Sun, 12th October 2008 - Sun, 26th October 2008

Efteling theme park has been in existence since 1952. New rides have been added during the years to keep it contemporary. It has won several awards for its overall appeal to a wide age group. The Park covers 72 hectares and is situated between Tilburg and Waalwijk, near Breda, close to the Belgian border. It is well signposted from Tilburg.

There are four main zones or lands in the Park:

Marerijk (Fairy Realm), where the attractions are based on story book characters

Anderrijk (Alternative Realm), where visitors will find things a bit out of the ordinary

Ruigrjik (Adventure Realm), where you'll find most of the coasters and white knuckle rides

Reizenrijk (Travel Realm), attractions based on journeys and travels around the world.
