De Efteling BV Reviews

Most magical place in the world! Let yourself be touched by the magic the great characters that wonder around in the world of wonders bring along. Even for the thrill, enchantment is applied!

Great park, although a bit walky and big (this has something the do with the past and it being a walking park). Rides are great for all ages, for kids they have the theme park, for teenagers and parents the Rollercoaster. Enough electric parking spaces

Great attractions, beautiful scenery and kind employees! The queues can get long on busy days, but there are also times you can almost instantly ride the attraction.

Amazing themepark for all ages. For the little kids there is the fairytail wood with all your favorite characters. For the older ones there are several rollercoasters. The newest one being the Baron 1878 with a free fall of 39 meters. And for family rides this is the perfect theme parks as well!

hitting the road to the Efteling .. is like if you are going to the Paradise !!
you have to try it once .. or twice !!
or Forever :)

Fun amusement park for Young and old, fairytale-esque surrounding, great staff

One of the best amusement parks I have ever been to. The kids had lots of fun. It isn't too big and you can do all the good rides in one day. It is less international than the Disney parks, which means you won't hear a lot of English, but if you are open minded that should not be a problem as everyone is super nice.

Such a magical place, beautiful accommodation, would love to have a return trip

Sprookjesbos great for the smaller kids. They'll take home some lasting memories. Also good roller-coaster for the others.

Very cool place with tons of activities that is suitable for everyone.

What more is to say about Efteling. 5 stars, well deserved !! The kids, and I, we all loved it

Best amusement park I have been to since now! My 4 and half son absolutely loves it! So do us, adults! As sure as we are that we won't return tu Disneyland Paris, as sure we are that we will return here!

The classics and the new attractions. Everything is here. Wonderfull service and without exception all staff is very very friendly and making your visit special.

Special effects are not so professional as in Disneyland, but in my opinion price/quality is higher. Also the food is not overpriced, you can have snacks there for a price slightly higher than in any other fast food. Great fontain show. We'll come back definitely.

Awesome theme park to spend a day with family and or friends

Beautiful setting. Good mixture of rides and light show at the end is out of this world. Worth hanging around for

Love this theme park its unique, fun and lovely. Lot's of places to eat, I specially love the Doner and the Turkish pizza. Hope to be back again in the near future.

The raveleijn suite was very nice! Kids loved it. Staff is very friendly! Food is good!

Place for everyone young and old, place you wont find so many tourists, mainly dutch/belgian people. Absolute must go to if you visit the Netherlands, and very underrated

Kids had a blast! Park was clean and neat. You may need more than one day to visit this park. Some lines up to 45 min. Compared to Disney parks that is not to bad of a wait. Kids enjoyed the theme rides

Most beautiful theme park I know. Great attention to detail: everything is themed. No really: everything! Even the mendatory heavily regulated firehoses are themed. I would have given 6 stars if I could.

I'm comming here all my live. I love it.
very unfortunate that 'joris en de draak'. Was closed.

The place is well maintained, the entertainment is very good for all ages.

Perfect as usual. Pity only that it didn't stay open longer as it was still warm and light outsid

Absolutely amazing for the kids! So many rides to go on, amazing food, music, train rides. Loved it!

The park is great although the queues can be quite long. For example we stood in queue for about 2 hours for the mine ride.

Nice theme park.
The negative about the park is that because i am not dutch and the language that they use to tell the story is dutch language.

It will be better of they can provide a headset for foreign visitor as well so they can understand what is the story behind the attraction or the story that they tell in the introduction of the attraction.

They also have a fairy tale with some wax doll such as cinderella but the whole story is in dutch language. You better have a local friend to translate for you

An amazing park for young and old, friendly staff, fun rides and a whole forest dedicated to various fairy tales and folklore. If you are on vacation in the netherlands: this is the best we have to offer in regards to theme parks

The most enchanting and magical place. Was so lovely here. Nothing was expensive. Gift shops reasonably priced. With kids meals in restaurants they all seemed to have some free thing like a torch or a bowl swap so swap your child's dirty bowl for a clean melamine one to keep! The magical forest was fabulous and took up a lot of time so we saved half for the last day. Lots of rides for young children. Lots of experiences as well as rides. Loads of food and drink places. Beautiful surroundings, well kept gardens with beautiful flowers, will be even prettier in the early summer. Lots of ducks but no litter, duck poo, few pigeons and no sea gulls like you'd find in England.

Even the music was really lovely and enchanting.

Was very clean and lots of bins all over. The staff were so very friendly and all staff spoke amazing English everywhere.

Great service, and a truly lovely place to go for all ages. Would highly recommend. X

The thema park is getting old but the new is worth the wait

One of the most beautifull en fun theme parks in the world!

Amazing theme park. Had such a good day and it has a great mix of rides and attractions for different ages. Our two, aged 7 and 9, had the best day. Perfect for got weather too, we went when it was 40C and the hottest day on record, but there is loads of shade. Also pretty good value cafes and restaurants considering it's a theme park. We'll be back one day I hope.

Most relaxing parc for families with kids in every age. If the height is more than 1.2m all attractions are available except Baron.
Very clean, well managed and worth a journey all season

They improved the queuing, so it's more efficient, so less time just waiting.

Eclectic theme park with lots to do for young and old. I went with a company teambuilding trip and had fun on the roller coasters. The food is poor quality, and make sure you come in the off season, or be prepared for huge lines.

This park is amazing! The rollercoasters are so much fun and not scary. The setting is enchanting. There are so many fine details in every corner, even in waiting lines, that you cannot notice everything. There are many options for food, but in order to save time and money I would recommand to bring some sandwiches and snacks.

Excellent theme park with great lore for each ride. As much care is given about the rides as their surroundings. The park is situated in a beautiful Forrest that is obviously taken care of by a team of professionals. Every single one of the stf I spoke with was extremely friendly and helpful.

Parking fee was way too hidden for a park. We bought our tickets at a kiosk and only learned about the fee when we tried to leave. Gate attendant was shocked we didn't know about it.

The theme park is very well designed and beautifully maintained. They have a very handy app which is useful for giving information and current wait time for each ride / attraction as well as a map which can help you navigate the park. The theatre show Ravelijn and the water show are not to be missed

We went with our 2 year old boy thinking that there was not much to do for a child. And luckily we were wrong. It's very child friendly. All toilets have a changing room. Also not inside the ladies room so daddy can also change the diapers. The music was pleasant and not loud or noisy.almost Everything us accessible with the buggy . Prices in the restaurants and stores are reasonable. More than enough places to sit and eat or have a drink. Needless to say my family.had a great time. One tip though you can buy the parking ticket on the way in so that you don't have to stand in line on the way out . Thanks efteling for making our visit so pleasant

A quirky but great day out at Efterling Theme Park. Theming at this park is incredible and strange all in one go. A walk through their fairy tale forest gave me the creeps but worth it for the laughs. Some of the rides are a bit dated but still a great day out! Make sure you eat at the pancake House, for amazing pancakes and a unique experience!

Very large amusement park. The rides are 30 percent adult rides like roller coasters and 70 percent kids themed. You will find something there for everyone. We went on a weekday so there are less lines and we managed to do about 10 rides in one full day. If you are hungry, the foods selection is okay but not good.

Total must see - totally worth the money! Amazing experience!!! Villa Volta, Fata Morgana and the Dreamworld were the best!

One of the world's best themepark destinations. A can't miss when in the area

Wonderful place,worth every penny.Would recommend it to anyone.

The most beautiful park of adventure in Europe! Must see!!!

Awesome theme park. Great for the whole family. I would highly recommend staying at a hotel on the site as it was very convenient.

Efteling was one of the most charming amusement parks my sister and I have been at. We're from America and have visited Disney World and Disneyland, but Efteling has a unique charm. We liked the fairytale forest the most, it was so cool to see the various renditions of fairytales (some of which we have never heard of before) and the displays were all very beautifully constructed and fun for all ages! We could've spent at least 2.5 hours in the fairytale forest but had to leave sooner because of park closing. We also had lunch at the pancake restaurant, which had laughably large straws and delicious pancakes!

Great place! Balanced between children and adults attractions! Had a very good time! Highly recommended!

This place is amazing. Much better than Disney Paris. Loved it from the minute we walked in.

Efteling is great, lots to do for an enjoyable day or days. Fun for lots of ages and daredevil wishes. As everywhere else you wait in line and sometimes a long time. Food is expensive but not that bad so all in all a complete theme park experience :)

Nice place with great rides but too busy during weekends.
For 1 minute drive you have to wait 45 minutes to 1 hour. From 11 am till 7 pm I made only to 5 rides. The place outgrown itself.
Bringing your food and drinks is allowed.

I LIVED AND LOVED EVERYTHING! I went there as a child and was soo happy to be able to show my children

Amazing & beautiful park for young and old. Unfortunately all attractions close at 6PM. On the other hand then, you have an excuse to come back.

Great park to visit, but be aware to take enough time because if it's busy you spend most of your time waiting in line. But the lights all over the park is spectacular especially when it's dark early.

Nice for a one day visit. A spectacular fountain show at the end. Good and clean parking. Most of the attractions are relatively short.

If you like a less commercial and less busy, but a lot greener Disneyland, this is definitely the place for you! Definitely love the experience!

One of the best themeparks of Europe! I highly recommend a visit here.

Good amusement park, lots to do for small kids, but also the bigger ones and adults!

Fantastic park, great service even for people who are not dutch!

i love it, but tgere is no falling tower, and high rollercoasters

The rides were amazing, I love it I want to go back everyday!

Apart of the fact that they paint pigeons with flashy colors, which could be considered animal cruelty, or the presence, still, of an amusement ride that feature elements that could be considered racist; the park is a lovely place to spend the day: staff are very welcoming and nice, amusement rides are well planned. You can find entertainment for kids and adults. All in all, recommended

The best place of the world. Just I love for this place.

Such a magical place, a great experience if you have children or the imagination of one! The fairytale theme is really well done especially with all of the Anton Pieck artwork. In the winter, they have all these fire pits with fresh stroopwaffels and hot chocolate! The rides are magical and the attention to detail is exquisite.

Love the place, 13 hours of proper fun. one of the best rides, Baron 1898 is a dive coaster not a roller coaster that was fun

Good rides for the whole family - there are things for the little ones and thrilling rides for everyone else

Best theme park in the Netherlands especially for kids. They will find total new dreams and fairy tales here!

An excellent and magical attraction park for all ages. All you need to spend a magical time with family and friends. Situated halfway between Brussels and Amsterdam. Price is reasonable, many restaurants, cafes and ice-cream shops. Highly recommend

Had a nice day. Good treats and lots of fun rides. The apps help you know when the ride wait times are reasonable.

Great place door friends, family and kids. One of the most beautiful parcs I have been

Wish there were more rollercoasters, existing rides are pretty nice. Lots of food options throughout the park. Besutiful gardens and theme areas.

As always, the Efteling is a lovely place to visit with attractions for young to old. Plus they have some pretty good food options :)!

I wouldn't recommend going during high season or the weekend, but sometimes you just don't have a choice :(

Great experience during the Christmas. A place to be at that time of year with spectacular fireworks displays. An unforgettable experience!

Very nice and magical experience. Great music tracks and fun rides.
Expensive food though.

Amazing themepark! Every generation will enjoy a day in The Efteling!

Always a joy to be there... lots of rides for families, but also plenty of rides for more daredevils. And ofcourse the fairytales!
