Efteling Travel Guide - Transportation, Accommodation & Top Tips!

[@Bob-qp2yq]

"The park is quite close to Amsterdam" Here in the Netherlands we refer to that as on the other side of the country.

[@jonathanbowers8964]

To be fair in the Midwestern US, a 3 hour drive for an amusement park is considered "close" and "I could leave early in the morning and drive back at night". 6 hours is "a bit far, but we could make it a 3-day Weekend trip and get two solid days out of it if we leave work early on Friday and drive back on Monday".

[@hethedendaegspolygoon]

That’s a bit extreme, as Dutch people we don’t classify it as close that’s correct but “other side of the country” is like you are in Maastricht and you need to be in Groningen.

[@TheNekonekopan]

It's about 2 hours from Amsterdam, so it's not bad. It's like driving from San Diego to Disneyland

[@robinsommer]

I'm Dutch and live nearby. Don't know why I'm watching this haha, well I do, I love every bit of Efteling I can find.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It’s such a beautiful park. You’re very lucky to live so close!

[@Coaster_Crazy]

I’ve been to Efteling twice and it’s one of the worlds best beautiful theme parks and one of the largest in Europe, it’s that big I’ve still haven’t seen the Fairytale Forrest

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It’s such a beautiful theme park with a wonderful atmosphere. Hopefully you get to explore the Fairytale Forest next time you go!

[@maxjensen5813]

This is the fastest I’ve ever clicked on a video. Within 39 seconds of upload 🤯😂 Edit: Also thank you for this. I’am planning a big European road trip this summer and I was debating with my self if I should spent 1 or 2 days but after this video I’am pretty sure I’m gonna go for 2 days

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Enjoy!

[@chelseaarends4087]

Two days is better, then you don't have to worry about ques and missing out attractions

[@mikekaraoke]

Hey Max, i'm sure you heard/know of it but have you been to: Futuroscope in France?? if not i recommend going there!

[@trevorrandom]

Very useful especially as I'm never going to a UK theme park ever again... Once you're seen how other countries run park's the UK is just so far behind in so many way's customer service, rides, food selections, vaule for money! Thanks for posting 👍

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Hopefully this will help you plan a trip to this wonderful theme park and resort!

[@flaffstar_99]

It's really weird how most uk parks are run down by owners that obviously dont put passion into their projects. The only good parks with well thought out descisions seem to be Paultons Parkan, Blackpool pleasure Beach and a few smaller family owned parks. I have visited a few uk parks back in 2015 and I wasnt a massive Fan back than. However it feels like it has become much worse

[@mikekaraoke]

Not all UK theme parks are, very OTT.

[@missNILA-qr4]

Couldn't agree more, our parks are a pale shadow of those I've visited in Europe

[@bartvangesselen8917]

Happy to see you understand what the magic forrest is. As a Belgian, efteling isn't that far. 90 minutes drive... so i went as a kid once a year. Now i got my kids myself, i stayed several times there. And Bosrijk is absolutely the way to go!!!

[@alfiefuller3627]

Looks like an amazing park I have heard great things about it

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It’s such a magical theme park!

[@ageoflove1980]

It's amazing! Especially for the price! Some attractions are really Disney level of quality and you don't have the feeling you have to break the bank.

[@mischiefmanaged5757]

I am really enjoying these travel planning vlogs Shawn. We were meant to be travelling to the Netherlands in May, but that looks unlikely now. So desperately want to put all your tips into practice. Cannot wait to visit this magical looking park.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you!

[@MasterMister79]

With onsite accommodation you also get free access to the park during the duration of your stay, it's included in the price. With children a day at Efteling won't be enough, if you sleep offsite, you need to purchase an Efteling ticket for every single day you want to go there. For example, you will be staying onsite for one night, you can enter the park for two days. This is something to consider in my opinion.

[@_Claire_Louise_]

Efteling is an absolute bucket list park for me! I love fairytales and everything magical so it really sounds like my perfect park

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It’s such a fantastic park. Hopefully you get to visit at some point!

[@mikekaraoke]

Please tell me you will def be going there at some point this year, Another one of my fav theme parks is Futuroscope in France-sure you know of it!

[@Yochemm]

Don't go to The Efteling for Thrills. The Efteling is a forest with attractions, a park to explore. Set your mind into the relax motion and let the park land into you to keep you eyes open en have a open mind. The rollercoasters don't walk away... :-)

[@gracewarburton3115]

First. Love ur yt channel ♡

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thanks Grace!

[@TravelJack]

This is fantastic! What a great video series with tons of great information. Regarding transportation, one thing I've noticed during my trip planning is that if you're taking the train from Amsterdam, you can also stop at 's-Hertogenbosch (also called "Den Bosch") station and transfer to a bus that goes to Efteling on the way to Tilburg. It might save a little time that way. The hotels seem expensive at first, but when you take into account that it includes breakfast AND theme park admission (including on arrival and departure days), it's actually quite a bargain! So my one night stay will include 2 days of park admission, plus breakfast. For the second night, I'll save a little money by staying at a hotel back near the train station so I can conveniently leave early the next morning.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thanks for sharing!

[@ageoflove1980]

Also good to know for our friends from the UK : Almost everyone speaks English in The Netherlands! Alot of the signs, like the explanations of all the fairytale forest attractions have an English translation. Some of the attractions which feature a narrated element will be in Dutch of course, you can't have it all. Overall it will be an easy and enjoyable experience if you are English so no worries there.

[@Shag471]

Thank you for this! Efteling is probably the #1 park I want to visit outside of the US and this makes it easier to understand planning.

@@ThemeParkWorldwide you’re welcome Shawn anytime my friend 😊

[@matsdekat6630]

It’s such an amazing theme park! I really recommended going there at least once a year if you live in the Netherlands or close enough to reach it easily. Also I recommend going somewhere in spring or fall. Those are the months where it’s not too hot but also not too cold, and in those months it’s never really that busy in the park especially when you don’t go in the weekend. But it’s also fun to go to the winter Efteling of course because then you also have some extra things that you can enjoy in the park. But you can also go in the summer school break, then the park is often open from 10am till 10pm But I still recommend if you go there and it’s your first time, try not to go in the weekends or holidays, and take 2-3 days :)

There is a direct train from Schiphol Airport to Breda (less than an hour journey, via Rotterdam) and at Breda you can take the Efteling Express bus to the Efteling as well. You can buy combi-tickets for transportation+Efteling online.

[@arturobianco848]

Hi Shawn, Great vlog as always, just a little tweak if you're flying at schiphol. If you take the train you have to take a transfer train at station 's-Hertogenbosch to tilburg or take the bus from 's-hertogenbosch. From schiphol there are 2 trains per hour that go directly to 's-hertogenbosch station. But you can take any intercity train from Schiphol to Utrecht and transfer there to 's-hertogenbosch if you wanna shave another 15 minutes from your journey if you missed your direct connection. In 's-Hertogenbosch you can also take a bus that takes you to the efteling. It's normally about 15 minutes faster, then going to tilburg (and it's a little bit cheaper prisewise). Just ask for the efteling bus at the station and you get the line number for the bus. The bus station is directly to the right when you exit the trainstation. So my advice is check youre public transport app wich one is faster before leaving schiphol or in the train to Utrecht. And now a warning there are a lot of "stoptrains" travelling on the route and they stop at every litlle station along the way don't get in one of those or it wil take a LOOOOONG time. (well not that much longer about an hour if you make the mistake twice 😁)

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you for sharing. Like I say I’ve not done that route, however possibly will do on a future trip!

[@arturobianco848]

@@ThemeParkWorldwide No worries if you can fly on Eindhoven way better. And you are spot on from that discription 👍

[@Paul_C]

@@ThemeParkWorldwide Shawn, at present trains departing from Eindhoven run at 6 minutes intervals, 6 are intercity, therefore Den Bosch is hop on, and hop off without any stops. The other 4 are regional lines and stop at 2-4 times before reaching Den Bosch.

The reason for Flixbus is the ferry crossing from Hull, to Hook of Holland. Take the tram after disembarking directly to Rotterdam Central, then hop on the Flixbus.

[@crittah74]

[@clarechamberlain5293]

There's also the 'caro' show which we saw in 2019. If it's on again, go and see. There is a charge for a ticket but if you're staying online, it was a small extra.

I love the fact that I live quite close to this park :)

[@SNORKYMEDIA]

We went from Hull to Rotterdam using the ferry which is overnight. It's about 1 hour from the port to the park. Going back allow twice as much time as it seemed much busier going the return route. We stayed on site in the Loonsha Land??? hotel which was VERY nice and quite cheap for what you got..... cant wait to go again...

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you very much!

[@ageoflove1980]

For train travel within The Netherlands you don't need, or even can I suppose, book train tickets in advance. There is just no need. Train service is extremely reliable and frequent. Just show up, buy your ticket at the machine, check which platform you need to go and that's it. Wait time is rarely more than 15-30 minutes. Some exeptions :Trains usually don't run at night so check if you have awkward flight times. International services like Thalys or Eurostar obviously do require reservations.

[@Buckduck_cosplay]

When staying in the Efteling Hotel, you don't hear the roads outside. It is really quiet and the theming is on point! The food there is delicious as well and the service is perfect. You can reach the Efteling easier this route if you decide to go to Rotterdam. Instead of taking that bus (which takes a long time) there is a direct train to Tilburg as well. Way easier and faster as well. I have to mention that paying in the busses is only by card or Public Transportation Card. Cash we don't accept anymore in busses due the risk of theft.

I was quite surprised when I looked online at the prices for the hotels and cabins, considering a 2 night stay includes 3 days worth of park tickets, and breakfast in the hotel! Definitely something I'd consider after covid. I'd love to do Efteling, Phantasialand and Europapark in one trip. I've got friends at Phantasialand and Europapark, so I'd spend more time there probably, particularly Europapark. 😁

Great travel tips Shawn! 👍 it's really insane for me to hear that people did not visit the fairytale forest while they were there... but I do understand the focus of getting all the rides in first...

[@Gisela_aka_gies]

I think you forgot to mention that you can enter the park earlier when you are staying at the hotel and Bosrijk etc...Early entrance. Also i would not go from Schiphol (Amsterdam) to Tilburg with the train but go to 's-Hertogenbosch and take the bus from there to the Efteling. The problem is, the bustrip is longer. So it is all a matter of what you like..Either be longer in the train to Tilburg and a short bustrip to the Efteling or a shorter train trip and a longer bustrip to the Efteling. Also when you come in the weekends there are direct bus lines from Tilburg, Breda and 's-Hertogenbosch that will not stop anywhere else like Shawn mentioned..However when you are coming during the week when it is not summer or school (holiday) vacation going on in the Netherlands it will take you longer because then there are no direct busses but busses that will go through some villages before arriving at the Efteling..Then the bus from 's-Hertogenbosch is very long imo. Also when there is no summer or vacation time going on the best days to visit when it is least busy are the Tuesdays and Wednesdays. However you can be out of luck when there are many class trips with busses full of school trips youth that usually go on Wednesdays. So it depends. The park is huge so it can be alright. When you are enjoying this park a lot and be thinking i want to come back more in one year (i can imagine) then it is probably a good thing to buy a annual pass..The great thing about that is you can get free tickets or discounts to other parks in Europe (check the Efteling website for which parks) so it is a win win situation..Now all parks are closed due to Covid-19 so now you can't really do anything but i will leave the dutch link from the official Efteling site so you can see which parks are available once everything returns to normal. www.efteling.com/nl/park/abonnement/voordelen-abonnement/toegang-attractieparken But the most important thing is enjoy yourself and let your imagination run free and become a child again when you are there..The dutch are very very proud of this park and we (talking about myself) feel like this is the best park in the Benelux (be-Belgium ne- Netherlands- lux-Luxembourg). Have fun all!! 😘

[@RikFTK]

For tickets, if you're planning you're trip a bit further ahead, keep your eyes on sites like Groupon and Social Deal and other deal sites. Efteling is really pushing for international visitors and there are often great deals to be found. Also funny you think staying on site at Efteling is cheap, since here in the Netherlands, it's considered to be CRAZY expensive by many.

Loving the travel guides, lots of great information however you should include a little about language barriers. Travelling from Australia we would love to know whether English is spoken at all the contact areas (transport links) and whether as English speakers we would struggle with language barriers within the parks and attractions.Also would be great to know the prices of accommodation offerings, ie how they relate to Disney style resorts (value, moderate or deluxe) and show them on a map and the proximity to the park.

That sounds like a great trip. I’ve only drove between the two and not used public transport however I imagine it’s certainly possible!

[@elinevandam4332]

When you drive yourself it will take you around one and a half hours, when you take public transit it will be a lot longer, since Walibi is not in close proximity to cities. You need to travel to Harderwijk at first and take the Walibi Express bus there. That would be around two and a half hours from the Efteling, walibi Express not included. I would recommend you to check 9292.nl. On this website you can check the public transit in the Netherlands.

They’ll be more on the way!

[@ageoflove1980]

Another tip that potentially can save you money. Unlike Disneyland where they do security checks, you are totally allowed at Efteling to bring your own food and drinks into the park! So just stop at a supermarket along the way and get your sandwiches cheap, or even a couple of beers! ;-) There are picnick areas specifically intended for this in the park. Obviously eating your own food at a sitting area of a park restaurant is not appreciated.

Hi, my wife and I are thinking about going to a themepark next year for my birthday. We are looking at either Disneyland Paris or Efteling. Which would you recommend for us. Neither of us go on the big thrill rides like the smiler. I enjoy rides like the grand national or thirteen. Love Valhala at Blackpool. My wife enjoys dark rides, ghost trains and small rollercoasters. You provide really good in depth content and would like to hear your opinion. Thanks

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Both parks are great however I’d say Efteling just takes the edge because of the amount of rides!

[@scottmackintosh5934]

@@ThemeParkWorldwide Cool, thank you. Yeah it does look good. Can't wait till it all opens back up again

[@charlienewbold9809]

I've flown to Eindhoven, then gone to Den Bosch, before taking the bus to Efteling. Thoroughly recommend Den Bosch if you've got a day to kill.

[@DangerHuub]

If you fly to Amsterdam Schiphol it's also more convenient to take a train to Den Bosch, and take a bus to Tilburg via Efteling (which is the same bus you would take from Tilburg trainstation but the other way obviously) from there. Otherwise you'd have to change trains in Den Bosch to Tilburg, and take the bus from Tilburg to Efteling which would take way more time :)

[@charlienewbold9809]

@@DangerHuub Can’t quite remember the minutiae of my journey but certainly remembered it being straight forward. We were originally going to get the bus from Tilburg but chose to stop in Den Bosch instead as it seemed a nicer place to visit (and it was lovely). I was going to write S’ Hertogenbosch but didn’t fancy my changes of spelling it correctly :)

[@DangerHuub]

As someone from Den Bosch, I can assure you almost nobody says or writes 's-Hertogenbosch :P And you're quite right, it is way nicer than Tilburg (I'm sorry for any Kruikenzeikers reading this)

[@charlienewbold9809]

@@DangerHuub Certainly is. I have fond memories of sitting in the square with a coffee watching the town come to life - and later enjoying a boat tour on the canals. As a Brit I am rather jealous of your wonderful Country and City.

Hi i had a few questions about Disneyland Paris Will there be fireworks during castle refurbishment What rides are closed in winter And will the castle be ready by December also what rides are being refurbished

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Unfortunately we’re unsure when fireworks will return to Disneyland Paris. Refurbishments vary and are usually posted a few months in advance of them happening. The castle refurbishment is expected to be complete in Spring 2022

have you seen the new version of aquanura (online) aquanura met een zachte g i would like to know your opinion :) in my opinion it is even better then the regular one hahaha.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

I have indeed, need to see it in person to fully appreciate it I think!

[@twistedcoasters1533]

please do one for cedar point

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It’ll be on the way

[@andrevanschaijk885]

If you fly to Amsterdam it would be better to take the train to 's-Hertogenbosch en from there the bus to Efteling, the park is halfway between Tilburg and 's-Hertogenbosch.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thanks for your suggestion. I may have to try that route at some point!

[@kkrispy2009P]

Wish list to visit 2021 hopefully if we can travel. I Hope vaccine comes soon cheers 4 travel tips

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Fingers crossed we’ll be back in the parks again soon. Hopefully these videos will help people plan trips!

[@coastercrazy37]

Please do Port Aventura next I’m trying to convince my family that it’s easy to get to and that the park is perfect so if you do a video on the park it would do me a world of favours. Thanks

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It’ll be coming soon!

[@NS_Miata]

Book a stay in Tarragona and fly to El Prat or Reus. There is a train from Tarragona to PortAventura witch will take you 10minutes. From PortAventura station it is a 10minute walk.
