Amazing themepark for all ages. For the little kids there is the fairytail wood with all your favorite characters. For the older ones there are several rollercoasters. The newest one being the Baron 1878 with a free fall of 39 meters. And for family rides this is the perfect theme parks as well!

One of the best amusement parks I have ever been to. The kids had lots of fun. It isn't too big and you can do all the good rides in one day. It is less international than the Disney parks, which means you won't hear a lot of English, but if you are open minded that should not be a problem as everyone is super nice.

Nice theme park.
The negative about the park is that because i am not dutch and the language that they use to tell the story is dutch language.

It will be better of they can provide a headset for foreign visitor as well so they can understand what is the story behind the attraction or the story that they tell in the introduction of the attraction.

They also have a fairy tale with some wax doll such as cinderella but the whole story is in dutch language. You better have a local friend to translate for you

The most enchanting and magical place. Was so lovely here. Nothing was expensive. Gift shops reasonably priced. With kids meals in restaurants they all seemed to have some free thing like a torch or a bowl swap so swap your child's dirty bowl for a clean melamine one to keep! The magical forest was fabulous and took up a lot of time so we saved half for the last day. Lots of rides for young children. Lots of experiences as well as rides. Loads of food and drink places. Beautiful surroundings, well kept gardens with beautiful flowers, will be even prettier in the early summer. Lots of ducks but no litter, duck poo, few pigeons and no sea gulls like you'd find in England.

Even the music was really lovely and enchanting.

Was very clean and lots of bins all over. The staff were so very friendly and all staff spoke amazing English everywhere.

Great service, and a truly lovely place to go for all ages. Would highly recommend. X

Amazing theme park. Had such a good day and it has a great mix of rides and attractions for different ages. Our two, aged 7 and 9, had the best day. Perfect for got weather too, we went when it was 40C and the hottest day on record, but there is loads of shade. Also pretty good value cafes and restaurants considering it's a theme park. We'll be back one day I hope.

This park is amazing! The rollercoasters are so much fun and not scary. The setting is enchanting. There are so many fine details in every corner, even in waiting lines, that you cannot notice everything. There are many options for food, but in order to save time and money I would recommand to bring some sandwiches and snacks.

Excellent theme park with great lore for each ride. As much care is given about the rides as their surroundings. The park is situated in a beautiful Forrest that is obviously taken care of by a team of professionals. Every single one of the stf I spoke with was extremely friendly and helpful.

The theme park is very well designed and beautifully maintained. They have a very handy app which is useful for giving information and current wait time for each ride / attraction as well as a map which can help you navigate the park. The theatre show Ravelijn and the water show are not to be missed

We went with our 2 year old boy thinking that there was not much to do for a child. And luckily we were wrong. It's very child friendly. All toilets have a changing room. Also not inside the ladies room so daddy can also change the diapers. The music was pleasant and not loud or noisy.almost Everything us accessible with the buggy . Prices in the restaurants and stores are reasonable. More than enough places to sit and eat or have a drink. Needless to say my family.had a great time. One tip though you can buy the parking ticket on the way in so that you don't have to stand in line on the way out . Thanks efteling for making our visit so pleasant

A quirky but great day out at Efterling Theme Park. Theming at this park is incredible and strange all in one go. A walk through their fairy tale forest gave me the creeps but worth it for the laughs. Some of the rides are a bit dated but still a great day out! Make sure you eat at the pancake House, for amazing pancakes and a unique experience!

Very large amusement park. The rides are 30 percent adult rides like roller coasters and 70 percent kids themed. You will find something there for everyone. We went on a weekday so there are less lines and we managed to do about 10 rides in one full day. If you are hungry, the foods selection is okay but not good.

Efteling was one of the most charming amusement parks my sister and I have been at. We're from America and have visited Disney World and Disneyland, but Efteling has a unique charm. We liked the fairytale forest the most, it was so cool to see the various renditions of fairytales (some of which we have never heard of before) and the displays were all very beautifully constructed and fun for all ages! We could've spent at least 2.5 hours in the fairytale forest but had to leave sooner because of park closing. We also had lunch at the pancake restaurant, which had laughably large straws and delicious pancakes!

Apart of the fact that they paint pigeons with flashy colors, which could be considered animal cruelty, or the presence, still, of an amusement ride that feature elements that could be considered racist; the park is a lovely place to spend the day: staff are very welcoming and nice, amusement rides are well planned. You can find entertainment for kids and adults. All in all, recommended

Such a magical place, a great experience if you have children or the imagination of one! The fairytale theme is really well done especially with all of the Anton Pieck artwork. In the winter, they have all these fire pits with fresh stroopwaffels and hot chocolate! The rides are magical and the attention to detail is exquisite.
