Archipel, Water playground in Efteling, Netherlands
Archipel features interactive water elements and nautical-themed structures across multiple play zones designed for children of different age groups.
The attraction opened in February 2022, replacing the previous Avonturen Doolhof maze that operated in the same location for many years.
The maritime theme of Archipel connects with Dutch naval traditions, incorporating elements that reflect the Netherlands' strong connection to seafaring.
Visitors should bring swimwear and towels, as the water playground operates from spring through fall with temperature-controlled water features.
The playground includes specialized water jets that create patterns synchronized with music, allowing children to interact with water choreography.
