It had all of the whimsy I LOVE without feeling like you were being forced to consume merchandise the entire time. I am absolutely going back the next time in the NL. For reference, I am 31 years old, and went with a friend. We had a blast. This is truly fun for all ages!

I was quite surprised by how much I loved Efteling. I grew up with trips to Disneyland and in the…read morepast 20 years I've grown more and more disenchanted with it. Efteling, situated in a forested area, and with a non-commercial essence from old fairy tales, was magical. It brought out my inner child. it was clean, mostly uncrowded, relatively inexpensive and fun. A few rides were totally unexpected and inventive.

On the surface, this park is great. Fun colorful atmosphere. Great rides. Reasonable pricing. Maybe…read moreit was just our experience and yours maybe different. Personally we were a bit disappointed with this park. The biggest problem with this park is the reliability. Half of the rides are always closed. Speed of sound closes five minutes after it opens. Also, the pizza stands are never in stock. We waited 15 minutes for one pizza to be made for one person while we waited in the back of a super long line. And the pizza is awful. The park keeps wanted to expand without using their money is more long- term ways like better staff, and bigger food ovens. It's still a very charming quirky colorful park with a great atmosphere and rides.

Never mind that the original Goliath coaster in the US in Sixflags Magic Mountain is about twice as high as this one here. The other coasters are great as well, but cannot recall the names right now. There are a few other more or less scary rides that are familiar from fun fairs. Apart from that, it is your usual themeparc with crappy expensive food and whiny children ;-)

I recall giving a place a six (except Yelp does not offer a six star rating). This is a six…read more Pictures and videos do not do justice. Imagine you are training for tough mudder, or you just want to relive your childhood, or you are tired of mechanical rides, or you want to get some exercise in, this place has exactly what you are looking for: a wild magical land filled with constructions that require your physical strength and daredevil mentality to get through all the obstacle courses. The reward is great. The thrills are aplenty, and you know what, all those reading about European style playground, especially in Sweden, and Germany, is all true. The structures are one of the kind. Each game area is unseen before in America, and there is no "rides" per se, every single complicated, whimsical structure requires fearless attitude, intense physical strength and all the good things you learned from climbing trees as a kid. It's not just for kids, mind you, it's for aduits too. The entire place is situated in the woods, and no two structures are alike and they are all crazy looking. I climbed a few things, and went down the water slides a few times as well. I was really enjoying the trampoline but that zip line thing was too hard. The entire time I was thinking, why could't America build something like this? It's like from another universe. A world that imagination comes alive and we learn to be a kid who enjoyed physical activities and did things like an little adventurer would. In that regard, it makes the modern amusement park that cost over $100 a day, with a line out of the door, and kids did very little but waiting in line seemed so insufferable. A couple of logistical things to note: bring cash if you are not Germans. They did not even take my French mastercard debit card. You should drive here. It's about 1.5 hours away from Dusseldorf. It has a lot of shades so sunscreen is not absolutely necessary, so don't panic if you forget them. It closes at 6, but you can stay in the park until 7 in the summer. They are Germans so when it's 6:59 you'd better be out of the door. And finally, no fast passes any kind issued. Ketteler Hof is an amusement park of a completely different type of concept: no powerful high-tech attractions, no roller coasters and free fall towers, Ketteler Hof is jungle gym inside of a nature park called Hohe Mark. It is filled with one of kind German structures, it requires us to tap into the inner adventure selves and go forward without hesitation. We were all kids inside and we can be kids again, even kids!

The park is very impressive as it is settled in just a country side landscape. You could not…read moresuppose find such a great place to entertain kids and the whole family in the middle of farms, cornfields, farming lands. The lots of facilities to fancy kids. Tickets are very cheap (5 Euro). You can get for another 3 Euro a fancy country style trolley to carry a stuff and kids together. My daughter asked me why they don't invent it in UK theme parks? A lots of room for barbeque and family party. Don't forget to take own drinks and food. We had an amazing afternoon here just shortened by the summer storm and rain. I definitely will come back here with family. I recommend it to everyone.

I have given this 5 stars because we went on a hot summer day and we all loved it! The entry fee is…read moreonly 3.99 each and you can spend all day doing different outdoor activities. There are no electronic rides, it's all about old fashioned water fun or pedal objects & slides. The highest slide is a real thrill even for adults!!! The area is huge and queues were small, so we spent all day and didn't manage to do everything. Kids just ran wild and had heaps of fun. We ate food there which was extremely cheap, Frankfurter & Chips for 1.50 Euro, Coke/Fanta all 1.00 Euro etc. I think for the price, you'll be hard pushed to get any better value! Best ages for kids would be 5-13 I guess. Try and pick a nice day and bring swimming trunks and towels as you/they will get wet! I was burried by my kids under tons of dry corn, we made our own water feature out of guttering, and patted are a few small animals too. Everything to make it enjoyable for all children. My top tip would be to bring your own food to BBQ as they have BBQs everywhere you can make use of for free. You can rent a little cart for 3 Euro deposit to put everything in and pull it along. We'll be back next summer!

This park is kind of a Universal Studios knock off. At least that what it reminded me of. They are open seasonally and do change some attractions for Halloween and Christmas.

For what you get its quite expensive, 2 adults, 2 children will set you back around € 120-140 depending on how early you book the tickets. Fast pass is € 39 per person which you definitely need if it's packed. Else waiting time for the rides easily gets to 60 minutes. The rides in general are too old. Although they add new ones every now and then, they keep some from 20 years ago. In addition they're not exciting enough anymore for today's standards. The there those antique arcade games in the Wild West and you even have to pay for them, crazy. In general they charge money for many additional games. They have a good action stunt show but it shows only twice a day, ridiculous. The fast food here is bad and expensive, 3 x Pommes and 3 Softdrinks set you back € 20. There are no better choices in this area so a lot of people still come here. The next one would be the Phantasialand near Cologne.
