De Efteling BV Reviews

Clean, well maintained and plenty of attractions. Worth it!

Best place on Earth x watch Starzia Travels Efteling vlogs to find out why!

Very nice theme park. If you visit the Netherlands you have to go to De Efteling.

It was a grand expierence! In comparison to Disney, the Park is based on fairy tales from the Brothers Grimm and Dutch folklore. Some if the rides are quite thrilling but there enough rides to calm the stomach in between. Would visit again.

Amazing place to bring the family and friends. Superb design, fun rides, beautiful atmosphere. Well worth the trip for anyone looking for a phenomenal theme park in Western Europe.

Fairytale magic! Amazing place, such a lovely ambience. It's fun for small and big!

First went there as a toddler and 35 years later I'm still loving it, as does my toddler...
The fairytales, the rollercoasters, the food, the athmosphere, the service and workers at the park... brilliant. If you're in the vicinity, don't forget to drop by.

An all time great amusement park for small as well as big kids. With our boys of 5 and 13 it was very clear and obvious. Fairy woods/ Sprookjesbos was a very important area fro the younger one while the elder could keep him busy in all the wild stuff.

The best theme park I have ever been to. Absolutely loved it. We can't wait to go back again.

It's been 12 years since I've visited the Efteling and it is still an amazing place. The new attraction Symbolica is beautiful. Not to forget to mention the awesome rides for older kids. The rollercoasters are very good. My personal favourite was the Baron. Try to get the front row seat. It is worth it! The fries are susprisingly very tasty. And of course the fairytale forest remains amazing and purely nostalgic.

Very good,very organized, everywhere theirs gel for disinfecting your hands.

Absolutely mind blowing. I recommend ages 4+ to really make the best of it.
A fairy tale come true.

Awfully crowded , not enough toilets by far , it s a misery how comes management doesn t see this .

Lovely day for adults and kids, you will need the full 8 hours to finish almost everything in the park, so make sure to come on its opening time 10 am. Install their mobile app before you come, so you can know the show times and arrange your day properly.

Wonderful and very fun Park. Whith a few good roller-coasters

Great place to have a whole day of fun, give It a go, you won't regret It.

It is really a fairytale, but maybe to provide more support for English and German language to. Also everything seems to be very expressive, starting with the tickets...

Nice Park very big, more suitable for kids than adults. Beautiful views.

Awesome! Well maintened ... ticket is a bit pricey but is worth it!

One of the best places you can enjoy your time and make many memories with your family and your friends. Because of my majority (neuroscience) and the complication of nervous system , we know I enjoyed illusive room. This game is playing with some important nervous system soldiers; hearing, balance, optic, superficial and deep positional sensation. Go and enjoy it.
One of the other games I liked was he'll and heaven.

Extremely hyped. Does not live up to the name. Takes some time to reach here. And it is generally crowded. The main USP of this park, the Enchanted Forest, is the biggest disappointment. There were parts of that park where the ponds were stinking so bad it felt like a loo. Ticket price is also high. Definitely not worth the money or time.

Supergreat full of wild attractions, but also suitable if you aren't into those. Fairytale forest is just amazing and full of good nostalgy for any Dutch/Belgian person.also when they are now 65. You can spend a few days if you want to see it all and even in the most crowded days the park is so spacious it still has air (ok...not when you want to cue for an attraction.) Take the small ones and the big ones. There are stories and takes for everyone! The homemade stories are also really nice (Symbolica, Land van Laaf, Raveleijn...)

Efteling is and will always be the best themed park in the Netherlands

A very nice place to visit, so ideal for the families with kids as there's a lot to see especially the Fairytale forest. The Disneyland of the Netherlands!

Nice place, but be aware of the line, you can wait quite long time for the attraction, rigid 1.20cm for most of it.....but a very nice day out, price is worth the day

Great for a day trip outside of Amsterdam! Some really good rides and nice to explore. It was low season so there was practically no queues and affordable.

The Efteling! Pricey to get inside, but an experience like no other. Once a huge nature park, it added features of West European fairy tails and then all sorts of rides and now it's a fully fledged theme park. For real daredevils there's the tallest dead-drop ride in, I think Europe? But I prefer fast rides that are (mostly) in the dark, such as the bird one.

There are slow rides that, instead of a physical thrill, fill you with mental wonder because it showcases dreamlike scapes with fairy tail creatures.

During school holidays, the weekends tend to be calmer.

I had a lot of fun with a friend, and even the queuing wasn't too bad because of mini entertainmentd along the way (although still my least favourite part, obviously).

It's family friendly for even literal babies up to adults. Well, depends on the adult, but I loved it.

My favourite place in Europe. Got so much to offer for all ages and tastes. Good time guaranteed. Can't wait till I come back again.

Awesome theme park with multiple days worth of fun for young and old.

Best theme park. Nice fairy tale theme. Quit expensive. Large, so a lot of walking between the rides. Fairy tail forest for the little ones and a lot of rides.

Well designed, clean and very authentic amusement park.

Efteling is an outstanding nice park. We want to thank the incredibly nice and always friendly employees there. Also the park seems to be maintained pretty well, as it is in a good condition. Finally Efteling has a really welcoming atmosphere and we enjoyed the woods inside the park. So lovely!
We hope that this park has the best years still in front of it! Outstanding! Superb! Really really good!

Best stay-in to enjoy it properly. There is so much to see and so many rides for kids as well

On a quiet day, most attractions have short queues, with waiting times of max 15 minutes. Maintenance is noticeable as various attractions are closed. Still plenty of fun things to see and do.

Ohh eee!!! Big thrills everywhere. Must visit with kids. Fun, fun, fun! Food everywhere as well.

The efteling is a great place to take your kids and have a good day. They allow you to bring your own food and drinks as long as you consume them in the designated picnic locations.

Before going you can visit their website to find out how busy the day you will visit is going to be. When there don't forget to download the efteling app so you can get real-time updates on the waiting times at the various attractions. To my surprise the given times were quite accurate during my visit.

The park itself is known for being the cleanest park in Europe and that really shows. The staff is very professional and discreet, making sure to not break the atmosphere of the park while doing their duties. All in all well recommended to visit during your stay in the Netherlands.

What a great day! The park is well maintained, the attractions are overwhelming and the app is very helpful. The lines were ok, longest were about 40 minutes but they tend to shorten by the end of the day. Food variety is very good. One question, which is relevant to all Netherlands' parks - why do you also need to charge for the parking? The entrance fees are high enough.

Great place to spend your day! Full of fairytales and fun and exciting attractions. Pick a less busy day based on the expectations on the website, and enjoy!

So many choices to have fun with, Perfect for family and friends

Awesome place, I love how its the original fairytales

Nice amusement park. Normally I would give 4 stars, but one star is extra deduction because of the ridiculous high parking fee (12,50 per day!).

+:
Nice amusement park, friendly staff, beautifully themed worlds, funny and thrilling rides.

-:
High Parking fee, the food is fat and not very good, the park is very big but doesn't have a lot of rides so even for the small rides there are waiting times up to 45 minutes.

We are glad we visited the park but we won't come back.

What a fantastic place. Kids had a wonderful time! Fantasy land paradise! Loved it.

Great experience for young and old. A lot of different attractions and if the weather is good the park usually has longer waiting times. For the younger kids the fairytale forest is especially nice, whilst the older kids and adults will certainly like the different rollercoasters.

Very nice and genuine park for children but also their parents! Beats Liseberg in Gothenburg. ..

Loved it here. Visited with 2 children in October from the UK. Love the new mixed with the traditional

I love the efteling. Every year we go at least once and every year we are so surprised by the cleanness of the park and the super friendly staff. The park keeps on improving as well, the rides and the restaurants are on point. Never stayed in the hotel or the bungalows. Easy to reach with public transport

Beautiful, organized, clean. Nice choice of food and drinks (unfortunately no plant based milk anywhere). Rides are magical, full of so many artistic details. Ton of content suitable for all generations

Incredible value for your money, exquisite attention to detail, authentic Dutch food and very lovely and kind staff. Can't wait to come back!

A very nice theme park for all ages. You do need to know the good spots for food. And there is a bigger focus on family rides and fairytales than thrilling rides.

Would give more stars if I could. A beautiful theme park with so much to do. I see a lot of comparisons made with Disneyland Paris (which I also love) but I couldn't compare the two. Efteling has grown over many years, beautiful forest walks to extreme coasters, so it is a bit muddled but that adds to its appeal for me. As with most parks, it's a good idea to avoid school holidays and stay over in the on site accommodation as 2 or 3 days is needed

Cool theme park, if you don't speak Dutch, a few of the attractions may be a little tiring. The more traditional rides were great, though. I recommend the wooden coaster.

Good park for kids and adults alike. Entrance fee is a little steep. But definitely a day worth spending

The most magical theme park I have visited anywhere in the world. Caters for babies through to the big kids. Fantastic kids rides, thrill rides and a magical fairytale land, all with a deep character. What a beautiful day!! Our 18 month old and her 5 and 7 year old cousins loved it.

What a magical place which is full of Dutch weird sense of humour. Great rides especially the Baron. 2 days are needed to see everything.

The most charming theme park on the planet. If you're visiting the Netherlands, make it a priority.

It is a magical place, everything is a fairy tale.... I just love it.

Most beautiful attraction park in the world (I think)

Beautifull amusement park with some original designs. Great to visit for young and old. From roller coaster to walk in a park.

Nice place. Well managed. Convinient with restaurants toilets in every corner. Huge park so helpful if u decide beforehand what all u need to see. As with lil kids difficult to cover rd everything. With 4 euros u can rent a convinient stroller for kids. As the park us huge try to be there by 10 so that uh get the parking nearby.only drawback is everything is spoken in Dutch.

What an amazing place for young kids under 10! The decorations are whimsical and well maintained. Two full days for a family with two young kids was plenty. We felt like we got to do everything we'd wanted to do. Late October lines for rides were a 30 minute wait max, but most were under 15. Helpful signs posted at the entry showed approximate wait times. A lot of rides and areas are original, some are familiar (charossel, ones similar to Disneyland's Pirates of the Caribbean and It's a Small World). Food options are plenty, there are lots of bathrooms, and it was easy to get around. Kind of a pain to get to using public transit from the Amsterdam airport. Big plus was a shuttle to and from the Efteling associated accommodations and the Efteling bus transit stop.

My favourite place to visit since I was a little kid, entertainment for every age and lovely facilities to relax at :)

Our boys said it was the best day of their lives!!

Absolutely unbelievable. Words cannot describe it. You have to see it to believe it.

Amazing and beautiful park. Even for adults this has a lot to offer and keeps you interested the whole day long. There are a lot of fun attractions and the queues are okay.

Brilliant. Plenty to do and everything is there. Portion of fries cost 2.8 euro so as any drink:)

One of the best and varied amusement parks around. Always worth a visit.

3rd time i was there and it never borings me!!!i will visit again:)))

Loved the roller coasters. 10/10 would have blurry pictures again. The ice skating rink is great fun, cheap to rent skates.

This is the most magical theme park I've ever experienced. In the winter the lights and decorations top off the atmosphere. You have to see it for yourself.

Expensiv! Omg! The Meals ans the ice, everthing. And the Service stuff are so unfriednly

I love the Efteling. It's just the perfect day out for friends, families or with a date. We went to the "Winterefteling" this year, which makes it even nicer with all the plazas filled with large fire pits and hotdog stands. And how about the ice rink or cross-country ski track "'t Hijgend Hert"? Especially recommended is "Baron 1898", "De Vliegende Hollander" and "Joris en de Draak". Raveleijn (parkshow), Droomvlucht, Fata Morgana and Aquanura (parkshow) are must sees as well.

If you're looking for a magical theme park then this is the place to go.. a little pricey but well worth it. The park is beautiful, clean and fun.

So long ago I was here, still a child myself. Now years later as adult with small children, when you enter the park all is in theme. Beautiful green taken care of, water forest, ducks, fishes, even squirrels I saw (all real).
The attractions, the rather slow speed ones, I can only say 'Wow!' They took away my breath, how it was build and presented, have to see for yourself.
If you are a daredevil (which I am not really) more than enough types of rollercoasters.
For small children fairy-tale forest and every where something enchanting or fun to see.
It is an expensive entrance fee and one day is by far not enough to see (or even do) all, it is worth the experience: if only to feel yourself in a magical world for a moment and/or see your child wow and be amazed that the fairytale tree really listens to them:)
(small note for Efteling itself: I found my experience being in another 'country/environment/dream' got broken when I took the Monorail in Laav-land: you can see and hear the road with cars and houses (the real life) from there, spoiled a bit my magical moment (but thats personal).
Overall I would go here again.

Had a great day. Reasonably priced, good food for an amusement park. Great rides for younger and older people. Top amusement park in the Netherlands. Really worth a visit!

The rides are fun the fairytale atmosphere and aesthetic is amazing and magical, the fairytale Forrest is filled with characters you know. The rides and rollercoaster are great I haven't been on all if them but the ones i tried were superb, the food was great as well and the app helpful. I'd definitely reccomend to come to this theme park if you get the chance to.

Great rides. Great for kids. Also really funny as an adult. Had some good times here

Before I went to Efteling, I was thinking Disney was the only place for a wonderful theme park experience. Now I know that there are more parks there which can do good as well.
