Busiest days
What are the busiest and quietest days at Efteling? The weekend is usually the busiest time of the week. Saturday is the busiest, because that's when most people are off.
If you'd rather visit the park at a quieter time, choose a weekday. On weekdays, after all, most people are at work. Thursday is generally considered the quietest day of the week.
Busiest ride
If we look at last year's waiting times, it turns out that Symbolica is the ride where you queue the longest on average. De Vliegende Hollander also usually has a fairly long queue. You'll generally find the shortest queues at the Pagode and Villa Volta.
Can you see Efteling in one day?
Most people who visit Efteling go for a day. You can experience a lot in one day! Do bear in mind, though, that you probably won't be able to see everything.
If you want to take the time to see everything properly, we recommend going for several days. And if you're visiting the park during a busy period, it's also a good idea to plan several days because of the longer waiting times.
Millions of visitors
Efteling welcomes more visitors every year. In 2017, for example, it reached a visitor record of 5 million! Curious about the number of visitors in 2023? Read the article on Parkplanet here.
