Theme Park Toverland welcomed the one-millionth visitor during Christmas.
It is the first time the theme park had welcomed so many visitors in one season.
The millionth visitor passed through the entrance gates of Toverland at 11:29 am, who was Pien Polman (9 years old) from Voorburg in the Netherlands.
Waiting to welcome her and her family while holding a cheque, champagne and flowers were Stephan Satijn, a member of the Provincial Executive of Limburg, and Jean Gelissen jr., the general director of Toverland. The Polman family was also given a whole year of free access to the theme park.
“How cool! We are completely surprised”, said father Hilco. “It brings even more fun to our day!”
All visitors are able to celebrate this magical highlight together when Toverland treats them to a special firework display in Port Laguna later this evening.
“We are so incredibly pleased and proud that we’ve welcomed more than one million visitors this year”, says Jean Gelissen jr.
“A dream we held as a family business ever since we opened on 19 May 2001. Thanks to a huge expansion that we carried out in 2018, this special moment came closer and closer and now, after a few difficult corona years, we can celebrate a wonderful victory that we achieved with our entire Toverteam!”
Despite closures due to the pandemic and visitor limits, Toverland still welcomed 717,500 visitors. An increase of 34% compared to 2020.
The last visitor record dates back to 2019 when the fast-growing park had the pleasure of welcoming 862,000 guests.
