Picture this: you’re wandering through the whimsical paths of Efteling, exploring enchanting realms, and hopping from one thrilling ride to another. The adrenaline, the awe, the endless steps, all of it makes you thirsty. In many theme parks, that would mean buying expensive bottled water again and again. But not in Efteling! The park, known for its unique fairy-tale atmosphere, also cares about its visitors’ comfort. That’s why you’ll find free, high-quality tap water at various points throughout the park. In this guide, we’ll show you exactly where to find these Efteling water tap points — so you can stay refreshed without spending extra money.

Why refill your bottle in Efteling?

  • 💧 Save money: bottled water in theme parks can be pricey.

  • 🌍 Better for the environment: bring your own refillable bottle instead of buying plastic.

  • Safe and delicious: Dutch tap water is among the highest quality in the world.
