A New Era for Aquanura: The Tiesto Remix
Efteling, the Netherlands’ beloved fairytale theme park, is set to unveil a spectacular transformation of its iconic Aquanura fountain show in 2025. This revamped experience, known as the Tiësto Aquanura Fountain Show, promises to captivate audiences with a dynamic fusion of music, lights, and water choreography. Renowned Dutch DJ Tiesto brings his signature sound to this large-scale musical fountain, marking a significant evolution in theme park fountain shows.
Aquanura: A Legacy of Spectacle
Since its debut in 2012, Aquanura has held the title of Europe’s largest fountain show and the third largest globally, following the Dubai Fountain and the Fountains of Bellagio. Featuring 200 fountains, 800 lights, and nine distinct water effects, the show has been a cornerstone of Efteling’s nighttime water shows. The original performance paid homage to the park’s rich storytelling tradition, weaving together elements from various attractions into a cohesive water ballet.

The Tiësto Touch: A Musical Renaissance
The 2025 update introduces a fresh auditory experience with a new musical score crafted by Tiesto. This Tiesto music water show infuses the performance with contemporary energy, appealing to a broader audience while maintaining the enchanting atmosphere Efteling is known for. The collaboration signifies a harmonious blend of modern artistry and classic fairytale charm, elevating the show to new heights among iconic fountain shows.
Innovations in Fountain Technology
Efteling’s commitment to innovation is evident in the technological enhancements accompanying the musical overhaul. The introduction of four eight-meter-high “Beacons of Light” adds a new dimension to the visual spectacle, utilizing advanced lighting and water effects to create immersive fountain experiences. These upgrades position the Tiesto Aquanura Fountain Show at the forefront of fountain technology in Europe, setting a new standard for synchronized water shows.
Sustainability Meets Spectacle
In line with Efteling’s environmental goals, the 2025 show eliminates propane-based fire effects, reducing the park’s carbon footprint. The transition to LED lighting and the integration of a heat and cold storage system (WKO) for the Aquanura pond exemplify the park’s dedication to sustainable practices. These measures contribute to Efteling’s ambition to become climate-neutral by 2030 and climate-positive by 2032, demonstrating that entertainment and environmental responsibility can coexist.
Enhancing the Visitor Experience
The Tiesto Aquanura Fountain Show is more than a visual and auditory delight; it’s a strategic enhancement of Efteling’s overall guest experience. Located near the forthcoming Efteling Grand Hotel, the show serves as a central attraction, drawing visitors into the heart of the park. The combination of cutting-edge technology, captivating music, and sustainable design ensures that this performance will be a highlight among Dutch fountain shows and a must-see for visitors seeking immersive fountain experiences.
