De Efteling BV Reviews

Always a fun park to visit! Lots of really nice themed atractions for every age. Always lots of fun to spend a day there.

This might not be the biggest and baddest park you have ever visited but the amount of detail put into the rights is just simply stunning. The kids loved it and the grownups very much enjoyed it too. Look into busy days because it can get pretty crowded

Good theme park overall. It overcame my expectations. A very pleasant place to be and the attractions are well designed. You can see how well kept everything is, specially the rollercoasters, because they look very safe.

The restaurants did let me down a bit. If you expect to eat a better meal, you'll have to wait for dinner. Lunch meals are the basic Dutch choices.

In covid times, they put up walls in lines and took other measures to make sure people don't cross each other within less than 1,5m. I don't know an exact number but it feels like they are operating with at most 50% of capacity because although it is high summer and it feels like the park is full, the lines are usually quicker than you would expect.

Overall, it is a very nice place to go with your kids or with your friends, and if you are not afraid of rollercoasters or heights, I'm sure you will find many fun things to do. Oh, and do not miss the aquanura show at the end of the day.

Fun for the whole family. Fast queues for this time of year!

No matter how old you are, it is a cool place on the weekend. There are many fun games and they look super interesting. The facilities are well maintained. I would definitely visit again.

We've been here 3 times with 7 kids age 17 down to 6 and we all love it here. It has great atmosphere with lots of rides of all kind. We love everything about efteling. Fun, food, adrinalin, excitement and much more. Parents and kids all happy. We can't wait to go again. The raveliejn and aquanura are my favourite shows.

Had a fun time. This place is more for kids though.
It's like a dutch disney.

We went there to celebrate my brother's birthday and we absolutely loved it!!! It was the winter efteling. You have unlimited access to everything. The app is a must!! It guides you and informs you about all the necessary details. The only drawbacks were that the free WiFi was working only with the efteling application and that the restaurants did not have enough indoor space so you ended up eating outside in the cold.

Very nice amusement park, lots of different options and rides.
Lots to do with kids of all ages.
Not too expensive. Very nice end of the day show.
Opening hours are a bit short.
Food in the different little foods hope's is a bit expensive but comparing to other amusement parks still reasonable.

Amazing park, worth your whole day visit....actually you can't see everything in one day. Not even when the waiting lines are short. We have to come again probably! Extra tip; we expected walking routes and better roadsigns to the atractions.

Awesome theme park that can compete with the best in the world. Great stories before you enter certain rollercoasters! Best fairy tail world's that you can walk through. Great price for an awesome park that updates with a new big attraction almost every year. Alot of staff that walks around in great outfits that match the park or the attraction. They are always on point and very friendly.

Great park for all ages.
Stay in one of the hotels and you actually get 2 days tickets and a breakfast for the costs of 2 days tickets (at least for 5).
Lots of fun and rides for all ages
Food can be better in some park restaurants

Perfect place to visit with family, friends or just with your partner. Plenty of places to eat and entertainment options for everyone.

Enjoyable theme park for my 3-year old, but also good fun rollercoasters for adults. Would probably go during the week next time. Quite busy on weekends, 40+ mind waiting time per ride.

Efteling is an amazing theme park! I had a lot of fun here.

Nice for kids and adults......more English and some other languages gonna be good...

Amazing family day out. Well priced compared to the other major theme parks in Europe, and you don t feel like you are been ripped off with food and drink prices. Obviously better to go during the week and not during the peak holiday periods.

Totally different from all Disney parks, causd its' theme is Dutch Fairy Tales. Our 3rd visit in the last 16 years. A total must

Beautiful amusement park. Great rollercoasters. For young and old

Beautiful, simply the best amusement park I've visited. Not only for children. It's beautiful! I come here several times a year!

I love the efteling, it is for all ages and magic can never die!

An amazing theme park in the Netherlands, awesome rides and the nocturnal visit made it all the more fun. Lots of options for food and amusement. The roller coasters are fun too. You can download the app and can see the map and the waiting for all the rides and plan accordingly. Kids will love this place, totally recommended and worth visiting.

Great place to take the kids, there is so much for the children to see and do. It's full of fairy tales and rides.. The walk through the enchanted wood is truly magical for them with so many things for them to see and interact.. The rides although it takes some time to get on certain rides are pretty good too... There are plenty of places to eat along the way and food is pretty tasty.. Well worth a visit maybe even two visits to see everything, it's best to get there early as possible... If you have not been there before be sure to pay for your parking ticket online before you go, it just makes it a little easier.. The water display is well worth a watch too but make sure you get there well before the crowds do to get a good place to watch or video it.. All in all well worth a visit :)

After 65 years, it's still the most magical place i know

Very beautiful attraction parc for Young or older people many nice things to see and doing.

My kids had amazing time here. Just come at 10:00 to have time for everything.

This place is perfect for a family day out. We had so much fun but so little time. It's big, a whole day is not enough to go around. Little fairy buildings, structures, shows for kids and lots of restaurant with good quality of food and drinks. Definitely worth a visit.

Very fun park, the roller-coaster are cool but they could be bigger. I liked a lot the attractions with the arabian theme, the magic and fantasy one too, and also enjoyed of many others.

I loved the experience. My family and me went here for the holidays and it was absolutely fantastic. So much to see and so much to do.

Nice theme park for young and old with both thrilling rides and calmer atractions as well as the fairytale forest and playgrounds for the youngest. The waiting lines can be quite long, some being over 90 minutes and even though there were hand sanitizing stations around and most queues were adapted because of the coronavirus, the measures weren't nearly enough or strict enough. They could do a lot more in that sense. Although they would enjoy it, I'd recommend not going with grandma and grandpa for now.

I've been coming here since I was a kid and it's still a great place for a day of fun. There's stuff to do for everyone, from a young age (Fairytale Forest, Land van Laag, Carnival Festival) to an older age (rollercoasters and thrill rides). Every attraction is themed and most of the days the queues aren't too long.

Perfect place to spending time with friends and family. I hope I come back again

Kids day out was amazing.They have fairy tale garden that is the hall mark of theme park.

Amazing day out. This park has great rides for all ages and the whole atmosphere and decor is beautiful!

Amazing place! Better than Disneyland in many ways.

One of the best theme parks in the country, I pretty much enjoyed it there

The best amusement Park I have ever been to. This park puts you in a dream world, such a special atmosphere, nothing can beat that. Been going back almost yearly since my first visit as a kid, but now with my own. Highly recommended. There is no park like it. Focus is on what matters, not just great rollercoasters but lovely sceneries, green, clean and historic atmosphere. A place where I would love to live. Would love to work there also, just for the memories and atmosphere.

I am a big fan of the Efteling. It is truly a place where anyone can find something to enjoy. Whether it is walking through the fairytale forest, enjoying the crazy cool rollercoasters, having fun with the entire family, munching on great snacks, or just enjoying the beautiful park, the Efteling is a great place to be.

It's Efting fantastic. My wife and I loved it. My teenage kids loved it. My young kids loved it. Clean, well organised and loads to do. We'll definitely be going back.

Amazing place, heart-throbbing rides lots of places to eat, sit relax for all ages. Plenty of parking. Very very well managed

This place, amazing for all ages, a story forest, rollercoasters, merry-go-rounds and much more! I suggest you trying it out, I've been here many times and I'm sure I'll be back!

Had a 1 day trip to Efteling. What a magical place. Our three children all under 11 had a great day. We went not knowing much about the park and now I think our favourite theme park we've visited. There are attractions and rides to suit all ages if your thrill seeking. Or just taking walk through the woods with all the displays is enchanting. Loads of places to eat which look really good. We had fast fresh pasta which made a nice change to your normal fast food. The whole park seemed really well kept even the toilets on what was a busy day. Definitely worth a visit we can't wait to go back.

Best amusement park in the Netherlands period. Great things to do for small children, teenagers as well as adults and seniors. Also very good food.

Great theme park about Fairy tales. The park is visually beautiful and beautiful to walk throughout. There's not a lot of people during the week so very short waiting times. Attractions are nice and very detailed and ideal for the entire family. The roller coasters are very good. The park is good value for the price (around 40 ).

Loved it! Only down side was it was a slightly chilly cloudy day so when I got soaked on the rapids ride, I had no way of drying off (no air drying pods like at alton towers!) So I did spend the last couple hours of the visit a cold damp person, but now I know that ride WILL get you drenched so avoiding that next time unless it's a hot sunny day! (Going on fast rides will probably help dry you off, or at least take your mind off it for a minute haha)
Also UK folks, if you've got your euros on a post office travel card (better exchange rate and top up while already on holiday) they work here!

Due to special "corona-rules" (less visitors per entertainment place, distance on the attractions itself etc) the queues are very slow and long. 70-90 minutes waiting for 30 sec of ride? Well, it somehow gives much less pleasure :(

Great Entertainment parc for young and old. A nice forest of fairytales, but also great rollercoasters, great architecture. Not cheap but when you book early you can get a discount of 20%

AMAZING!! Bring your kids here or borrow one from a friend/relative to have the excuse to come to Efteling... attention to detail is everywhere, rides are magical. Highly recommended.

This is by far the best amusement park we've ever been at. The fairy tale theme is surprisingly great for all ages. The Efteling App was most helpful for planning visits to rides and other attractions. Food was excellent and reasonably priced. Yes, lines were long at times, but they have created a complete attraction to house the line ups. Everything seemed extremely organized, staff was friendly, and the actors were interactive allowing plenty of photos and shaking hands, etc. They offer plenty of shows and I believe short parade and fireworks every night. (We went on a Friday and experienced both). My strongest suggestion would be to plan a 3 day visit. There is no possible way to enjoy everything in a one day visit. I hope to be back soon!

Absolutely fantastic place, theme park based on fairy tales from the Brothers Grimm, so is a little dark in places... Massive place to get around it would take a good full day to get round it all..

An awesome theme park in Western Europe. Rivals most of the Disney theme parks worldwide and blows Paris Disney out of the water. Reasonable prices with excellent service. The staff seem to be competing on who can provide the best service. This place is huge. Caro is a wonderful show and worth every penny.

Really fantastic family park. More to do you can handle in a day. Advise is to download the app were waiting times are displayed.
Try to stay at the evening. With all the lights it even more beautiful.

This place is simply the best!
It's magical all around. There are activities for all ages and most of them are for all ages (:
Efteling is a must visit when you're in Holland.
Tip: if you know a couple of months before the dates you'll be there - search online for discount tickets. Especially if you plan your trip to August

The restaurant Pinokkio was really great. A really very delicious caprese

Great theme Parc with a great atmosphere. Also very well maintained and very good service. Always a great day out for the entire family or with friends.

It's in my opinion the greatest themed attraction park in the Netherlands. The staff works really hard to keep the park clean and there doing a very good job. Would really recommend if you want to have a fun day out with your children or in general.

Beautiful and really big and green park with many great rollercoasters! I recommend the fountain show at the end of the day: Really romantic. Of course, Food and Drinks are expensive.

Brilliant place. Stayed in magical tree house and had a fabulous 4 days.

this place is easily better than any uk resort. the people are friendly and the site is very clean. recommend highly

Had fun and enjoyed to the fullest. A place to loosen up and relax to enjoy the rides and just be away from home. Two days still not enough. Needs proper planning to maximize on your time spent here.

I absolutely LOVE The Efteling! It's not just for kids! We went during Winter Efteling where not all of the rides were running but there were still more than enough and they had so many other "winter" themed things to make up for it! Summer or winter, it definitely is a great way to spend a day with family or friends.

This is a theme park like no other. I cannot say what i loved there without writing volumes. Actually, yes, i can: everything. Go and see.

Perfect rainy day. The ques were nice and short. Max waiting time was 25 minutes.

Nice and tidy - and nice rides (kids are 9 and 11)

Feels like stepping into a story book... Has everything you would want in a theme park. Great and varied food, rides for all ages, and an abundance of thematic sections to alight the imagination

Been there like 3 or 4 times and loved it! We also stayed to Bosrijk apartments, which are super cute, spacious and clean. The park itself is huge and amazingly beautiful! Endless gardens with flowers, lakes and rivers, among the coolest attractions ever! Highlights: super yummy food and Baron roller coaster! Just don't combine these two!

This place is dope! You have to stay the night and do it over two days.so much to see and do. Very very cool.

Full experience amusement park. Even waiting in line is a fairy tale at times. Wonderful for all ages!

The Efteling is one of the best parks from Holland, even from Europe. It's quite big and has expended a lot and is still expanding. There is a big parking lot. Parking isn't free. The park is really beautiful and good for all ages, the scenery and slow rides for kids, the intense rides for teens and adults. Really recommend coming here!

Love the magic of it all... just takes me all the way back, to all the memories and dreams as a child. Just enjoy it all and a little more!

Fine of course, corona rules don't make sense. You are cooking between the plastic fences. One and half meter distance is also fine until after lunch everyone is done with it, and there is no red and white zone anymore. The carts are cleaned every hour, but don't see the point of having people in them before and after me. Thanks to all these measures, the waiting times were quite long and you do not have the experience of efteling as you are used to. You better wait until everything is back to normal and enjoy the "old Dutch Efteling park" again.

a lovely place for visitors of all ages... With their laughters and smiles, we had a wonderful day.

surely will be back!!

Great place, prices of food we're good and queues were not long. Overall an great place for the whole family

One of the best fun parks, based on fairy tales. Almost as good as Disney Land.

Had the most amazing family day yesterday. It was so relaxed and we had little or no queuing to do that was the good thing about going on a week day

A beautiful park with attractions from fairytale forest to thrill rides. With lovely decorations. The only stormcloud is the 10 parking fare that most guests only discover while exiting the park.

This place made me feel like a child filled with joy and wonder.

Efteling is the most well known theme park of the Netherlands and well worthy of a visit, regardless if you live in the country or are only in the area for a brief visit. It's got rides and attractions catering for all walks of life from toddlers to thrill seekers and everything and anyone in between.
