De Efteling BV Reviews

Best theme park in Europe. Situated in the middle of a forest.

By far the best themepark in the country. Lovely day for young and old.

We love going to efteling. Adventurous and so much fun!

Best kept secret in Europe is what my wife said when I brought her for the first time.

Adults and children alike will love the spectacular fairytale forest

Lotsa amazing rides for adrenaline junkies

All set in a huge forest

Take yourself and your kids and if you have no kids go anyway. This really is a magical place to visit.

The natural scenery and fantasy theming in this park are beautiful. It's size and variety of rides and attractions definitely gives you plenty to do during your visit. I would recommend at least two days in this park in order to be able to explore the whole park. Though I'm sure even then you will still find a reason to return.

Some stars of the park are the Baron for a thrilling drop and Python for the classic rollercoaster with 4 inverts, as well as Droomvlucht and the Fairytale forest for beautiful theming.

Fun attractions, good shows and beautiful places to walk.

Despite being the most popular themepark still after decades, I think Efteling should embrace becoming a digital company. Not only in how its run their business but also in what they offer to their customers. Virtual reality could play a role in setting it apart from the competition.

Nice one! But I did like the food there, only junk, quite expensive, absolutely not tasty.

Europe's best family theme park, without doubt. It has rides for all of the family to be entertained, fantastic food, and a welcoming atmosphere. It's open 365 days a year with the rides and the decor adapted to suit winter weather. It includes a fairy tale forest that cannot be missed. Allow multiple days because you will need more than one even if isn't busy. Stay in the Efteling accomodation options if you can as they are high quality and offer early entry into the park.

One of my absolute favourite parks in Europe. In some aspects I liked it more than Euro Disney. Lots to do and the rides are great.

Was so much fun. Everything from fantasy rides to thrilling coasters to water shows.
If you get a chance to go here you should definitely go.

Very unfriendly staff, wouldn t recommend going there

Best place ever... better than other theme parks, clean friendly and very reasonable.. just about to book again :-)

Fantastic place, very clean and efficient personnel. Very nice cured attractions. Single tickets are price, consider a yearly ticket if you plan to visit it more than 4 times.

Lacking a lot of english information and such but my girlfriend was smiling like a little kid. Would have been even better with kids!

Amazing place. Spend a weekend here? No problem! It's not a usual amusement park. It's rather a story telling place.
Different attractions for children and adults (though some can still be added to the list), cool mobile app, food everywhere, everything works till late, shows, fairytales, actionable and sightseeing attractions - everythingis here.
Downsides are queuing for 30-60 minutes to some attractions, no rollercoaster suitable for children (I think the big one isn't!)... and that's it
Btw, interesting approach to parking. In case number of visitors on cars is bigger than parking slots, then they park you at grass fields far from Efteling and coaches transfers you back and forth when needed.

Just amazing escapist dark fun fantasy! Maybe better than Disney, certainly very different!

Wonderful accommodation, amazing attractions. Wanna fill like a kid again, just visit it.

Lovely park. All the employees are so nice. We had a small conversation with the gardener about the park and nature! The thrill rides are not that good, but I love Joris and the Dragon and Baron1898. All the attractions are well themed and do have their own story and music! Its fun to visit for young and adult :D. You have to visit this place in the winter and in the summer! During the winter the whole parc is changed to a winter wonderland. The most magical place to visit then is the fairytale forest! In the summer you can visit the negen pleinen festijn. Its a day when the parc is opened till 23:00pm and there is entertainment all over the place!

Hands down, best theme park in the Netherlands!! It really is a world of wonders!!

Beautiful park. Great ride's indoor en outside. A lot off fun for families with young kids.

One day is not enough. Very well organised park, food is still affordable. There are so many attractions, we could not watch any show. Leave the "sprookjesbos" for the end, because it is open long time in the evening and participate on other attractions they close earlier. You need 1,5 hour walk for the sprookjesbos. It is more interesting for small children.

I have never been to a large scale amusement park before, And didn't expect to enjoy it much. This place is extraordinary though! There is something here that is fun, interesting and enjoyable for anyone at any age. The displays are all fabulous and the environment feels quite authentically antique, though it clearly is not.
My 5 and 3 year old kids made me promise to bring them again and I will.

I really loved the Efteling, it is really beautiful and it has a lot of stories behind the attractions. You really have to visit the Efteling if you have the chance. It is a bit expensive.

Very nice theme park especially for smaller children. The enchanted forest is still one of the highlights.

My first visit and had a good time. Would go back again

Best amusement park in the Netherlands, perhaps even Europe. Nowhere else will you find the real dutch "gezelligheid" combined with such a unique magical atmosphere. Suited for all ages and group sizes.

During winter the park is dressed in icicles, snow, and campfires. Cottages serving seasonal food and drinks can be found nearly everywhere, occasionally accompanied by jolly carolers. A must-visit during the holidays!

After a hot sunny day in the Efteling the personnel made our day! Very nice park with theme attractions.

Absolutely amazing park, easily the best in Europe and knocks the socks off of everything in the UK.

Perfect for relax and here you really travel through fary thails but not only, it is an amazing place to test your adrenalin too!! Enjoy!!

Love this amusement park. There s something for everyone.

Fantastic amusement parc, great atttactions, friendly staff, well organised

This is one of the best theme parks I have visited. There are thrill rides and family rides. My 14 year old son had a great time. We spent an entire day there and still did not get to every ride. We cannot wait to go back again.

Cool for little kids but the rides are way too short. Went on a slow day and most restaurants were closed. Go only if you really like amusement parks.

A really nice and enjoyable theme park, suitable for families as well.

The most beautiful and amazing attraction place in Europe. You can enjoy the whole day, the whole stories with all your friends and family!

Great park, my kids enjoyed so much , we've been for entire day and it wasn't enough. Many food options, endless attractions, the lines are not short, better to come during weekdays. Afternoon fills less crowded.

Beautiful theme park. Friendliest atmosphere, fairy-tale environment. Exciting rides, next to fairy forest and shows. For families, young couples, in both good and rainy weather.

No light and fire show today 5th of August 2019due to technical difficulties ....information should be given about this when purchasing a ticket not afterward while in the park. Compensation should be given. Disappointing.

Great family theme park for young and old. Special set-up in winter with winter efteling. Rollercoasters which can also be done with kids > 120cm: Joris en de Draak, De vliegende hollander, Python.

This theme park is still awesome even though I've been here a lot of times. Can't wait to come back next year and stay a night in the Efteling hotel as well.

A new tradition is born in our family! Yearly visit to the Efteling!

In my opinion one of the best amusement parks in the EU. Most attractions are based on stories/fairytales. Even the waiting lines are decorated in the theme of the attraction. The park itself is very neat and tidy and the staff is very friendly.

This is the best theme park I have been too outside of Disney World. I was particularly impressed by the staff. Excellent customer service and all spoke English extremely well. Particularly impressed with the food which compared to British theme parks was amazing and great value for money. No need to pack sandwiches!!

Incredible amusement park in the Netherlands. Very clean and lots of activities for children and adults. Only on crowded days, the waiting times can be up to 40 min or more. They could change the system. However, you can see the times in the app and thereby plan well. The rollercoasters are amazing, the forest is full of detailed story telling and the shops offer great souvenirs. Always a massive joy to be there with the family!

It's really a magical place for all ages. I was here with work and it was quite the day

This place is not like other attraction parks, it's really an adventure park, with emphasis on adventure :) fun for kids and adults alike with many rides featuring story telling around the world and fantasyland, bringing you back to your childhood. Highly recommend! Key takeaway: the rollercoasters won't blow you away but the fun fantasy rides will bring wide smiles to your face from ear to ear. :-D

I love this theme park, my kid do, and everyone I went there with do. Worth every penny you pay for the pricy 50sh euros ticket but it has so cool things in it, especially in summer

Amazing place to take kids. Endless fun that never tires.

Authentic amusement park with traditional fairy tails in walk though wood setting. Great for small and grey kids.

Amazing place to go, I live in the Netherlands myself and been to this place multiple times now. A quick tip for all people who don't like big lines. You should go on a Sunday in the winter. The longest line I got took about 30 minutes. Make sure to make a good plan what you want to visit, it's a big park.

Like always, this is one of the greatest and most enjoyable theme parks in the world. I've been coming here since I was little and I only have fond memories of this place. The staff is friendly and very helpful. The park is clean and always gets updated. The food is delicious. But we'll, the prices go up every year. That is something we can expect when everything get slowly inflated. Either way amazing park!

I had a very fun time in the Efteling! They have a good system to keep 1,5m distance between each other which even makes it feel like the line goes very fast!

Well Maintained... friendly staff... Good Food
Must visit

The absolute best for younger kids, also a good place to go as teen or adult, but a little less magical. 8/10 I do reccomend!

The Places So Great! Because everything work Properly and Very Clean for all the details

Awesome themed park. Great for kids as well. Sometimes there are long waiting times though

Beautiful atmosphere, easy to reach and fun attractions

Amazing theme park for poeple of any age. Baron rollercoaster is a monster ;)

What a amazing place with awsome rides, due to vacation time waiting lines were really big. Other wise had a great time

The amusement park itself feels really magical. There is a nice selection of rides for kids and adults. The waiting lines can be long.

This is the best park of the Benelux. You can see yourself in a different world for a day. A fairytale. It's a park well thought of, and for the young and old. This park is all about details. Everything is thought of. They even have talking bins. Throwing your trash away is made fun! The park is very clean, buildings look like they're really new while they've already been there for many years. Very well maintained. The new attractions together with the older ones in Sprookjesbos for example blend in really well. Cause they all keep the same appearance throughout the entire park.

A very picturesque, laid back park. If you like Disney then you'll really like this park, the only downside is that all of the preshows are in Dutch, which kinda ruins the atmosphere if you only speak English. (obviously it's understandable that it's in Dutch but it would've been nice to have an English option)

It was a great day in amusement park. Go early in the morning and stay late as at the end there is usually the water show which is also a nice ending of the day. Ecological friendly, a lovely theme park for all ages.

Wonderful apartment park in the Netherlands, very multilingual and had no issues getting around without knowing very much Dutch.

Great park for ppl of all ages. Very impressive water shows at night. So much fun and great memories here.

It's amazing, gift shops are great, rollercoasters amazing, if you don't like hights, you can go into: vliegende hollander (flying dutchman) and the vogelrock (birdrock), if you like speed, go in joris en de draak(joris and the dragon) and the python, if you have Young children you can go to the Fairy tale forest, and the restaurants are good, they have an eye for detail, so that deserves a 10/10, and you can Rent a wheelchair, You must reserve it 24 hours in advance, it's free to rent a wheelchair, you have a water rollercoasters, I recommend it to you.

Amazed by the park. Nice coasters, fun rides and guaranteed great time for all ages.

So much fun! A really underrated theme park which is based around old European folklore, myths and legends. Rides and activities which are suitable for children as well as adults are a plenty and there are a few roller coasters for the thrillseekers out there. All in all an excellent day out, I only wish I had more time to see it all.

Amazing place to be if you like fast speeds and a full day of magic

One word "wow". Its totally amazing.
Some tips: July/August is holiday season so try to plan the visit in weekends. Its better to stay for a night over here and enjoy within two days. If you have only a day then start when it opens (i.e. 10am). You can carry your own food stuff as well. The park is open all over the year, not matter even if it rains!
The app is very helpful. The helping guys do many language specially English but the instructions are given in Dutch. Restaurants are not costly or over-priced.
Will recommend to visit rides first. Don't miss the water show in the evening (7.15pm or 8.15pm). If you visit in weekdays, wait time for the rides is not more than 5min or 10min. Do take raincoat. Be prepared for walking a lot.

Very nice place to visit during the Summer. It's very big so you have to choose before you go what are you going to do first. We was there from 11:00 to 20:00 and we could not see everything in there... But it's really nice and really entertaining

Excellent place clean and tidy and some really good rides

Great place for adults and kids. Clean park with extremely polite staff. Short waiting queues compared to UK theme parks! Loved it

Amazing experience + great place to hangout with friends

Our 3 bed cottage in Bosrjk was fantastic. The rooms were spacious and clean. The kitchen in the was reasonably well equipped but the on site supermarket was very limited (basically cheese, eggs, ham and then cereal and crisps and drinks). More
