[Video] The History of Efteling

Sep 30, 2018

Efteling is an enchanting place that holds happy memories for generations of Dutch people, tourists and expats living in the Netherlands! The intriguing amusement park welcomed its first visitors in 1952 and those children who must have been in awe of the novelty of such a place are now likely to be taking their grandchildren there.

It's one of the most visited attractions nowadays and one of the most popular amusement parks in the Netherlands. Children and their parents and grandparents all have their own unique stories to tell about their exciting times at Efteling.

 Efteling is bursting with fun, intriguing rides, fairy tales and a fascinating back-story! Take a look at this vintage video from YouTube channel Expedition Theme Park.
