara Plaza in the Magische Vallei themed area. The snack costs 4.50 euros and ties in with the football summer surrounding the World Cup in Canada, Mexico and the United States. According to the article, the Limburg theme park is using the attention around the Dutch national team and its matches. The shape of the snack is meant to refer to part of a goal. For visitors, this is not a major operational change, but it is a temporary food offer that adds to the seasonal atmosphere and current theming of the park. Small actions like this are relevant for planning because they indicate extra food options, possible attention at catering points and active communication in the park. For W8baan, the story belongs with Toverland as a park-wide update, because Katara Plaza is a catering location and not an existing linked attraction.
