About this place
Efteling is a forest full of fairytales — an animatronic Fairytale Forest for little ones, genuinely thrilling coasters like Baron 1898 for the rest — with a level of craft that makes other parks look plasticky. It's ninety minutes from Amsterdam, and far less crowded than Disney. Go midweek outside Dutch school holidays and you'll walk onto almost everything.
