Hoe kom ik er?

Public transport

Of course the Mystery Land organization would like to promote public transport. It’s safe, fast and environmentally conscious, and NS has arranged for more trains to run during the festival. Mystery Land is easiest to reach from Hoofddorp train station. A shuttle bus service will run between Hoofddorp and the festival area. The first shuttle buses leave on Saturday morning at 10:00. The last shuttle buses leave an hour and a half after the end of the festival.

Just a few tips to make sure you get home alright after the festival:

Find out as much as you can about your travel options and times. You can find the necessary information at www.9292ov.nl.
Make sure you leave Mystery land on time so you don’t miss your last connecting train or bus. Allow for a travelling time of about 45 minutes from the festival to Hoofddorp train station.

You can also request travel information by calling 0900 – 9292 (€0.70 p/m).

Naturally, for those of you who prefer travelling by car there is plenty of parking space. The parking areas are open from 9:00. Follow the directions given by our Mystery Land crew members so everything goes smoothly and quickly. Park in the indicated areas. Wrongfully parked cars will be towed. To prevent traffic jams on the access roads we advise you to come as early as possible and avoid the peak hours between 12:00 and 14:00.

Getting dropped off and picked up

If someone is driving you to the festival or picking you up afterwards, it’s a good idea to get dropped off at the Hoofddorp train station instead. There are shuttle buses running between the station and Mystery Land. Hoofddorp is easy to reach from the A4, exit Hoofddorp. It’s best to get picked up here again later as well. In this way, you prevent delays due to traffic jams and you can stay at the festival as long as possible.
If you prefer being dropped off or picked up at the festival itself, an area at P-Noord has been designated to that end. Please keep in mind that you will most likely be stuck in traffic for some time, especially when leaving the area.
