​You can also ask to look after Yoo-hoo the owl for the duration of your stay. 

 Yoo-Hoo has a few preferences 
- He would like to stay home to look after your accomedation while you're in the Efteling
- You don't have to feed him
- He doesn't like to get in the shower
- He enjoys playing games with you and listening to your stories about the Efteling
- He likes to sleep in his own bed as it's very cosy and warm
- He would like to return to Reception at the end of his stay and they may give you something for looking after him so well. 
​
After you've returned him you can write your experiences in the special diary so that Yoo-Hoo will never forget your time together.
