About the event
During Magische Kerst, Plopsaland is decked out for the season and, for the first time, runs a winter version of its parade, the Plopsa Christmas Parade, with thousands of lights, Christmas music and the Studio 100 characters. The new show 'Maya's Toy Story' tells a Christmas tale with Maya the Bee and the Christmas gnome's helpers, and children can meet the gnome on Plopsaland Plaza. The park opens on Wednesdays and weekends until 16 December, then daily from 19 December to 3 January, 11 am–6 pm; on 31 December it stays open until 10 pm for Kids New Year's Eve. In very cold weather some rides may close for part of the day. Tip: buy a dated ticket online – Wednesdays outside the holidays and Christmas Day are the cheapest.
