The Efteling is a wonderful place to visit, there's so much to do and so much to see and it's all beautiful. The rides are crazy and exciting! The parking is huge so it's a really long walk and the price of the ticket and the parking is something that I could book a city trip from. Many stories in Dutch but the app is very helpful to translate and see waiting times etc.
Great place to spend a wonderful time for kids and adults. Absolutely must visit if you are in the Netherlands.
Great theme-park with lots of beautiful fairytale panoramas, child friendly and cheerful surroundings. Also very nice for the nostalgic with all the well known fairytales...
We have really enjoyed out stay in Efteling. It was very quite because of the bad weather forecast, so there were no queues, and Efteling was open till 23:00 - mid summer night. It really feels like a fairytale, both for children and adults, every time we go there.
Would have been 5 stars but now getting too busy with the expansion and addition of the new hotels. Also the little things that used to make the place memorable seem to have stopped and the menus at some of the restaurants had less dishes than previously available.
Nice amusement park. Less busy and well adapted to the COVID19 situation.
Very good for families, built very family friendly. The roller coasters are okay, if you need adrenaline, choose another park, it s rather a theme park, made pretty detailed. We were lucky, almost no waiting lines. All in all worth a visit, especially with younger children.
Its a wonderful place to visit. Kids really enjoyed alot. One day is not enough at all. Its good to download efteling app before you go so you can plan your visit.
Super fun! Would definitely recommend going, with or without kids. Has most stuff in several languages!
A fairytale land, perfect for young and old people. There's rollercoasters, slow rides with beautiful stories around it and lots of food options. Also great in winter to get that winter wonderland vibe.
Great time some rides were closed but still didn't get time to do all the ones that were open despite the fact there were no queues. Would definately go again in winter i would imagine it gets very busy in the summer months....
Go To Tip when in Holland. Offers a great experience for the entire family. One ore more days are easily filled here. Attractions vary from beautiful decorated extreme rides for the oldest ones amongst your family. And mesmerizing story based experiences for the smallest ones.
Amazing theme park in the Netherlands. Nice rollercoasters, great variety of other attractions. Perfect for a nice day out. Customer service department isn't great though.
Awesome place and attractions and some good food. All the family enjoyed it from crazy rides to fun rides to good water rides. Amazing day out.
I love this place! I have no words for this wonderful place ! I recommend it if you want to go back to a magical childhood memories!
Nice amusement and winter theme park but I think its expensive.
Absolutely wonderful, both for kids age 1,3,5 and for their parents.. :)
Even the child's rides were fun for adults. Great mix of rollercoasters and relaxing rides and walking exhibits.
Only one Rollercoaster open on a Weekend.
Booked with a group of adults very disappointing.
Even when trying to find a solution with the reception, no suggestions for a discount.
We have a 2 and 5 year old and they loved it. Stayed the whole day.
Great themepark, with plenty of different things to do, for young and old. Good food as well, with load of different things to choose from. With average pricing. You'll see the same prices in other Dutch restaurants.
This is the must-go amusement park in the Netherlands. Don t worry if the average age is 30+ because we still had a blast.
Superb experience,.. Really awesome place..if you like daredevil roller coaster rides then yes you're at perfect search. 4-5 kind of roller coaster rides, various kind of themes, boat safari & one of the ride which will give you experience of water rafting..that one i really liked. One of the play from live performing artist was also really nice experience. There act was really good that it felt like real. In the evening you can enjoy the dancing fountains with various kind of lights & music. Various kind of snack shops are there & also restaurants are available over there. Best wishes..
Amazing park really good for all kids and adults however had accident on the Bob sleigh as the bars went up it took my nail off and bent my finger blood everywhere this is kids ride to would not recommend that ride they are closing this ride soon because they are aware it not safe got told by staff
Very good attractions, friendly personnel and very good food options for a fun park.
Great Parc, looks magic and there is a lot to do for the whole family
The Efteling is hands down the best theme park I've ever visited. From dark fairytales to state-of-the-art thrill rides (you have to check out the Baron) this park has it all. The attention to detail is incredible and it's easy to get immersed in the experience. The Efteling mainly caters to the Dutch, but English speakers will find the park easy to navigate with translations readily available. Highly recommended!
Efteling is theme park.
In my opinion this park is made for each and everyone who want to enjoy the day.
There are lots of beating ride which makes you crazy.
There are lots of rides for small children.
You can spend your full day here.
Amazing place! Spend a day there, then go back a bazillion times.
Nice amusement park. Small and a bit dated. None of the rides are really big but they are fun. Everyone is seemingly well behaved which helps.
Very nice amusement park , I spent entire day at this place. A unique park in the middle of nature. The littlest ones.
Wonderful theme park with fun things to do and see for all people.
I love this please

Best theme park in Europe. Much nicer atmosphere than many others. I've come here for 50 years and still enjoy it as much as the first time.
This is a hard one to score. The rides are great but suffer from poor/long queues. The restaurants are very average and of course expensive.
It is definitely a nice place to visit. But, I often feel that I didn't quite get my money's worth when I leave. Also, extra opening hours are not for the rides, which is poorly communicated.
My favourite place to be. The park has something for everyone and can even be enjoyed even if you don't go on any of the rides. The theme is "fairy tales" and it is lovely as the theme is Incorporated in every single detail of the park. I love the place!
Efteling is cute and small. More something for familys with little kids. (Can't compete with Europa Park in Germany ) The food is horrible, but staff is really friendly... We rented a house in the Bosrijk, was sooooo nice
Fantastic amusement park. We had a great time with our kids (ages 4 and 6).
They say it's for all ages, but I think a kid would enjoy it more than a young adult.
And there's some cool rides, one of them called "Baron" is definitely a good one.
Beautiful theme park with its own unique ambiance. It's my personal favorite park. If you want to have a great day with the whole family where everyone can enjoy them then look no further.
Love how much thought was put in all the attractions, especially the newer ones. Even in the lines you can enjoy the view and ambiance. The food is not that great and neither are the souvenirs. You can easily spend a full day here even when there aren't many other visitors, so come early if you don't want to miss out on anything before the park closes.
Overall great theme park, certainly ride wise on par with Disney Paris in my view with less crowds.
Excellent theme park, different to Disneyland Paris, well worth a visit
Magnificent ! Must to visited! It is a dream became true! I really love this park
Fabulous. It brought us back to our inner child. I will never forget!
Huge theme park that offers a great family experience. Loved it
Best theam Park ever. Highly recommended. Lockers at the entrance and its better pre order tickets in order to save the line at the casa.
Beautiful and so much amazing things to do and see. For all people
Amazing place lots of activities, restaurants and fun things. 10/10
Just as good as the more popular named theme parks. Great rollercoasters and lots to do for all ages
Amazing place, the level of detail that goes into everything, and I mean everything , is amazing. Been twice now and will come again. Eateries everywhere and fresh water spots to refill your water bottle. I observed how very considerate of guests with disabilities .
An amusement park with a lot to do for all ages! There app is very useful if you want to know the wait time for rides. There are a lot of bathrooms and they are relatively clean. Food from all over the world so it always smells really good. The rides are obviously very fun and thrilling!
Excellent choice for kids. We've been there with 3, 7, 8 and 11 years old and they just loved Efteling!
One of the best theme parks with amazing attractions. Easy parking. The newest attraction called "Symbolica" has usually the highest waiting time, just skip it, it is wasted time, nothing special. Providing lockers at the entrance would be useful service.
Beautifully crafted, very stylish and coherent in that style (Anton Pieck). Brings back great childhood memories of you happen to be dutch.
My and my fam favorite place to go. Always fabulous and happy memories made. Highly recommend.
Efteling is a better theme park than any of Disney's parks, in my opinion. Their dedication to storytelling and attention to detail makes for an amazing experience!
Super nice in the winter, lots of decorations and foodstalls! Cosy atmosphere, not too expensive as well. Ticketing service on app was great!
Dream place for kids and adults alike. There is something for everyone and every age. Winter time it's still open and great for Christmas. Not many attractions are closed during winter. It can get crowded but this is normal for such a place.
Very beautiful themepark for young and old. Theres something for anyone. :)
One of the oldest and most pitoresk attractions parcs of Western Europe, De Efteling!
Great place for kids and adults. Visiting this place makes you feel like a chikd again. It's like being in fairytale. All rollercosters are nice too, especially Python and Baron, the new one.
Amazing magical Kingdom. Great value and superb for young kids. Ours 5 & 2yr olds had a blast during our three day visit. Already talking about going again when they are big enough to ride the big rides!
Fantastic place, solid rides and an all round awesome experience! Waiting times are not long this time of year either so even more fun to be had! Not expensive once inside which is nice
Just awesome. Expensive, but really worth the cost. The quality of the park is amazing. And the park is enormous!
A really nice park, it's also a very large and spread out park so it takes a bit of walking to see everything. The park also contains a huge number of dark rides and walkthrough exhibits. It is located in a nature park and forest and is excellently landscaped. Standout coasters here are Baron 1898 and python. If you want a look at the park check out "Go Theme Parks" on youtube.
Efteling is always a great experience. A lovely park with lots to do for a wide public. I love the fact that it keeps updated. I'm not a big fan of the queues for the popular attractions when it's busy.
Extremely well though of. Love the design and details oriantation
Amazing place to visit with friends or family. We really had lot of fun :D
Very good amusement park for children! Many rides, food courts and beverage variaty.
BTW, the view is extra ordinary! So if possible, send the kids to a ride, and go shoot some pictures of lakes, trees, monuments etc.
Highly recommanded
Charming place. My 5 years old son was very excited so he couldn't sleep after:) He absolutely loved the magical forest with fairytales and covered attractions.
The staff is super friendly.
Definitely will recommend this place
We went as we were encouraged by out Dutch friends and family to go. This is a place that holds special memories for many. I was hesitant at first but by going with a seasoned group, I felt better about the experience. It was a rainy day and some attractions close. However the rides we did get to go on were fun. This was considered a quiet day and wait times on the popular rides were between 30 minutes to 60 minutes. I would avoid it during peak times. They are quite strict on the height restrictions. Some have a 110 cm, 120 cm and 140 cm height restriction. There is a cheaper way to get the tickets than advertised but you will need to be on the Dutch version of NH international site and have a Dutch bank account to pay with. Someone did this for us and it includes transport costs to the area. We got off at Tilburg station and we were not able to get on a bus (runs every 15 minutes) as it was full. We ended up taking a taxi which cost us euro 45. That was the down side of the day was being able to get there. We stayed over night at a hotel nearby called guest house hotel kaatsheuv which was very good. It can be a costly day. Dutch attendees usually packed bread, cheese slices and ham slices (from the super market) to bring along which saves a bit of money. Overall worth a visit but plan ahead.
Great experience! Get the Efteling app in advance, is very convenient for wait time, reservations, tickets, map etc...
Efteling is absolutely amazing. The staff have planned every detail of everything throughout the park. Everything was perfectly clean and tidy. It was a great day out.
We had a lovely holiday. There is a lovely fairy tales walk. Very good roller-coasters . We went late August not much queuing for any of the rides and is very family friendly.
What can I say about one of the best theme parks in the world? I am visiting it every year. If you are looking for a magic experience, here you will have it. It has so many good things, however in my last 2 visits, the park was "overwhelmed" by huge amounts of guests collapsing the entire park services. I would recommend you to plan a visit outside high season. The park has so many secret places and it requires you to be part of the magical place. Once you have done it, you will discover a fantastic place to be. The servcie of this park is by far the BEST I have seen in Europe.
Lovely place! Was like wonderland! Just incredible!
Great place to take your family/friends or just go it solo. Many fun rides to choose from, many restaurants and games to play. Much to take it in all in one day. Rides to surely get on arr: The Baron, Thd Python, The Flying Dutchman...... Great fun pictures you can collect from each ride also not forgetting to stop at one of the many gift shops.
Disability is like a huge issue for the staff working in the park. They not friendly at all. Was a disappointment.
Fantastic place, caters for all ages. Staff always smiling.
A fantastic day for the whole family. Whether you want to get your adrenaline going or simply want to live the fairy tale dream it's all there in addition to beautiful boat rides, scenery and scrumptious food.
It's a great theme park and a lot of fun for the entire family, both big and small! We went with small kids (3 and 7) and there were plenty of rides they could enjoy as well. The park is well organised, restaurants, toilets and bins are everywhere and the staff is very helpful. We stayed at the Efteling hotel which gave us a half an hour early access to the park and some of the busier rides such as Symbolica. We visited the park off peak (February) and it was less busy and hardly any queing. I also highly recommend getting some pancakes at the resto next to Symbolica. They have both savoury and sweet! Yummy!
I visided with my wife who is dutch. It seemed to carry much nostalgia for her because she had been previously when she was younger. Visiting for the first time as an adult, it offered quite a unique experience. The puppets and anomatrons were very intriging and many of the rides were fantastic. Minus one star because there was lots of stuff that was worn down and/or not upkept very well plus many, if not most of the shops were closed along with half of the rides. I might have given three stars if it wasn't my wifes favorite place to go.
What an incredible experience! Wonderful fairy forest, great children's fantasy world. Awesome rides. Authentic Dutch food. Wifi available. If you have children this is a must.
