Efteling is a surprisingly big and awesome theme park. We weren't sure what to expect, since we're mostly used to Disney parks. This is like Disneyland but with a lower budget for attractions and more areas of natural, foresty beauty. The attractions are really charming and unique (not all just Disney rip offs like some theme parks) with a definite preference towards dark rides over thrilling rides. The Baron 1898 coaster was fantastic with an incredible drop and cool theming though it was very short. Fata Morgana is kind of like Pirates of the Caribbean crossed with Sinbad. Dream Flight is a very unique dark ride that was cute and would be good for kids who really like fairies. Villa Volta is fun and surprising, and Carnaval Festival is like their version of It's a Small World. The food in the park isn't that great so don't have high expectations there. Oh, and the show Caro is great, I highly recommend it. Overall, don't expect the same kind of quality as Disneyland but Efteling has its own charm and magic. We were pleasantly surprised by it. We stayed at the Efteling hotel which was a nice experience and very convenient for the park. I recommend staying only one night and getting the two day park tickets.
