“GREAT PLACE TO VISIT!!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 24, 2012 NEW

I can only imagine how much better Efteling would be if I spoke Dutch and if I was 5 years old! The "Fairytale Land" is superb...even without understanding a word. Efteling is like a little Disneyland without the ridiculous prices and commercialism.....don't get me wrong I like Disneyland....and California Adventure and Epcot BUT this place is something special! The rides... More

“All you can dream of!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 2, 2012

I have been there so many times allready, but can't get enough! There is so much to do for all kind of ages! I really liked the fairytail forest. But 'Droomvlucht', 'Fata morgan' and 'Vogelrok' are my favourite! More

“Like a real fairytale”

The Efteling is truly one of the best parcs I've seen. Some places are like a true fairytale, others are quite scary, you will be impressed, amused, scared, wet, thrilled... whatever it can be found here. There are also a lot of places to eat and drink. There are 5 big "countries" with a different style of attractions. Every "country"... More

“Effteling for Adults”

De Effteling is a great place for kids but also for adults. I am not a big fan of thrilling rides, but there is something for everyone. Take your most comfortable walking shoes, it is a big place and very busy. Very enjoyable though for all ages. More

We'd never heard of Efteling, being from the UK, but we were delighted that it had attractions that appealed to everyone in the party from scary roller-coasters for the teens to the slowers stuff for the older members (though we still enjoyed some of the rough stuff!). The attention to detail in the staging of the attractions on site and... More

Nice park with lots to do and see for everyone. Playground and slow rides for the little ones and white knuckle rides for the older kids. Pity that they allow smoking everywhere. More

We visited the Efteling for 3 days and stayed overnight at Bosrijk (cfr. my review). We didn't have much luck with the weather but had a good time after all. A number of the attractions and rides are indoor, so rain doesn't ruin everything. First of all, the staff at the Efteling is just wonderful and so helpful! I know... More
