    What an amazing experience!! Best 8 hours I’ve spent at sub-zero temperatures in my life. Could easily have stayed longer. The rides were great and all the themed displays inspiring. I can well imagine that it can get quite full when it’s warmer, but we did not have any queues on the day.

    We have visited the location more of curiosity due to the fact we are not very much into amusement parks. But we had lots of fun in various places, from Max&Moritz to Baron... 😂. In the end we had a great day, full of everything. We'll return here gladly! What I liked the most it was the fact that each attraction had a story behind and it was completely integrated in the park. Suitable for small kids or big kids just like myself turning 49 next month 😂

    Very satisfying! Not the DISNEY style, but the mood lasts no less than its. You can see lots of details in all aspects, and you may not like them all but they all maters! From their website, APP(IT’S BRILLIANT), the design of all the attractions, to the activities from on-line to on-site, they are just amazing. The history and the importance in the Dutch people are no need to be mentioned any more. Everyone should come and experience this amazing place! It’s the old story but in an easygoing-yet-not-boring-at-all style.

    Was here back in 2019 on a school trip. Amazing theme park work plenty of rides for anyone who loves coasters. The atmosphere was great too and the music playing throughout the park added to the experience. Food was good and staff were friendly. It was pricey and queues were long but it was worth it! Definitely will return if I get the chance and I do recommend.

    Loved it. We had a lovely day. Especially good for families with smaller kids. Nevertheless, there are great roller-coasters for older kids and adults. The distances in the park are quite long but everything is good connected, there is a steam train going around which stops at different locations. Toilets are everywhere, same as food places. Highly recommend it!

    The place is awesome, so many rides and so thrilling fun. The only drawback was that when we were there, 3 main rides were closed. That’s why I took 1 star off. Always check the rides status before you plan your trip. We went in a weekday in March, the weather was good and the rides were not so busy. The fire and water show in the main lake at the end 18:00 was awesome as well. The staff is very friendly and always willing to help. The best thing was that they would take care of my daughter who was too small to sit on bigger rides while I was enjoying the rides. :) the Fairly takes rides were so nice my daughter and I loved that the most. :) Will visit again when all rides are open. Always keep in mind that you need at least the entire day for the park.

    Excellent park! Went there with my wife and son and we've had lots of fun! We visited the park for 2 days and a half and we still have stuff to visit when we will go back. We stayed at their hotel and the overall experience was wonderful! There are a lot of things to do and visit for all ages, our son has 5 years and he enjoyed everything. We also liked the fact that there is lots of green spaces around, you feel like in a forest all the time with fresh air and large trees around. It seemed a bit crowded sometimes but even so the lines were moving fast and one could enjoy the experiences in a decent amount of time given the crowd. The park application is also helpful as you can see all the places you can see and the estimated waiting time, as well as an integrated navigation map to get around. We will definitely visit again soon!

    (Translated by Google) I think this is the best park you can go to in the Netherlands. There is certainly plenty to do for young and old. Watch beautiful fairytales or go on various roller coasters. Eat something in a restaurant or in a hot dog hut. Travel in a boat or take a train around the park. Ride a dark ride or go on an attraction. Buy souvenirs or a soft hug. Stay overnight. Get a subscription. Etc. You can enjoy yourself here for dozens of hours (so you can't do everything in 1 day) and the great thing is that they have special events and activities every year (depending on what season it is). (Original) Ik vind dit het beste park waar je heen kan gaan in Nederland. Er is zeker weten genoeg te doen voor jong tot oud. Kijk naar mooie sprookjes of ga in diverse achtbanen. Eet iets in een restaurant of in een hotdoghutje. Reis in een bootje of ga met een trein het park rond. Rijd in een darkride of ga in een attractie. Koop souvenirs of een zachte knuffel. Blijf overnachten. Haal een abonnement. Etc. Je kan je hier tientallen uren vermaken (dus je kan niet alles doen in 1 dag) en het mooie is dat ze ieder jaar speciale evenementen en activiteiten hebben (naar aanleiding van welk seizoen het is).

    Awesome theme park for young and old. Great combination of activities and fairy tails. Perfect for the whole family. My personal favorite is "the baron", it's a rollercoaster with a long fall in the beginning. The fairy tail forest is also very amusing. Friendly people who work there 2

    It’s a wonderful place to go with your family or friends. Is a magical land full of story tales for all ages, but the children will remember it forever. It’s got motion pictures and boat rides, mechanical dolls and projections that will blow your mind! Thank you Efteling for a wonderful experience.

    One can never grow old of the Efteling unless you have lost touch of the child within yourself. This delightful amusement fantasy world is a visual and sensory feast for the eyes. Catering for all ages and cleverly incorporating experiences to close the age gap between the parents and children to ensure everyone is capable of having a great time! The fairytale forest is an old fashioned thrill rediscovering an old fairytale or two of a forgotten childhood. The various themed sections each offering a major ride or two ensures an even distribution of people across the entire park. We tried the new theatre attraction Caro and it was a heartwarming story for the ages. This is where the Efteling succeeds is making everyone feel included.

    A fantastic Theme Park for a family day out. Well organized and run. Can be busy but the app helps you monitor the queue times. Plenty to do and see in the park. Bring a little lunch and enjoy the gondola ride on the lake. Overall had a great day out here. Barron and Python were excellent 👌

  • 5/5 Steven T. 8 months ago on Google
    Loved this place. First stop for our holiday to the Netherlands. We stayed in the hotel so could take our time going through the park. The wait times for the rides are generally 20 minutes. Far quicker than any theme park in the UK. Also the food and drink seem quite reasonably priced. Would recommend the Caro show if you get a chance to watch. Would go back again definitely! The app is also a must for directions and also giving you alerts for wait times for the rides.

    I just love Efteling! It is way better than any Disneyland! So authentic and so so like a fairytale! I go with my (now adult) children or even just with my partner 3-4 times a year! This year we celebrated New Year’s Eve at the Efteling,- second time in my life. And (though this time much more people than the first time) it was just awesome! Great music, great light show! Loved the snowy Christmas trees , silent disco etc etc etc! Highly recommend!

    Maybe I am 33 years old, so what? Efteling is nothing less than a magical place that we all wanted to visit in our days of youth. From the moment you start to approach the huge, enchanted entrance and you hear the music, you instantly transformed to what you always wanted to be! A hero of legend, a princess or a prince, a fairy or wizard, a knight or dwarf warrior! The rides are a bit small but well crafted, every little detail is well made with care, all the attractions have that unbelievable fairytale like vibe! A place that I strongly recommend for everyone to visit, especially people who always dreaming and want the life to have a touch of fantasy! Will be visiting again.

    Awesome place for everyone. Every corner there is food court that you win find in Disneyland Paris. Corona virus are well implemented. Rides are awesome. Free access of clean water everywhere. WC can be found near every ride. Well maintained and clean park. Park officials are polite. Efteling to Den Bosch Central station bus service has limited service. Overall 5/5

    A great place for children and people of all ages. This amusement park has plenty to do, from leisurely boating to rollercosters. All this in a beautiful fairy-tale setting. The best park in the whole of the Netherlands. I sincerely recommend.

    Really wonderful, magical and fun place to visit with friends! So impressed with the quality and details put into the park. Every experience is well thought out. Such a nice variety of things to do. Food was well priced, not what I expected (compared to other big theme parks). Interactive map on their app is great, you get to see the live waiting time for all the rides. So all in all it was a magical day!

    Very well organized theme park I’ve ever been to. I was skeptical at first cuz of the price but decided to go for it. And it turned out to be the best decision. We are not a fan of roller coasters so this fantasy theme park is just right for me and my kid. The park opens at 10-19 and we were there the whole day without feeling bored at all. I’ve been to many amusement parks and most of them wouldn’t excite me after couple of hours. What I like is that you can take a train to go from one side of the park to the other. This saves us lot of time to walk around and that we can have an overall glimpse of what they have. I would say this park has everything to offer for all ages. 👍highly recommended 👍

    We didn't have much time here today as we came in late from the airport. Luckily we went with somebody who has a season pass regularly. We went on nearly every ride that was running. This park is definitely for the entire family. It has roller coasters that are nice and smooth. Laid out nice to mix things up and plenty of shade.

    The garden was wonderful and each section was more beautiful than the other. We spent a whole day in the garden and did not play all the games and see all the sections. I think the garden is enough for two days. There are also free offers throughout the day, many restaurants and gift shops, and also simple games for younger children, the place is organized It is tidy and clean, and each game has a different story. It is true that the queues are long, but everything is organized. Also, the workers there are nice and cooperative. I recommend it to everyone, and of course I will go again

    We had a fantastic time. The rides were great. The longest que was around 30 minutes on the best ride which is understandable because it was really exciting to ride it. I cannot fathom how some kids were using the rides but everyone had fun which is great.

    Einer der besten Freizeitpark für klein und groß. Der Eintrittspreis ist super, wir waren an einem Sonntag bei 23°C dort, pure Sonne, aber der Park war nicht zu voll. Mit ein wenig überlegen wo man hin geht, wartet man echt nur max. 15 Minuten. Die App vom Park ist ebenso genial, alle Fotos gibt es dort zum Download oder auch Benachrichtigung wann welche Show anfängt oder wenn die warte Zeit kürzer geworden ist.

    An amusement park mainly for children, and a few roller coasters for adults, especially the scary Baron. A wonderful talking tree that fascinates. A city that is in panorama and with small details of life and trains. And you should definitely stay in the evening for the musical fountain performance! It's magically aesthetic.

    Super. Great park, with lots see and do. Would 100% recommend! Went with family of 4 people, 2 adults, 8yr old and 12 year old and all had a great time. Ice skating was a lovely extra and very reasonably priced (2.5euro per person) Because we visited midweek in December (tuesday) there was pretty much no queues to get on any ride. Loved the atmosphere and it wasn't too far to walk anywhere to any of the rides or attractions. Attention to detail is great and the theme is carried throughout the park, really did feel like you were in a magical elf land.

    We love spending a day here. Some great roller coasters. Park is always clean, the gardens are always amazing. Food choice is great and nicely priced. Great theme which is carried through the whole park. Shame not much is in English, but is doesn't stop us coming back.

    I’ve been to the Efteling on and off again in the past 5 years. With our most recent visit, it’s time to put it all down in a few words! The Efteling is truly a magical place where you can spend hours without even noticing. It’s fun for the entire family: kids, teens and adults. The attractions are thrilling (like the Baron) and expertly themed (like droomvlucht). If you are thinking of visiting (which I highly recommend) make sure to check a few things: - if you visit with younger children, take your time. Two days instead of a single day will allow you to go through the park at your own pace. Make sure to book a lodging at one of their resorts! - try to visit on less busy days! Their website has great information on when the less busy days will be - don’t forget to look at their website to find which rides are open and which aren’t! Don’t be surprised when you arrive, as some attractions undergo maintenance during the less busy months (mostly in the winter and spring) Have fun!

    Wow what an amazing park. Great for all ages. Even with Snow and Ice rides still ran, staff still very freindly and efficient. Just get your visit booked you will not regret it.

  • 5/5 Meriwin Q. 3 months ago on Google • 12 reviews New
    Whilst the park was extremely busy on second day of Christmas the day was amasing and magical indeed. The winter theme is really well executed (and big as well). The evening lights are sublime. Rides added since I last visited some 12 years ago all seem to be great choices, also offering more thrilling rides. The Flying Dutchman ride embodies the theme park feel with a unique experience. The closing show at the big lake near the entrance is a must see!

    are you someone who lives outside england ? come on in ! it is great fun and that truth. take this from somone who has been to over 10 different themeparks. this is either ranked 2nd or 3rd best behind disney land. rides are amazing theres different types and for different ages. waiting is long but not too long so dont worry. food there isnt overpriced for a themepark but still little much. i advise to take your own. theres some spectacular thing such as the magical forest and the slow water journey ride. in general i would give it 8 if youre alone and 10 if its more than one person. be sure to give this a like so more people can view

    (Translated by Google) Bought tickets for the winter efteling via the site of the efteling. € 43.00 per ticket more expensive than normal, but well worth it. Reserved through the site, fine. Unfortunately then the lockdown came. Now our tickets (bought in November) are only valid until March 28th. If we cannot then, unfortunately money is gone. You can no longer get a refund, up to 14 days after purchase. I think this is really scandalous of Efteling, to say the least. (Original) Kaartjes gekocht voor de winterefteling via de site van de efteling. €43.00 per kaartje duurder dan normaal, maar goed dat is het ook waard. Gereserveerdvia de site, prima . Helaas toen kwam de lockdown. Nu zijn onze kaartjes (gekocht in November)maar geldig tot 28 maart. Mochten we dan niet kunnen, helaas geld weg. Geld terug krijgen kan niet meer, dat kan tot 14 dagen na aankoop. Ik vind dit echt op zijn zachts gezegt schandalig van de Efteling.

    Love it! It's the most amazing and magical park in the Netherlands. Magic lives here. Parking is great and always an option around the park. I think they could have made it less expensive but that's up to the park. The rides are full of magic and imagination. They really tried to make the park accessible during the corona crisis.

    This amusement park is one of the best in the Netherlands. Definitely worth the visit. They have walking routes due to COVID-19, they even make sure there is always enough space between you and the other visitors while queuing. All the attractions are still open and the evening is closed with a fabulous water show

    Efteling keeps amazing every time you visit. The park is beautifully kept and the attractions are varied for all age groups and interests. The food in the park is also varied, not too expensive for funpark standards and actually good. One day is not enough for seeing everything. Going on a weekday to avoid the bigger crowds is best, but if you have no choice it's still doable with the app. It tracks waiting times per ride and has a map. Very useful!

    Unique theme park... Not self branded but using the old fairy tales caractures as ones... Great adventure for the little ones as much as for the adults... The stroll through the fairytale forest, the attractions for everybody (from 0 to 99), fun, thrill and enjoyment for the whole family.

    Amazing experience for kids & adults. We spent 12 hours in the park (from 10am to 10pm) and it was enough for us to see everything we want. Everybody working there was nice. The park is super clean. Lots of themes for every taste and every age. The wait for attractions was more than okay when comparing to previous experiences in Belgium and France (no more 15 minutes and you don’t feel it). If you can, download their app, you can definitely see everything from there : time wait, map, restaurant… seriously we spent an amazing day. The big plus for us is the price point. Even the food and drinks were the cheapest we had in a park. Congratulations Efteling, we highly recommend !

    It was such great fun for everyone! The rides are super fun. They have quite a big selection, and some rides are really for adrenaline freaks, but there are also quite a lot of fun rides for people who want something easier. They have 2 queues for most popular rides, one for groups of people (25 min wait), and the single riders queues (5min wait). We mostly used single rider queues and still didn't manage to see the whole park. The food choices in the park are quite good and also affordable.

  • 5/5 Jennifer Y. 10 months ago on Google
    One of the oldest theme parks in the world! Efteling Park is a fantasy theme park (based on myths, legends, fairy tales and folklores) that opened in 1952. It’s two hours out of Amsterdam by public transport. We spent a full day there, from 1000 to 1800h. There are plenty of rides for both adults and kids. Queues while long, moved quite quickly. Should you have a free day while in Amsterdam and not sure what to do, you can consider this! Also, don’t forget to download their free app. It’s very helpful. You can sync it with your tickets (if you have bought them). The app tells you distance of attractions and shows from your location and respective wait time. What’s more, you can even set reminders for shows and rides, and get notification for certain wait times.

    It was the best amusement park we've visit in Europe so far. Even better than Europa park that we love. Attention to the details, fantastic buildings, decorations and attractions. Best park for 1,10 cm height kids. Almost all attractions are available. Also reccomend to visit the Cargo show. We've spend there 2 full days and that was enough to explore it.

    Such a brilliant family day out, long opening hours 10am til 10pm which is brilliant to get to do everything. Not that we managed to do everything like the nest park. But we done all the rides we wanted to, like the app which tells you how long the queues are and can set notifications when they get shorter which is brilliant. Only downside is the carparking price ¢12.50 is quite alot on top of everything. But overall it was brilliant day out.

    Very nice for 3 days with 2 kids. Queues were between 20 and 50 minutes a bit everywhere. Understandable for a weekend. Rides are diverse enough for any tastes and family composition. We loved the early entry for the hotel guests. We could enjoy the busy rides like this.

    Really enjoyed this place - loads of rides catering for all ages; the queues were fine and the live updates tell you what's busy; food was much better than expected and not as outrageously priced as other, similar places; and the whole feel was much more interesting and quirky than Disney.

    I visited Efteling as a surprise for my older sister's bday gift. We enjoyed it as adults. Such a nostalgic feeling of fairytales of our childhood. The attractions were brilliant and lovely. We had fun and definitely when it's gonna be a new hotel in 2024 as it stated. I will come for a longer weekend trip.

    Once in a lifetime experience l, and one of a must go themed park in the NL. It's really impossible to finish the whole area within a day, so my suggestion is take the train to get a sight of what and where you want to go first. Avoid the weekend, you'll be trapped in a long queue line, especially for their roller coasters thingy

    The place is well organized with multiple areas listed in a map. I highly recommend downloading the EFTELING APP which contains; live map, waiting time for each ride, restaurants, shops and everything you need to now about the park. Also you can download the photos from each ride. Kids will have more fun there because they have plenty of rides suitable for them. I loved every details there. Don’t miss out the Magical garden inside the park!

    The Efteling is consistently enjoyable, regardless of crowd size or closures. During my recent visit, construction was underway on the parking lot, entrance, several attractions, and a new hotel. While these constructions detracted from the visual appeal and somewhat dampened the atmosphere, I still had a fantastic time. The park's charm persists, especially in the smaller fairy tales. I highly recommend visiting the Efteling, as I have always done and will continue to do so.

    It was such a lovely experience & even if you booked tickets for a full day, you’re unable to see all their attractions! Two downsides would be the very long cues & nearly hour of waiting for the rides plus when buying hotdogs or food they don’t use gloves & hair caps which is unhygienic.

    Fantastic theme park, fairy take theme with a nice mix of rides from extreme to super-mild, and animations. Price fair, lower than most, incl done places with far less. Queues low to reasonable (no fast track option but many rides have sole-rider queues), only one ride bad all day. Only food could be better, though less rubbish than most theme parks (and it’s almost all tasty). Could use more coffee availability. Especially recommend the fairy dreamhouse, what they call the “madhouse”, the light show and the beautifully restored ancient carousel. Staff friendly and helpful.

    Covid has affected the numbers at the park, which helped in waiting lines. Loved it, not flashy like Disney parks, lots of character, enough stuff for older teenages. Stayed in Efteling hotel at the park, very convenient to walk to the park & nice hotel. Even the slow white boat ride around the lake was enjoyable.

    Stunning theme park with something for all ages. Beautifully designed and imaginative creations entertained all the children we saw. Would have appreciated more control personnel to check the wandering smokers who seemed to wish to impress folks by ignoring the rules and choking people with their disgusting habit.

    Incredible amusement park! The attractions are very good quality and such fun. The roller coasters were my most favourite. The Viking ship is also very good. It’s an amusement park with various options for young children that can also be enjoyed by adults and is sure to be fun for the whole family but it’s also an amazing daytrip with friends! My and three of my girl friends came from Amsterdam and had an amazing girls trip. The food at the park is amazing, we had hotdogs and they were very good, I had the vegan and it was amazing and my friends loved the traditional one as well. The caramel popcorn was also delish and so were the chips (fries) and the Kaassouffle. The park has a few shops great for souvenir or toys shopping but it also sells candy like candy floss and Tony chocolonely bars. They provide you with lockers for a fair price in case you don’t want to go around with all your items. We went in the winter and it was all Christmas decorated and rather empty which was good because we could go on pretty much most of the rides, a few of them twice. I’d definitely recommend it if you are planning a fun daytrip from Amsterdam with friends or with kids! Very easy access by train.

    Amazing park with great entertainment. It's an amusement park with attractions for all ages, and full of traditional fairytales. The price is fair for what it offers. You must go with enough energy to enjoy. There are also beautiful flowers and landscapes to see. It is a Dutch Disneyland, but less commercial and cheaper. It's so worth visiting, I recommend it!

    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 :)

    (Translated by Google) Efteling has been our best place to be for several years now. We are one of the exotic few German subscription holders. The park may not impress the adrenaline junkies that much. In search of more and more "higher-faster-further" there are certainly other parks that have more to offer. But there is definitely no other park that leaves such a magical overall impression with so much attention to detail. Efteling is more than just an "amusement park"; but a nature park that has grown visibly over the decades, which also focuses on the landscape, nature and flair. Have spent great days here without having been on a single train. We are always happy to be here and as soon as we step in, we feel absolute deep relaxation. Escapism deluxe. 😉 (Original) Efteling ist jetzt schon seit einigen Jahren unser best place to be. Zählen uns zu den exotischen wenigen deutschen Abonnementhouders. Der Park mag die Adrenalin-Junkies nicht so sehr beeindrucken. Auf der Suche nach immer mehr "Höher-Schneller-Weiter" gibt es sicherlich andere Parks, die mehr zu bieten haben. Aber ganz sicher gibt es keinen Park, der mit so viel Detailverliebtheit einen so zauberhaften Gesamteindruck hinterläßt. Efteling ist einfach mehr als nur ein "Freizeitpark"; sondern ein sichtbar über die Jahrzehnte gewachsener Naturpark, der eben auch die Landschaft, die Natur und den Flair in den Mittelpunkt stellt. Haben hier schon großartige Tage verbracht, ohne auf einer einzigen Bahn gewesen zu sein. Wir sind immer wieder gerne hier und sofort beim Betreten stellt sich absolute Tiefenentspannung ein. Eskapismus deluxe. 😉

    (Translated by Google) Last weekend we were in the winter eel. Because of Corona, there are strict measures that were also enforced by the staff. Compliments for this. It was a very cold day with 3 degrees Celsius. Not being allowed to stay in the catering establishments to warm up was therefore not easy. A few terraces with patio heaters would not be a luxury. Furthermore, this remains a top park with very nice attractions. Too bad the entrance fee is so high. (Original) Afgelopen weekend waren we in de winterefteling. Vanwege Corona gelden er strenge maatregelen die ook werden gehandhaafd door het personeel. Complimenten hiervoor. Het was met 3 graden een erg koude dag.

Everything we tried was tasty and arrived fast. The app was perfect indicating waiting times. Nice parking facilities and super fast entry. Only issues that most stuff were in dutch although the park caters to an international audience and it was extremely busy (it was 1st Sunday of autumn holidays in Netherlands). Of course no one was respecting any measures/rules. Nice value for money compared to other parks.

    Efteling is an amazing theme Park. It is fairly large and has a solid amount of attractions, and it’s beautiful. I didn’t see every corner of the park, but I rode all of the major rides. There is something for everyone and no ride that could be too intense for someone. Be aware of the crowds though, this park has a high attendance. As much as I recommend the visit, it’s still not my favorite park in the Netherlands, that would be Toverland.

    Really sweet and beautiful family park. The park does definitely have some larger rides (including Baron which was disappointingly closed both days we were there) but ultimately I think it's an ideal park for families. The number of ride and experiences that are perfectly catered to 8-13 year olds is just staggering, and easily as impressive as bigger parks like Disneyland Paris. The bigger rides are also really good and the food and drink offerings are some of the best value for any theme park I've ever visited.

    I LOVE EFTELING! The best theme park that is out there to my opinion. I go every year on my birthday and it’s always special. This year I even got a button that it’s my birthday (so awesome). It was pretty busy but with the app you can find your way around the park and avoid some unnecessary lines. + on your birthday you get discount of 12,50 for you and your friends!

  • 5/5 Natalia L. 10 months ago on Google
    Great experience! Suggestions for the summer: water, snacks (because local restaurants and food stands have mediocre options at best), comfy shoes (never new ones), band aid in case your shoes do start torturing your feet, sunglasses, cap/sunhat, phone case that has a rope that you can attach like a x-body bag, really handy on fast rides or on the Pagoda one, phone charger, sunscreen and lip balm with SPF. Everything in a backpack, it's allowed to take in, and there's also lockers available. On some rides you can get very dizzy so plan carefully if you have a condition. On some rides you can get water splashed but despite the advice to take spare clothes, I can say it wasn't needed for me because the splashes are manageable and everything dries quite quick in the sun.

    Despite a very wet afternoon, our extended family of 8 had a great time. The weather meant it was quiet, and the longest ride wait was 30 minutes, though mostly 5-10 minutes, and we got to go on all the rides numerous times. The park is easy to navigate. There is a mix of rides for different age groups and preferences. The food was reasonable, and the light show topped off the evening. We felt it was great value for money, and all the kids (ages 11-15) had the best day. The 10pm close time means you get to enjoy a full day without the feeling of rushing around.

    Had a great time there. Went alone and still was extremely fun, the single queue very helped and thanks to it managed to do almost all the rides. A must visit if you are visiting the Netherlands.

    The best amusement park we've ever been to. Everyone is very happy! There are a lot of people here on weekends, but the queue for rides passed very quickly , so you didn't have to wait more than 5 minutes! I recommend it 100%.

    A fantastic day with the family, aging from 11 to 48. There was something for all of us there! Food in the kiosks wasn't too expensive and the app to check wait times for rides and to order photos is really easy to use.

    If you're wondering how to spend a good time and enjoy the weekend or weekdays during your day off from work, that's the perfect place to be. They have amazing rides, lot's of things to discover and explore. Although all the rides have full of people and there would be long queue but it's the way it is. Trick is you can go for the single rides that's much faster but then you'll go alone or with some strangers but that's the fun part. Food place were looking good as well, but I have seen people carrying food with them. Other than that, about the language, they have English options as well but not with the storytelling, which is mostly for the kids. It's completely worthy for a one day trip in the Netherlands. Enjoy your time. ❤️

    Best day out for the kids spent 13 hours in the park! Light show was amazing, rides are super fun. Food at the park is reasonable and fairly priced. This is our second visit and will be back again

    Best entertainment Park in Europe. For the ticket of 50 Euros, you have whole day of crazy and educational attractions. It is so massive that you need minimum 2 days to discover. You can put some food and drinks in backpack, thatfor yours waiting time in line to attractions will be easier.

    Absolutely fabulous theme park! A must do if you're in the Netherlands and especially if you're a fan of fairytales. Perfect for everyone from tiny children to adult only groups. I cannot wait to visit in the winter and see the different decorations!

    An amazing weekend spent here! We stayed in a wonderful woodland cottage in the village of Bosrijk, which was only a 10 minute walk to the park. Staying on site allowed us early entry into the park each day, which meant we were able to tick off some of the bigger rides before the ques got too long. However across the whole weekend we were there the longest wait time was only 40 minutes. There is so much to do, and the kids loved it, ours range in age from 10 to 2 and they all were entertained the whole time. You can add on a photo pass which means you get all of your ride photos and any meet and greet pics across the time you are there. Food wise, there are lots of fast food snacks and treats and some restaurants even have special treats for the kids, such as games, plates and glasses you can take home with you. We loved it so much we are thinking about going back at Christmas.

    Absolutely perfect for families. The rides are fantastic and cover a range of ages (we took 4 and 7yo), and the facilities are geared towards everyone too. Sensible approaches (height wrist bands, 'baby switch' cards) make a seamless experience. Will definitely be back when the little one is old enough to fully enjoy

    Der Park ist sehr schön angelegt und sauber, das Essen war sehr lecker und bezahlbar. Das würde ich sofort weiterempfehlen. Die Attraktionen sind liebevoll und schön gestaltet, die Achterbahnen machen Spaß. Man muss leider lange anstehen, aber das ist halt überall so. Abends hab es noch eine wunderschöne Wassershow am Ausgang. Insgesamt ein gelungener Park Besuch, kann man sich auf jeden Fall ansehen.

    Beautiful and super fun park! 🤩 Many many many attractions, total fun for children and adults. We arrived with my wife (without children so far 😅) at the park at 12:00 and left at 18:00 and still couldn’t manage to try all of the attractions we wanted! The weather in October is very pleasant and it was pure fun! The exciting trains, the effects and the experience of each attraction were perfect! 😍 We couldn’t ask for a better time to have! A very hot recommendation for every tourist and person to visit there! 5 stars out of five!!!

    Efteling is undeniably a magical place that promises a memorable day trip. As an adult visitor, I thoroughly enjoyed my time there, but I must admit that it's truly a paradise for children and families. The park's enchanting ambiance, fairy tale-themed attractions, and interactive experiences are tailor-made for youngsters. It's evident that Efteling excels at creating an atmosphere of wonder and imagination for kids. However, if you're seeking heart-pounding roller coasters akin to those found in the US, you might be a tad disappointed. The coasters here are designed with a shorter duration in mind, primarily catering to younger riders. While they're fun, they don't offer the adrenaline rush you'd find at other international theme parks. In summary, Efteling is a fantastic destination for families with children, offering a unique blend of storytelling and fun. If you're an adrenaline junkie, you might want to temper your expectations, but for an enchanting day out with the little ones, it's absolutely worth it.

    Great place to visit! They have some of the best rides I've seen in Europe, and the queues are not very long during the week. A must see if you're visiting the area

    Beautiful place, plenty to look at and do. The fairy tale theme is so unique. Catered more to younger children, so not a place if you're after hardcore rides. It was extremely busy though.

    This place was a next level experience for me coming from Canada. You don’t get to see parks like this back home at least on the western side of Canada. There was so much to do here we couldn’t get it all done in a day. The rides were spectacular as well entertainment and food and drinks.

  • 5/5 Cosmin N. 6 months ago on Google
    Mindblowing experiences, the rides which are marked as "daredevil with guts" are a must if you visit. The staff is super polite and very welcoming, they pay very much attention to each client. The whole park is out of this world, the atmosphere is relaxing, the music is there to enhance the fairytale mood.

  • 5/5 Stav C. 6 months ago on Google
    What a top attraction. Haven't been there in years, but this is really fun for all ages. I could only remember the fakir, but numerous attractions have been added. From crazy roller coasters, fairytales, peaceful walks in the spacious park to a delicious cup of coffee. Everything is available for reasonable prices and with friendly staff everywhere. The entrance is not cheap, but there are promotions and you really get value for your money.

    I had a fantastic time! Everything was great, from the thrilling rides to the delightful desserts and cafes. The only downside was the restaurants, which I didn't enjoy much. Fortunately, the short wait times in lines and the friendly staff made up for it. I highly recommend this park to anyone visiting the Netherlands; it's a must-visit!

👍👍 A classic it turns out. A magical atmosphere as far as it goes. I love watching this show with my little girl. Music that delights her and me. A tear in my eye from this beautiful moment. Hopefully this is something she will recognize later. We walk further into the fairytale forest again in good...
