RE: I’ll See Your Magic Missile and Raise You a Fireball: The Netherland’s “Kerfelteling” Theme Park. An Upcoming European Adventure into Fairyland!

in #travel • 7 years ago

The Efteling is a lovely place. With as many lovely fairy tales as scary ones. I live about an hour from there and I love it. You will too, I'm sure. Enjoy!

    Wow!

    Really? Give me the insider's knowledge!!! Should we stay within the park, other local accommodation or travel there from elsewhere (we will be spending most of our time staying in Amsterdam). Should we dedicate an entire day for Efteling?

    Is there anything else we should be doing while we're in Amsterdam/surrounds?

    Great to hear from a local-- and thanks so much for reading the article. It means a great deal to me.

    --what does 'Efteling' translate to in English? (if anything?)

    All the best,
    Nick

      Oh my, so, so many questions.

      1. A day is hardly enough for the park. They have their own hotel for a reason. 2. I'm not that local. I have to drive an hour and a half to get there, and we Belgians (and the Dutch are often the same) think that two hours of driving will bring us to the other side of the world. Comes with the territory of living in a country you can completely traverse in, say, three hours or so.
      2. Must see rides: I love the bobsled rollercoaster thing, and all the water rides. There's also a rather watery rollercoaster that I forget the name of. Cute stuff: the dreamflight, the fairytale forest where you'll see scenes out of all sorts of fairytales, and the Laaf village (cute type of leprechauny people) are adorable. And the puppetshow of the Lily fairies is cute too.
      3. Efteling is untranslatable, I'm afraid.
      4. I've actually never been to Amsterdam, sorry, can't help you there.

      Did I forget any questions? ;-)
      Have fun!!!

      Thanks for the detailed answer!

      For what it's worth, I gave you a 2c upvote! GREAT answers to my questions. I think I'll be printing that off and taking with me when we go. Oh..I thought Efteling must mean something in Dutch :/ Maybe just a weird word.

      Looks like I'll have to give you a review of Amsterdam when we have a chance to check it out!

      Thanks again,
      Nick
