Sprookjeswonderland Enkhuizen / Bucketlist

Sprookjeswonderland Enkhuizen / Bucketlist Sprookjeswonderland is a theme park in Enkhuizen, which is entirely dedicated to fairy tales. In the park, various fairy tales are depicted by means of (moving) dolls and houses. There are also several attractions to be found, which are also all dedicated to different fairy tales. Sprookjeswonderland was founded in 1973. The founder and also director of the park, Wim de Vries, made a gnome doll for fun at the time. Due to this success, new dolls were soon built. In the beginning, the dolls travelled over tourist markets in the inner city of Enkhuizen. In 1981 there was a lot of expansion and there was a gnome village, a petting zoo and playground, all in the Wilhelminaplantsoen on the northeast side of the old town. In the late 80s, local residents complained about the crowds and the waste. [1] In 1991 it really became too crowded and there was no place to expand. It has moved to the recreation resort of Enkhuizen, which is located on the other side of the Zeemuur, on the outskirts of the city and almost directly on the IJsselmeer. It is centrally located in the Enkhuizerzand recreation area. In 2009 and 2010, a new entrance building with reception square was built. The park is mainly aimed at families with young children, because it is these children who are most attracted to fairy tales. The fairy tales can often be seen in separate houses, occasionally covered. Around 2014, the park attracted about 250,000 visitors annually. [2]
