In the Efteling theme park you will find wonderful attractions for the whole family. From rollercoasters to rides past dancing puppets to giants and fairytale forests. As the Netherlands is a pretty small country it\u2019s also quite easy to visit, as people who are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.meetthecities.com\/guide\/amsterdam\/amsterdam-travel-hotels\/\">staying in Amsterdam<\/a> will find that it\u2019s only a train ride away. And it\u2019s even possible to simply stay at the parks own themed hotel.<br><br>\n\nThe Efteling is the biggest theme park in the Benelux and the third most visited theme park in Europe. It also won several awards for being the best theme park in the world. So what exactly makes the Efteling as fun as it is, you ask? A lot of the charm of the Efteling comes from it\u2019s high quality attractions with recognizable designs that incorporate popular fairy tales. Even the colors of the park are designed as if they come from a old and hidden world that you as a visitor gets to rediscover. For obvious reasons it can be a good idea to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.meetthecities.com\/visit\/viator.com\/things-to-do-theme-park-efteling-netherlands\/efteling\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">book your tickets in advance<\/a> to skip the line. So let\u2019s take a look at some of the most interesting things to do in the Efteling theme park. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>The Fairytale Forest (Het Sprookjesbos)<\/h2>\n\n<div class=\"embed-content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nbrE1bcv_Ns\" allowfullscreen=\"\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n\n<p>The Fairytale Forest is a park in the Efteling that shows children that fairytales are actually real. Here you will find giants and other mythical characters from famous children literature, such as the Brothers Grimm, Hans Christian Andersen and Charles Perrault. So expect to find the Little Red Riding Hood, Snow White, The Red Shoes, Rapunzel, a dragon, a mermaid, a talking tree, pinocchio and more classics, which you can enjoy during your relaxing stroll through the park. How many of them can you recognize?<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>Pira\u00f1a<\/h2> \n\n<div class=\"embed-content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fdyaC6_4Ba8\" allowfullscreen=\"\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n\n<p>The Pira\u00f1a is a river rapids ride, which means will take a boat which will drift away on a turmelous ride across the streaming river. As one of the largest attractions of the park, the ride takes a very scenic route as it passes waterfalls and increasingly intense rapids creating a mild scare for the adventurous visitors. The ride has a native American, Aztec, Incan and Mayan theme to it with large statues adding to the fairytale atmosphere of the theme park. The Pira\u00f1a is especially popular during the summer months, as there is nothing more fun than taking a raft across water while enjoying the summer sun.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>The Baron 1898 (De Baron 1898)<\/h2>\n\n<div class=\"embed-content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dCGkm_LpRGM\" allowfullscreen=\"\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n\n<p>The Efteling has multiple rollercoasters. One of them is The Baron 1898. The Baron is a scenic open air rollercoaster ride that\u2019s themed after a Dutch gold mine. It\u2019s a steel dive coaster where the cars have no floor. As you slowly ride upwards the cars come to a standstill, only to proceed to plunge you almost 40 meters down into a haunted gold mine. Only to shoot you out again into the first loop. If you\u2019re not easily scared then this rollercoaster is quite a thrilling experience for the visitors.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Carnival Festival (Carnaval Festival)<\/h2>\n<div class=\"embed-content\"><iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" \nsrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Bn7lDGCO32s\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n\n<p>Have you ever wanted to travel the world? Now you can! The Carnival Festival is a musical ride where your car is driven across cultures from the entire world. You will drive past countries like Japan, Italy, Mexico, Alaska, the UK, Hawaii, China, Germany, South Africa, the Netherlands and more. As you ride through each country you will see moving puppets showing the stereotypical image of that country. A fun detail is that the musical composition of the attraction also changes its instruments to match the music of that country. And within a couple minutes you have journeyed the world. It\u2019s no surprise that this child friendly attraction is probably the most well known attraction of the Efteling in the Netherlands.<\/p>\n\n<h2>The Madhouse (Villa Volta)<\/h2>\n\n<div class=\"embed-content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rGFziqpSwls\" allowfullscreen=\"\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n\n<p>The most haunting attraction in the Efteling is the Villa Volta. It doesn\u2019t scare it\u2019s audience with monsters or jump scares, but with a haunting atmosphere that you won\u2019t find anywhere else. The house is themed after the Dutch folklore of the Buckriders, who were a bunch of thieves that rode through the sky on goats given to them by the devil. In the 18th century criminals in the Netherlands have actually received the death sentence for being part of this nightmarish gang. Villa Volta is said to be the house of one of the Buckriders, which has been cursed for robbing a church.<\/p>\n\n<p>As you enter the mansion the story of the Buckriders is being told in Dutch, as people wait in line for the main attraction. After which you are given a seat in the main hall of the mansion. As you sit down haunting music can be heard and you feel as if the entire building is moving. Soon after the walls start to move as well. And before you know it the entire house is upside down. Is it real or just an illusion? It\u2019s something that you have to experience to believe. Villa Volta is actually one of the first large scale madhouses in the world, but it\u2019s certainly as fun as ever.<\/p>\n\n<h2>The Flying Dutchman (De Vliegende Hollander)<\/h2>\n\n<div class=\"embed-content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QgjHBrTt1oY\" allowfullscreen=\"\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n\n<p>The Flying Dutchman is a famous ghost ship that is doomed to sail the seven seas forever. And now you can enter it as well. This first part of the attraction is a walkthrough where you enter the beautiful house of a captain of the Dutch East India company, only to find out not all is well on the inside, as the place has been burned and looted. There is stolen loot and rumors go that it\u2019s also haunted. In the second part of the attraction you get to enter a small boat, which is the water coaster. As you leave the harbor expect to be in for quite a ride ending in a splash.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>Symbolics: Palace of Fantasy (Symbolica: Paleis der Fantasie)<\/h2>\n\n<div class=\"embed-content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dpKmXYRVH4Q\" allowfullscreen=\"\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n\n<p>The Symbolica is a the most expensive attraction in the Benelux. It\u2019s a ride that goes through an old castle. The scenes you come across tell the story of the mascot of the Efteling, the wizard and jester Pardoes. At the start of the ride you can choose between three tours, which are mostly the same and mostly change from which angle you get to see the scenes and which interactive element you will get to experience. The tour takes you through the medieval palace and shows you the magic that\u2019s going on inside.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Dreamflight (Droomvlucht)<\/h2>\n\n<div class=\"embed-content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qpJQ5HgFjHY\" allowfullscreen=\"\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n\n<p>If you want to meet elves and trolls then the Dreamflight is for you. The Dreamflight is a dark ride, which pulls you into a dream world through elaborate scenes with animatronics. It starts at the castle realm, taking you through the wonder woods, where you will find elves, the elven tunnel, star garden and back to earth where the trolls live. It\u2019s quite an accessible ride for the whole family to enjoy. <br><br>\n\n\n<h2>George and the Dragon (Joris en de Draak)<\/h2>\n\n<div class=\"embed-content\"><iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" \nsrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NVKoVZ6rTuc\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n\n<p>George and the Dragon is a classic wooden roller coaster with two similar yet different tracks right next to each other. The attraction is inspired by the timeless legend of Saint George who defeated a dragon to save a princess, so the story of the ride goes that its open to courageous citizens who are willing to defeat the dragon. How do you defeat the dragon? Well, by having the two cars race against each other of course! And the car who finishes first is said to have defeated the dragon. The rollercoaster has two tracks, called fire and water, who race against each other to the finish, which gives the ride a nice spin. And you never know which one of the two tracks will finish first. At the end of the track you will see a victory flag hanging to the side of the fastest track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2>Fata Morgana<\/h2>\n\n<div class=\"embed-content\"><iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" \nsrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mXdXR82IkvQ\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n\n<p>The Fata Morgana is a boat ride inspired by the Arabian Nights. Here you can take the boat into the forbidden city, where you will find snake charmers, belly dancers, the Sultan with his riches, tigers and if you\u2019re unlucky even street criminals and a giant. As you enter these magical foreign lands you will quickly realize the sultan has surrounded himself with an impressive entourage that you have to see to believe. <br><br>\n\nThe Fata Morgana is one of my personal favorite rides in the park due to the stunning and memorable setting that the Efteling has created. It truly feels like your journey immerses you in an entirely different world, that most of us only know from childhood stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Efteling hotel<\/h2>\n\n<div class=\"embed-content\"><iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" \nsrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/A7GKq13OV70\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n\n<p>If you want to stay for more than one day, then you could consider <a href=\"https:\/\/www.meetthecities.com\/visit\/booking.com\/things-to-do-theme-park-efteling-netherlands\/efteling-hotel\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">staying at the enchanting Efteling hotel<\/a>. The hotel looks like a beautiful and chic set piece of a fairy tale castle, filled with people who are excited to work in a theme park. So you can be guaranteed the service is top notch in this 4 star hotel. There are plenty of services to be enjoyed at the hotel, such as the a play castle for the children, a restaurant, a bar, sunny terraces, a souvenir shop, wifi across the hotel and more.<br><br>\n\nWhen you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.meetthecities.com\/visit\/booking.com\/things-to-do-theme-park-efteling-netherlands\/efteling-hotel\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">stay at the Efteling hotel<\/a> breakfast is included. Entrance to the Efteling theme park is also included, which you are allowed to enter 30 minutes before the park is even open. So the early bird can take the most fun rides without any queues at all.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Python<\/h2> \n\n<div class=\"embed-content\"><iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" \nsrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/j74EvfW2QiU\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The Python is the fastest rollercoaster in the Efteling theme park. This high speed ride will take you to great heights as you get to experience its double loop and two corkscrews. The ride has been renovated in 2018, but the most important elements of the ride have stayed as we know them. Daredevils looking for a thrill owe it to themselves to give this ride a go. The ride is not as well themed as the other rides in the Efteling, but the experience is guaranteed to give you the adrenaline rush you have been longing for.<br><br>\n\n\n\nThis is only a glimpse of the fabled attractions the Efteling has to offer, but hopefully it have given you a nice impression of the Efteling theme park and plenty of reasons to check it out. The Efteling has lots of musical and themed rides which can be enjoyed by the whole family, which take you from the Arabian nights to the rapid rivers of the Americas.
