Efteling

[borderman]

As I am nog the best writer in english I wanted to show you people a little fototour about the Efteling which is one of my favourite themeparks.
What I like the most about the park? Even though the park has some very good rides (fata morgana is a top of the top darkride) I can spend hours in the park without even thinking about going on a ride. The park has so much natural beaty and so much ambiance that you can keep walking around!

I hope you'll enjoy the pictures, and when you visit the netherlands don't forget to scedule an Efteling visit!

Beautiful park. I want to ride the Pagoda and Monsieur Cannibale! Wow, I would rather visit the Netherlands over Walt Disney World right now. I wanted to go anyway, this just seals the deal.

Re: Efteling

It is so pretty there. I live in Oregon, and I can tell the climate is similar by the plants and trees.

I want to go!

Re: Efteling

Awesome pictures! Do you, by any chance, have the first 3 (nighttime ones) in wallpaper format? You're clearly a better photographer than I am

Ah, this weekend no Efteling for me. Next weekend and the one afterwards are the final weekends of the season - I'll be sure to visit then of course.

As for the best time of the year to visit De Efteling - spring is the quietest time. Summertime means longer operating hours. Winter means some closed rides (the coasters, mostly) but a very nice atmosphere. In general, I don't think it matters too much when you visit.

If any of you MiceChatters are ever visiting the Netherlands (or Disneyland Paris of course ), and want to visit De Efteling, let me know. I'll be glad to help where I can

The best time to visit De Efteling (but you must be lucky with the weather) by far is fall! There will be lots of people but the nature is at its best in the fairy tale forest!

Re: Efteling

What a beautiful park!
I've been to Holland before, only for a few days on a more extensive European trip, and it's so beautiful there. I'm planning on going back in the next couple of years and this park will have to be on my schedule
