We went as we were encouraged by out Dutch friends and family to go. This is a place that holds special memories for many. I was hesitant at first but by going with a seasoned group, I felt better about the experience. It was a rainy day and some attractions close. However the rides we did get to go on were fun. This was considered a quiet day and wait times on the popular rides were between 30 minutes to 60 minutes. I would avoid it during peak times. They are quite strict on the height restrictions. Some have a 110 cm, 120 cm and 140 cm height restriction. There is a cheaper way to get the tickets than advertised but you will need to be on the Dutch version of NH international site and have a Dutch bank account to pay with. Someone did this for us and it includes transport costs to the area. We got off at Tilburg station and we were not able to get on a bus (runs every 15 minutes) as it was full. We ended up taking a taxi which cost us euro 45. That was the down side of the day was being able to get there. We stayed over night at a hotel nearby called guest house hotel kaatsheuv which was very good. It can be a costly day. Dutch attendees usually packed bread, cheese slices and ham slices (from the super market) to bring along which saves a bit of money. Overall worth a visit but plan ahead.
