Loved it!
Lots of food and rides, I'm not adventurous, so only went on the slow rides. Queue can be long, but not too bad (30-50 minutes).
Place opens at 9 and rides open at 10, so easy to get grab a coffee and relax before the rides.
90% of everything is in Dutch, so not fab as a British tourist, but the app you download is in English so easy to explore and enjoy.

Great theme park, specialy for the younger ones. They've got a great variety of fast and slow rollercoasters. Also the fairyforrest is great for kids. You can spend 3 nights in a cabin with 3 days of acces to the park for 150 p.p. That's a fair price! Covid-19 rules/guidelines are good and easy to follow.

A place to be with family and friends specially with your kids ! You need at least 2-3 days to see every part of the Efteling and trust me every second is worth it.
Always wait to see the water water show a magical show that you won't forget. The 4d cinema is interesting for kids I can write many but remember one thing :
Always take a extra telefoon charger with you because you will need it !! At half of the day you will be out of charge taking pictures and videos .

My favourite amusement park without a doubt. Attractions for all ages, ranging from calm and baby-friendly to wild and ideal for daredevils. The staff is ever friendly and accessible, very accommodating. Finally, the park contains a range of restaurants which offer typical junk food as well as healthy alternatives such as fruit salads.

It's the nicest and most adventiures parc there is, every attraction is done to the detail what makes the experience more real and complete. It's just as fun for the smallest children as for the adults. So make sure you visit the Efteling if you can, it's really worth it.

Great Theme Park...!!! If you're interested in Adventurous rides, go to the right side. Baron 1898 is a must to take ride. You can't see everything in one day. If you're a single rider then there is a separate line for that. So you can skip the long lines for the ride.

Do you want to experience the true magic of old folk and fairytales, all the while enjoying the beauty of nature all around you? Then the Efteling is the perfect place for you!
Small children will love it here, playing in the many playgrounds, bewondered by the depictions of classic fairytales and Efteling's own stories.
Teens and tweens might want to try the amazingly themed rollercoasters like the Baron 1898 dropcoaster and The splash coaster The Flying Dutchman.

All in all, a great family park full of wonder and magic, although all grounded in honest Dutch "gezelligheid".

If you are looking for fun for all age groups of kids and want to have some peace away from busy life, then Efteling is one of the place.

So caring staff, so many things to do in park and so safe.

We stayed in hotel with the park which had clean rooms with quality service.

Simply a beautiful dream...
Large parking place, clean park, wide range of activities for all the family.
Food and restaurant was also ok, but don t forget to bring some snacks with you
I was there in the middle a normal working day, that s way I didn t noticed and crowds out long waiting time. But I can say even going from morning to the evening will not let you enjoy all the park ... it s really huge and need more than one day....
This place has his own charms that you will not forget.

This dutch theme park is amazing for ALL ages. You ll find the huge fairytale forest with a bunch of cute little houses as well as a bunch of thrill rides that ll make your heart pump. This is (at least) a day of big fun for the whole family. If you want you can stay overnight in the hotel which is right next door. There s a large parking lot for which you ll pay 10.

Great place for children and others who might need to retrieve their childhooddays. Perfect location to stay with extensive family in their holiday resort with clean and well kept houses. Nice welcome gesture is the bottle of wine, which tasted well while sitting outside on the balcony while multicolored lights made the surroundings like a fairytale.

Wheelchair accessibility is great, personnel helpful and friendly! Loved this place when I didn't need a chair and am glad to report that I can still have an awesome day there now that I do. Beautiful fairytale theme park, many rides and things to do for kids of all ages including grown-up ladies in wheelchairs :)

Best day ever! This place absolutely puts all UK theme parks to shame. Awesome rides, great atmosphere, beautiful surroundings..... magical. My only criticism is that vegans, like us, are barely catered for otherwise I love it and can t wait to come back to the Netherlands for another visit! I soooo want to give it 5 stars but I m too hungry!

Fantastic theme park with lots to do for all ages - from the tranquil lake boat ride to the more exhilarating roller coasters, we truly enjoyed our visit. Only slight frustration was the poor management at the front of queues, where it can become a bit of a free for all in finding a free ride car. Good food options, nice environment, enjoyable shows, and plenty of fast and slow rides to enjoy. Well worth a visit - we hope to return.

Maybe I am 33 years old, so what? Efteling is nothing less than a magical place that we all wanted to visit in our days of youth. From the moment you start to approach the huge, enchanted entrance and you hear the music, you instantly transformed to what you always wanted to be! A hero of legend, a princess or a prince, a fairy or wizard, a knight or dwarf warrior! The rides are a bit small but well crafted, every little detail is well made with care, all the attractions have that unbelievable fairytale like vibe! A place that I strongly recommend for everyone to visit, especially people who always dreaming and want the life to have a touch of fantasy! Will be visiting again.

The ultimate Dutch themepark. The Netherlands' answer to Disneyland, complete with its own lore and mascots. Constantly expanding and renewing, this park offers something for all generations. Rollercoasters, rides and shows are all part of the package. Their website shows an indication how crowded it's going to be, if you are choosing a day to visit.

This place is absolutely fantastic. Great for kids, great for adults. Every thing is interactive with tremendous attention to detail. The live shows are magical. My son had a blast. I like that once you pay the entrance fee you can stay for as long as you want and have unlimited acces to any ride for as many times as you want. Spotless clean bathrooms and a lot of places to eat. I cannot recommend this place enough. Bring your kids here, they will love it! We needed 2 days to check the whole place out and enjoy most of the attractions. Any less than 2 day trip here will not be enough. I will definitely visit again with my family.

One of the best theme parks I ve ever visited. Clean, well organized and well laid out. Minimal queuing to enter the park, arriving early made sure the first few attractions we just walked onto. Come lunch time expect to wait between half an hour and 45 minutes to get on a ride. Plenty of places to eat dotted around the park and above all it s clean! Have a great day, you won t be disappointed!

One of the most beautiful, spectacular, cleanest amusement park in Europe. The Efteling is divided into various areas (oord), each with its own experience theme: adventure, thrills, fairy tales, etc. for everyone, from very young to old.

In the summer period this theme park is open longer and in the winter it becomes a real winter wonderland.

Definitely one of the best amusement parks in the Europe. The price is not to much for what we see and what we enjoy. Great for a group of friends or family.have some great roller coasters, and other attractions that worth to visit. If you understand Netherlands, you can hear the story about places in the park. At the end of the day you can assist to a wonderful water show about 10 minutes, and in my opinion, it is worth 100%. Highly recommend a visit.

The best amusement park the Netherlands has to offer. At a fraction of the costs for Disneyland (38 entry, 36 online, plus 10 for parking) this park will offer you more rides and a whole forest full of fairytales. Whether you like red riding hood, Pinocchio, or going on rides like the python and the flying Dutchman, the Efteling has it all. Doing all the rides in this park will take about two days, but luckily there's an option to stay at the magical hotel or one of the cottages. These will come with early entry to the park.

Rides are amazing. But due to current pandemic some of the rides are heavily throttled, like VHC that can take up to 15 people taking only single groups... like 3 people. Average que time on those goes from 40-70 minutes. Definitely worth visiting... but maybe next year.

We went here on my birthday (Christmas eve), and it was so magical! The rides are superb, and even though it was a chilly and windy day, most of them were working. Do not miss the 4D show, which is super cute. The water roller coaster is also amazing. But the highlight of the evening was the water show Aquanura in the evening. It is a must watch!

A very nice amusement park with lots of rides. And on some parts you can enter a kind of fairytale world. A fun place to spend with family and friends. It has a relax atmosphere. Clean and well maintained. With friendly and helpful staff. Don't miss to visit the fairy tale wood. We definitely had a fun day.

If you're used to Disneyland, Universal Studios and Six Flags type of theme parks, note that Efteling is the "European and magical" version that's catered more towards young children who aren't that into crazy rollercoasters yet. The rides are max. 2 min. long so it's over before you know it. I found the park itself quite nice, very relaxed compared to the other theme parks that I'm used to in the US.

De Efteling BV is a Dutch amusement park located in Kaatsheuvel, North Brabant. It is one of the oldest and most popular theme parks in Europe, attracting millions of visitors every year. The park covers an area of 72 hectares and features a wide range of attractions, including roller coasters, water rides, dark rides, shows, and fairy tale-themed areas.

The history of De Efteling dates back to 1935 when it was opened as a sports park with playgrounds and a tea house. However, it soon evolved into an amusement park with the addition of various attractions such as the Fairy Tale Forest (Sprookjesbos) in 1952. Since then, De Efteling has undergone several expansions and renovations to keep up with changing times while preserving its unique charm.

One of the main draws of De Efteling is its enchanting atmosphere that transports visitors to a world full of magic and wonder. The park's design is inspired by traditional Dutch architecture and folklore, creating a nostalgic ambiance that appeals to both children and adults alike.

One such ride is Baron 1898 - an immersive dive coaster that takes riders on a freefall drop from 37 meters high at speeds up to 90 km/hour! Another popular attraction is Python - one of Europe's largest roller coasters featuring multiple inversions over its track length.

For those who prefer more relaxed experiences can enjoy boat rides through Raveleijn or take part in interactive shows like Aquanura - an impressive water show featuring fountains synchronized with music & lights.

In addition to these attractions mentioned above; there are many other exciting things waiting for you at De Efteling!
