De Efteling BV

Its an amazing place that feels magical the rides are out of this world the waiting lines aren't long with an amazing system for both groups and solo riders, the theme is clearly shown and makes it feel like you're in a difrent universe the only down side I see is that consumables are really overpriced

Spent New year's there and there are more rides than I could count

This is a fantastic theme park with world class rides. It is very big and would need two days if you want to go on all the rides

Most atmospheric theme park out there if you ask me

Covid has affected the numbers at the park, which helped in waiting lines. Loved it, not flashy like Disney parks, lots of character, enough stuff for older teenages. Stayed in Efteling hotel at the park, very convenient to walk to the park & nice hotel. Even the slow white boat ride around the lake was enjoyable.

For a grand day out (or two) do visit #efteling in lovely Netherlands. A modern theme park with lots of shady walkways, fountains and suprising views. All well maintained, new attractions and historic (boat) rides alike. Latter, also suitable for ages 2+. When it comes to boats, the lake tour was a bit too long, but still nice. The #baron1898 rollercoaster is a (very) short but freefall experience. #Symbolica castle a must. Fairytale park is enchanting, if you like #animatronics. Food prices are moderate - fair, considering 40 pP entrance fee. #eftelingpark

Amazing place suitable for all ages, amazing rides with one word magical place

Rides were closed due to the weather (a bit of drizzle / a bit of ice, nothing they can really do about it though) but the ticket prices are ridiculous for the amount of things you can actually do. Rides seem outdated without any actual maintenance (painting etc). Really nice fairytale forest though.

Beautiful. I would definitely recommend this place.

Always a magical experience. Food is great, great updating on waiting times when you use the app and overall a magical childhood favorite.

Really magical! Everyone on earth should get a chance to visit at least once in their lifetime. I have been twice during warmer weather and this was my fiesr Winter visit. No good time to visit the Efteling - ANY time is a good time!

Efteling is always great. Fun, beautiful, friendly staff, decent food, ...
Some great rollercoasters.
Symbolica is amazing.

Still the most beautiful theme parc in Europe. The mix between the rides and the surrounding nature makes you think it came right out of a fairytale! And it is suitable for all ages, so in short a great day doe everyone!

Efteling is a perfect theme park for bott Children and adults with Amazing scenery and great attention to detail and theming When it comes to the entire park.

Really enjoyed it. For young and old. Didnt wait longer then 25 minutes for a rider and it was a busy day

This was a brilliant and well organised place to take the extended family for a special stay. We were there two nights and it wasn't long enough! Plenty for all ages to see and do.
The package stay included unlimited entry to the park and car parking. The food we bought at Panorama was excellent and reasonably priced. Otherwise we self catered. Quite a few attractions were not operating as it was the winter season, but there was more than enough to keep all entertained.

Best amusement I've ever seen. You'll enjoy in each step you go in this amazing place

On the 01.12.2019 we visited winter efftelling. Beauful and enorme busy. But cannot complain it is our misstake to buy the tickets when there is an company event. Some people pushed us away with the comment that it is our day public shouldn't be here. As the flags said Essent So I think those people from Essent. One thing I didn't like. Lots of people misuse the single ride option. Other than the day was fantastic. So my tip for the people who is going to book tickets skip the days what shows as company events. There are reasonable places to eat every place has different price. But you can choose something fits your pocket.

The Efteling is often referred as The Netherlands best theme park. It is always amazing and even enchanting from time to time. With 7 rollercoasters there's a lot of thrill seeking to be found while the 'Droomvlucht', the Fata Morgana and the fairly new 'Symbolica' will take you to a fairy tale world. And that's only a fraction of what the park offers. It is the largest theme park in The Netherlands and as such has excellent secondary facilities like restaurants, restrooms and a huge parking lot. It is the most expensive theme park but also the best to spend a whole day, both for younger kids as adults. Due to its popularity, waiting times can be extensive; sometimes over 45 minutes. The summer opening times though, up to 11pm will surely compensate for this. Please like this review if useful. Thank you.

Exceptional theme park. A must-visit for every person in the Netherlands.

The rides are amazing and the park is awesome and beautiful but the lines are insanely long and it is very frustrating to wait an hour for every ride and not have a fast lane option

Ideal locations to spend on a sunny day with family or friends. I advise you to visit Efteling during weekdays to avoid long waiting lines. Also application is helpful to orientate yourself within the park and be informed of waiting time for each attraction.

We had a blast and would have loved to stay longer. Efteling is an awesome Park for the whole Family. The Rides, the food, the Staff, the Shops and everything in between was just awesome. You do not have to wait for hours to get on a Ride. And on top, the Parking is a dream. There will be a second time for us for sure.

Beautiful amusement park, the legends part is a must. Very short waiting times compared to Disneyland Paris. Fun rollercoasters!

I am a theme park enthusiast so Efteling has been on my hit list for a while. Finally I managed to get myself there for the day and I wasn't disappointed.

The theme park has a fairy tale theme which had lead me to put it off but upon visiting I realized that Efteling is anything but exclusively for children. big thrills can be had amongst the family rides and some of them (Symbolica) give Disney a run for their money.

Theming is excellent throughout and the entire park is set against an enchanting music score with each individual ride featuring it's own foot tapping tune. It's details like this that set Efteling apart from the crowd and adds to the immersive experience.

Efteling is a world class themepark that will take a whole day or more to explore.

The only reason why I didn't give 5 stars is because the food was very expensive and utterly terrible (the best meal we had was when they dolloped some sweet and sour sauce on some noodles and chucked it in the microwave). Forget the Nacho's, wraps and panini. Come on Efteling I thought you would be bucking the trend?... but alas thankfully this is the only thing Efteling gets wrong so all is forgiven.

Must visit place for the all family.
In the low season (September, Thursday) lines are not so big - about 10-15 min per attraction. So we were able to visit all what we want.

Truly amazing experience high quality theme park without the over ruling commercialization from being connected with movies

Very good altogether, and great for all the family, and well worth the money, and staying for the weekend.

I find it difficult to put in words just how bad this was

The attention to detail, the care and commitment of staff is outstanding. Every trip to the Efteling and Bosrijk is refreshing and fun!

Wonderful place full of fairytale magic. In winter there is a lot of beautiful lighting that more than makes up for the early nightfall.

What a great excursion/attraction for the whole family. Children will love it. Try to pick a calm day since waiting for a attraction can be a bit frustrating.

Nice place but lines are really bad with zero staff overseeing it. No fast pass, which is really bad for tourists with limited time.

Great for kids. Didn't have time to do everything in a day but overall great experience. All my Dutch relatives knew this classic Dutch theme park. Not too much waiting time when we went but I'm sure it's very different in the summer. The restaurants inside are overpriced obviously though. A shame it closes so early (6pm).

Pros: This park is almost like fairytale world has come alive. Nicely themed areas, thrilling rides, many options for people from all age groups. Easily accessible by bus and car.

Cons: Food options are not so great and a bit expensive. Waiting time is high during summer and especially on weekends.

Beatifully presented amusement park and according to 11 and 14 old kids perfect roller coasters. Friendly service everywhere also for English speakers. Thumbs up for the numerous points of refreshments and snacks aside proper meals.

Amazing and relaxing. My granddaughter (3,5 years) likes it, especially the fairytale forest

The best theme park in the Netherlands (in my opinion) It is great for young and old. There is a fairytale forest and also a part with all kinds of attractions such as a roller coaster etc. Suitable for children from 5-6 years. Walk a lot. Beautiful in a wooded area. My favorite is definitely "Dream Flight". Especially don't compare with Disneyland. This is much older and more authentic! Be aware entry is not cheap. Sometimes you have discount coupons.

Good range of rides not as crowded on weekdays. Good for young kids.. And adults alike.

This was the best place i had ever been. It was amazing. Things to do for all the family. Friendly staff and really nice cabins. I would honestly give this 100 stars and would definitely recommend to anybody looking for family holidays.

Very good amusement/theme park for every age and continuously improving year on year with new and or upgrading facilities and attractions.

Big thumbs up for the personal which is either very good in character and or very hospitable.

Amazing place! Well managed, lovely friendly staff.

Great theme park, particularly good for younger children. Friendly, helpful staff too. Would be helpful if there was more seating in the queue areas for those that find standing especially in the heat rather tiresome.

Fun park, not too busy. Nice setting, nice mix of commercial and natural stuff for a theme park. COVID restrictions are pretty well enforced with markings and screens in lineups. Reduced capacity on rides and smaller crowds seem to cancel each other out.

Fantastic amusement park. It has a very nice fairy tale vibe. As an adult I really enjoyed it. The waiting lines can be really long. The food there is all very unhealthy and fried.

Good amusement park, coasters are fun and exciting. Lines were not too long, water rides were not overly wet (didn't get soaked which is nice), park is very unique, themed areas are very detailed. The food is ok, expensive as expected. They "don't allow drugs" however they don't check your bags at the entrance so...

I adore the Efteling! Such a beautiful park with amazing * inventive attractions. I visited many times throughout my childhood and always loved Pandadroom. A great place for adults too however & a variety of thrilling rides

Clean, well kept, unusual theme, good range of food, great rides, everything accessible and the staff were all as upbeat, polite and helpful as you could wish - the usual immense queues. For the children, the highlight of our holiday.

Best theme park in the Netherlands, for young and old! Great tip, if your car is electric/hybrid, you can park all the way at the front of the park by the entrance to charge your car (saves you from having to walk far to your car)!

Liked it better than Disney. Friendlier and pleasant atmosphere.

Amazing place to visit with diverse rides and an overall great experience with lots of green and phantasy. A must see for the lover of old fairytales.

Efteling is a great place to bring family and friends. You can go alone, or with a big group. There are big rollercoasters that make you scream the loudest you ever have, and there are nice slow rollercoasters. You can find everything. A very magical place with a great story behind it.

Nice themed park, enjoyable for children and adults alike.

Very good organized in a bad virus period, many attractions should be visited again. We'll be back!

So much to do for kids and adults. They took some great precautions during this covid outbreak. I can highly recommend it to all family's. Tickets can be a bit high, but with a bit of luck you can find some discounts.

TL;DR fun parc, great for families

Magical. Loved all of the rides especially the Python and the glow in the dark one. Great for special occasions like birthdays.. Makes one feel a lot younger than they are. Why should kids have all the fun?

Amazing family experience! There is something around every corner of the park and it is truly magical. You need longer than a day to explore everything, wish we had more time! Don't get me wrong though, fantastic day, we went mid summer on an overcast / slightly raining day - glad we did, missed any queues for anything and sailed through everything we went on. Maximum waiting time was 10 mins

A lot of fun, but tickets are expensive. The food is average compared with the price you pay for it. Long queues in summer.

A very fun Disneyland like Park in Holland. Many fun rides and fun snacks to eat. They have everything from Fantasy character meet-and-greets to roller coasters. My favorite ride was the bobsled ride it's a very smooth roller coasters type ride. I would definitely recommend if you're going to be in the area well worth a visit.

1 day is not enough. Even if the park is quiet. Would advise to stay a night in the hotel. Very fun park, good breakfast. Would go there way more often if possible.

Huge park. Same quality as Disney. Plenty of attractions for everyone.

Lovely big theme park with wonderful fairytale area as well as the usual rides. Go midweek out of Dutch school holidays and avoid the crowds. Good choice of well priced eateries on site. Great show too, in Dutch with headsets available for other languages.

Must see by all means. If you love fairy tales you'll be in paradise. If you love rides, you'll have a day of head-over-heel fun there. WEAR CONFORTABLE SHOES! You'll be walking for hours. This place is a country in itself. It's huge!

It was one of the most magical Valentine's Day one can have.

It is so good! Such an amazing place! Please do yourself a favour and go!

I can honestly say that we recently experienced the best holiday I have ever had! Efteling is just fantastic. The Rides, staff, site, accommodation, food are all just truly wonderful. I really want to go back already. I have visited Disneyland Paris 3 times and I would genuinely go back to Efteling over Disney every time. Thank you so much for our amazing stay Efteling team! :-)

Visited de Efteling 4 days with family. We stayed at bosrijk. We had a really great time. Wait times for the different rides were acceptable, we never had to wait more than 50 minutes.

A nice experience for the whole family! The kids will love all the fairy tales and story based attractions and for the adults I recommend the various roller coasters. There is enough possibility for food and refreshments and even during the COVID19 pandemic there is a good balance between safety and enjoyment.

It's perfect in every way. The music is dope and it's on Spotify!

It's an amazing place for young and old and everyone in between loads to see and do.

Unforgettable experience. Nice and clean environment is just a base. Top professional crews with understanding of childs expectations gave everybody feeling that they are the most important important at this moment and this place. Efteling obviously bet on worging with right people's. And that is important. The little or bigger clients are in contact with people's and not with a company. Different kinds of meal is also important and good idea. And don't forget: the fairytales are present everywhere, different kind - what is important for children's and understanding of different emotions and feelings.
Andersen's The little match girl is like a diamond. Sad but gorgeous. I will come back again to come marvel.

You can't go on all the rides in one day! There are just so many - the dare-devil ones and the easy ones. Don't forget to take a boat ride to see the ducks on the lake. And the park is very clean. It was worth the money.

The not so good: Understaffed on peak days
Hours of waiting lines, even for lunch!

Early Access for efteling hotel guests: you get locked behind a gate until the official opening times so day guests have faster access than hotel guests, to the major rides

Months later my children are still seeing that theme song over and over from the knight show. We have to talk about donuts like every other week. Let's just say this place is good

Still an awesome park but expensive. Seems to be deteriorating with a lessening care for detail in recent years while prices keep rising.

Great amusement park. Not every attraction was open, but that was to be expected. Lots to do for thrill seekers or as a family
One starr less for tje bland food

What a spectacular place! Recommend so highly visiting either on a day trip or an over night stay! We stayed for 2 nights in Loonshe Land (includes breakfast and park tickets).
It exceeded all of our expectations, I loved it!
Magical and beautifully designed and grounds kept. Feels like you are actually in an old enchanted city the entire time. The buildings are not just fronts/ facades but real beautiful castles/ gnome houses etc.
Rides are well designed and plenty of new and old rides for repeat visits.
Prices in the park are great value - much cheaper than you would expect. Snack machines, sweets and ice cream stands, restaurants all great value and good quality!
We look forward to returning again!
