This article about how the park came to be is my favourite piece of travel writing (it's why we went): https://spikejapan.wordpress.com/2011/01/23/huis-ten-bosch-o...
How much of your enjoyment was based on the meta (its history, surrealism, copying the Dutch, etc.) and how much was it being genuinely fun?
And I’ll be sure to head to Huis ten Bosch next time I’m in the area. I think soaking in the echo of everything it is, was meant to be, and did not become, will be a real treat.
