1. Choose a quiet day

Because the price varies by day, choosing your visit day gives you the biggest saving. Efteling's ticket calendar shows what a ticket costs on each day. On a cheap day the park is often quieter too, so you'll spend less time queuing. Also read Crowds at Efteling: when should you go?

2. Buy your ticket online for a fixed date

You buy an Efteling ticket online for a fixed visit date. The ticket is valid for one year from the date of purchase. Can't make it on that day after all? Then change the date in your Efteling account. If the new day is more expensive, you only pay the difference.

3. Only choose a flexible ticket if you really have to

With a flexible ticket you don't have to choose a date. That's handy, but this ticket costs € 56: the same as the most expensive day. Do you already roughly know when you're going? Then pick a cheap date and change it later if necessary.

4. Birthday? Look into the birthday discount

If it's your birthday, you can get into Efteling for less. Our article What do you get at Efteling on your birthday explains how it works.

5. Going more often? Work out whether a season pass pays off

If you go several times a year, an Efteling season pass can be better value than individual tickets. With a season pass you can visit the park as often as you like. For children up to and including 3 years, the season pass is free. Compare the price of the season pass with the number of times you expect to go.

6. Other discounts

  • Visitors with a disability: on showing your facilities card you get € 2 off, for yourself and for up to three companions.
  • Groups: if you come with more than 20 people, group prices apply.
  • Parking: a parking ticket costs € 15 and is valid for one year. Buy it together with your tickets and you're all set when you arrive.
