IS THE EFTELING PHOTOPASS WORTH YOUR MONEY?

A visit to Efteling is packed with magical memories: plunging into the mines on Baron 1898, drifting through the dreamlike world of Droomvlucht, or braving the waters of Piraña. And while those moments live in your heart, nothing beats having the ride photos to look back on. That’s where the Efteling Digital Photopass comes in. But the big question is: is it actually worth your money? Let’s break it down.

What Is the Efteling Digital Photopass?

The Digital Photopass allows you to collect unlimited digital ride photos during your visit. You simply see the code at the photo point and add it manually to the Efteling app, and the image stays stored until you decide to buy the pass.

⚠️ Important: You must both add the photos to the app and purchase the pass before leaving the park if you want to keep them.

Photopass Prices 

• 1 Day Pass – €25, unlimited photos for one day.

• Hotels & Resorts Pass – €35, unlimited photos for 7 days.

🎁 Plus: 30% discount on photo merchandise like keyrings or prints.

Where Can You Use the Photopass?

The pass works at almost all attractions with action photos, including:

• Python

• Baron 1898

• Joris & de Draak

• Symbolica

• Droomvlucht

• Fata Morgana

• De Vliegende Hollander

• Piraña

… and even fun extras like a photo with Pardoes or Pardijn, and photo points inside Dr. Charlatan’s Kwalycke Zaken. Also two souvenir videos are included. One at Baron 1898 and one at Danse Macabre.

Is the Photopass Worth It?

Here’s the honest breakdown:

✅ When it’s worth it:

• You love ride photos – If you usually buy 2–3 pictures (€12.50 each), the pass pays for itself quickly.

• You’re with family or friends – One pass covers unlimited photos, so the whole group can benefit.

• You’re staying multiple days – The €35 Hotels & Resorts pass is great value if you’ll be riding often.

• You enjoy souvenirs – With the 30% discount on photo products, you save even more.

❌ When it’s less useful:

• You don’t care about photos – If you rarely stop at photo points, a pass won’t add value.

• You’re visiting only a few rides – Buying one or two single photos might be cheaper.

• You might forget to activate – Since the pass must be bought before leaving, it’s easy to miss out if you forget.

Our Verdict

So, is the Efteling Digital Photopass worth your money?
👉 Yes — if you value photos and want a digital album of your magical day. At €25, the pass costs about the same as two printed photos, but gives you unlimited access. Families and thrill-seekers get the most out of it.

If you’re only riding casually or don’t care about souvenirs, you might skip it. But for most visitors, the Photopass is one of the best-value extras Efteling offers.

Final Tip

If you’re not sure, add photos to the Efteling app throughout your visit. At the end of the day, decide if you want to buy the pass — that way, you only pay if you feel it’s worth it.
