**Attractiepark Toverland** is an [amusement park](/source/Amusement_park) located in [Sevenum](/source/Sevenum), the [Netherlands](/source/Netherlands). It first opened in 2001 as an indoor [family entertainment centre](/source/Family_entertainment_center),[1] operated by the Gelissen Group. Toverland won the European Star Award for the Best Theme Park in 2018.[2] More recently,[when?] the park partially rebranded and added new attractions.

## Themed areas

Toverland is divided into six themed areas, two of which are situated indoors.

### Land van Toos

The Land van Toos is the original indoor area of the park. The attractions include the [Vekoma Junior Coaster](/source/Vekoma_Junior_Coaster) "Toos-Express," crossing through the building. The themed area is characterised by the many children's rides and [playgrounds](/source/Playground).

### Wunder Wald

Wunder Wald is an indoor area located in the same building as the Land van Toos with a ski theme. The area contains playgrounds, a [beer garden](/source/Beer_garden), and two attractions - a powered toboggan named "Maximus' Blitz Bahn" and Expedition Zork, a [log flume](/source/Log_flume_(ride)). Between 2015 and 2018 Wunder Wald was rebuilt as a theme area about alpine countries. Before that, Wunder Wald was called Magic Forest and did not have any decoration. The ride Maximus' Blitz Bahn was the first ride in the theme park with a background story and a themed queue.

### Ithaka

Ithaka is the original outdoor section of the park, themed to the Ancient Greeks. Ithaka contains three major rides including [Troy](/source/Troy_(roller_coaster)), a wooden coaster built by [Great Coasters International](/source/Great_Coasters_International). The area was originally simply named "Troy-Area" in reference to its largest attraction. It features a replica of the [Trojan Horse](/source/Trojan_Horse).

### Magische Vallei

The Magical Valley is themed as a fantasy land populated by 'Dwervels'. Major attractions in the area includes rollercoasters Dwervelwind and [Booster Bike](/source/Booster_Bike), a rapid river attraction, and several restaurants.

### Port Laguna

Opened in 2018, Port Laguna is the new entrance area of the park. The area is circle-shaped and features a [Mediterranean](/source/Mediterranean_Sea) theme with brightly coloured buildings containing shops, drink and food stores, a game gallery and an interactive show. Port Laguna contains no rides. The area was inspired by the entrance of [Disney's Animal Kingdom](/source/Disney's_Animal_Kingdom) and the theme area Port Entry of [Universal's Islands of Adventure](/source/Universal's_Islands_of_Adventure), with some notable differences, such as a curved main street.[3]

### Avalon

Avalon is the newest area in the park, opened in 2018. Based on the [Arthurian legend](/source/Arthurian_legend), the area includes the [Bolliger & Mabillard](/source/Bolliger_%26_Mabillard)-built wing coaster [Fēnix](/source/F%C4%93nix_(roller_coaster)) and the boat ride Merlin's Quest. In 2023, Avalon was expanded with a car ride and three flat rides.
