Efteling is a park for the family. Huge theme park with multiple areas. Some attractions are more theme based than others, but even if they are a bit random, the park succeed in connecting them somewhat.
The biggest attractions are the Mediaval show Ravelein, that was closed due to "technical issues" but a trip to the restaurant overseeing the venue clearly showed that the show stage was dug up and was not going to host a show for several days.
The spectacular water show at the entrance was also cancelled due to technical reasons.

The bad things asside, you will not find a more wild wooden coaster as "Joris and the dragon".
A well-themed 2 track racing roller coaster with a goal system that reward the winning team.

Also the Flying Dutchman is an intense darkride ending in a outdoor rollercoaster and a splash into the adjacent lake.

Most of the park are based on fairytale from different authors giving the park a variety of different options.
A fun take on the Emporor's new clothes is found in the fairytale woods where some hours can be spent reliving a lot of H.C. Andersen's and other writers fairytales.

The variance in food offers are okay. A lot of traditional netherlandish deep fry snacks, but also fish and chips, wraps and restaurant plates are to be found in the park.

There is no fast pass solution, so prepare to queue. The waiting time for each ride can be found in the app and are somewhat correct.
Use the single rider queues if possible for some of the major rides as wait time may be up to 60 minutes on some popular rides.

Staying at the Efteling hotel will give you both reserved parking (included in the room price) and a 30 minute early entrance to the park. This will give you a chance to go front row on rides like the Baron, that else may be a heavy queue.

Some rides have preshows before entering the actual ride, others have themed waiting lines.

The park is for both young, teens and above, and has a bit of everything. Don't expect to try all trill rides in one day.
