Day out
Have a question about your booking, e-tickets or one of our day trips? You will find the answer here quickly. Choose your topic below or contact our Customer Service directly.
New! Starting prices for the best day outs
NS Dagje Uit (formerly Spoordeelwinkel) now offers flexible pricing. There is no longer a single fixed price per day out. The price is based on your route, so where you get on and off. That way you pay for the distance you travel. The shorter your journey, the lower the price.
This makes choosing a day out even more attractive. If you board at Eindhoven station to travel to the Efteling, the price will be lower than if you travel from Zwolle to the Efteling. The discount applies during off-peak hours, including at the weekend. Use the ‘Bestel nu’ button to easily calculate the price of your favourite day out.
Take the train for the best day outs!
