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

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.

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!

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!!!

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 👌
