Efteling Map and Brochure (1986 – 2025)
Centered on a circular courtyard that draws guests into its gothic concert hall, the Efteling Danse Macabre map guides you through one of the park’s eeriest corners. The new land coils around its show building like a stage set—narrow alleys, candlelit façades, and that chapel-turned-ride at the core.

With this layout in hand, it’s easier to track dining tucked behind the organ loft, find the nearest tram stop back to Symbolica, and dodge the evening crowd that clusters for the overture’s finale. Think of it as Efteling’s waltz with the weird—half fairytale, half fever dream.

FAQ
Is Efteling bigger than Disneyland?
Efteling covers about 180 acres, making it larger than Disneyland Park in California, which covers roughly 100 acres. Efteling features expansive forested areas and attractions, while Disneyland is more compact but densely themed. Both parks are significant in size, but Efteling has the larger total area.
Do you need 2 days at the Efteling?
Most visitors need 2 days at Efteling to experience all major attractions and shows without rushing. One day may be enough for the highlights, but two days allow a more relaxed visit and time to enjoy the park’s unique atmosphere. Families or fans of themed rides often prefer the extra day.
Is Disney based on the Efteling?
Disney is not directly based on Efteling, but Efteling predates Disneyland and shares similar fairytale themes. There is a rumor that Walt Disney visited Efteling before creating Disneyland, but there is no evidence confirming direct inspiration. Disneyland Paris later consulted Efteling for advice on appealing to European audiences.
What age is Efteling best for?
Efteling is best for children aged 4 to 13, offering fairy-tale attractions and gentle rides suited for this age range. Toddlers and preschoolers can enjoy playgrounds and the Fairytale Forest, while thrill-seeking teenagers and adults will find rollercoasters and adventurous rides. The park is designed to be fun for families of all ages, with specific areas and rides for both young children and older visitors.
