Xmas - see Caro. We so love it here, came a few years ago, when the children were early tweens, and have just returned. Doesn’t work quite as well now they’re older (Kevin & Perry awkward) but that’s because they’re ‘at that age’ teenagers; even then worth it. What a fantastic place. And if you’re going to come, stay for a few nights, and make sure you take in the CARO show. It’s like a small Cirque du Soleil done just for you - spectacular, and I’d forgotten how awesome it was until I’ve just seen it a second time. Still magic :)

A huge fairytale park for all ages, we could not do the whole tour of the park because of so many things to see and do, but also because of so many people around. According to affluence stats, on that day the capacity of the park was at its 71%. It was tough, long cues (45-60mins). Next time, we'll book two days or come outside holiday season. Beautiful aqua and light show at the closure of the park. Absolutely breathtaking!

We were here last June and It was so unforgettable. We bought our tickets right just at the entrance ticket counters, it was a long queue but fast. The park team were really friendly and accommodating. The Gondoletta water boat ride, Max and Moritz, The Vliegende Hollander, Lokomotive train ride and the Piraña river are the rides I can definitely recommend for oldies alike that we definitely enjoyed. That was all exciting and fun. It is a very huge fairy tale - amusement Park. A sight seeing , a walk, shows, foods/snacks, drinks, every corner is Top! a must visit in Netherlands!

I last visited c. 35 years ago and it didn't disappoint! Loved all the rides and great well-priced food options. All the staff were helpful and kind and genuinely happy. We stayed at the Landhuys in Bosrijk (cheapest option) which was great. Visiting in mid -Feb queues were no issue. We also loved the show, Caro. Tips: 1. book your evening restaurants in advance as they get full, but the delivery pizzas were quick and tasty. 2. You can leave your luggage at the store near the main entrance for free if you're staying. 3. Getting the last rides before close is definitely worth it for extra fun. 4. If you're coming into Schiphol it's easy to buy a train/bus ticket to Efteling from the machines in the station.

This is a lovely little park with good theming. At the moment there is a lot of work going on around the park so it wasn’t looking it’s best. The wooden rollercoaster is excellent and Baron is wonderfully themed. The other coasters are just average. There are some usual and unique rides but they are for a younger audience. The snack outlets are very good and I can recommend the bakery for the lemon curd cake. Lots of variety of eating places for full meals or snacks so good for trying new foods. We had a good time but as rollercoaster fans we didn’t feel there were enough thrill rides for us.

We spent a day here (a Sunday) when we were visiting the Netherlands. It wasn't too busy and there was some construction going on so not all the rides were open. However, we mostly went for the thrill coasters which were all open. The wooden roller coaster and the Baron were our favourite. The lines weren't too long. The fairytale forest was lovely - perfect for a wind down after having lunch to settle my stomach before launching back into rides again. The park was clean and the people were friendly. The only disappointment was the food. It was quite bland and the pizza we had at the theatre was very greasy. Overall, we are very glad we visited Efteling and would reccomend that theme park fans take at least a day to go visit when in the Netherlands!

We've been to multiple theme parks around the world including Disneyland Tokyo, Six Flags, Merlin Parks etc and this is our favourite by far! Amazing rides, beautiful theming, good thrills and very kind friendly. Food options great too! We spent 2 days over Easter and never waited longer than 25 minutes for a ride. Top tip: eat lunch in the Gondola / Steam Train! Thank you Efteling!

Visited this park with a 11 and just turn 15 year old. We had an amazing two days over the Easter weekend. The park is beautiful and there is something for everyone. I especially liked there is no paid fast pass line. This is so great makes for a much better atmosphere. It was very busy when we were there but the queues are managed so well the longest wait was 40 mins. We stayed over night in the loons land hotel and it was fantastic. A must is the show caro it’s an extra cost but it was one of the best shoes I’ve seen, truly moving. All the staff are lovely and friendly and just make it a fantastic atmosphere.

The park is amazing and it is definitely one of the best parks I’ve been. However, there are tons of room for improvement. We visited on a very Busy day (that weeks before was advertised as a Lively day) and we didn’t have time to do everything we wanted. I know that is advised to visit the park over 2 days but we’re visiting the Netherlands from abroad and couldn’t allot more than 1 day to the park. My issue is that they can be way more efficient. We were staying at the Hotel so we could enter 30 mins earlier. They let us in before that time but we were on hold right at the entrance until 9:30am. The park is huge, by the time we walked to our first ride it was already 9:50am. 2 big rides didn’t open until 1pm so when they did open the lines were over 1 hour, and we saw many cars with empty seats. The only ride we saw with all the seats filled was Symbolica. Apart from our first ride of the day we spend 40-70 mins in line for every other ride we did. Kids were cutting the lines and parents were later joining them and no one cared about it. The park should have longer opening hours during busy times, or at least offer a paid Fast Pass for people like us with limited time. This may have been our only visit and while the park is great, our visit was not.

This was our first trip here and it definitely won’t be our last. From start to finish we were so impressed. The park is huge so even on very busy days doesn’t feel overwhelming. The queue control system is very well managed and on our last day ( the busiest) we still weren’t waiting stupid times. The option of child swap and single rider also makes it more efficient. The app is great, you can plan your route based on wait times, it’s really useful knowing which rides will be under maintenance as well. The rides themselves are so well designed that you feel like they are actually immersing you and telling the story, loads of attention to detail and some unexpected surprises in some of them. The variety was great and even though the park is really well suited to younger children there is also a good selection for those who prefer more thrilling rides. There is always seating and food available, never long queues and in some places you can pre order food and collect when it’s ready. We found prices to be fair, we never felt that we paid over the odds for anything. The additional shows are also a fantastic extra to partake in if you’re staying, we thoroughly enjoyed Caro. We stayed at Bosrijk and it was great. Clean, comfortable, food at breakfast was tasty, my son loved having access to the pool. On our first night we ordered pizza to the room as we were tired after travelling and spending the day at the park, it arrived bang on time and was delicious. All the staff we encountered during our stay were lovely. We described this place as a mixture of Alton towers, Disney and a German Market. I’ve not taken my son to Disney but i think if you’re expecting Disney you will find it’s different, it is not as commercial, however theme parks in Britain are not a patch on this place, it is so well managed and you can tell that their guests experience come before profit. my son enjoyed it so much he was walking around asking if it was real, I can’t wait to book another trip.
