For families looking to escape the UK over May half-term, Efteling – the fairytale theme park in the south of Holland – has launched an exclusive early bird offer valid on all bookings made until 17 February 2019.

With its unique storybook atmosphere, natural surroundings and a wide range of enchanting attractions, thrilling rides and captivating shows, Efteling is the complete antidote to traditional theme parks and offers a little something for everyone to enjoy.

Thrill-seekers will love riding Efteling's famous rollercoasters such as the infamous dive coaster Baron 1898 and the double track wooden Joris en de Draak – guaranteed to give visitors an adrenaline rush. For something a little calmer, Efteling offers a number of indoor dark rides including Fata Morgana, a boat journey passing through scenes from the Far East, and Droomvlucht, which tells the story of a dream world where unicorns and forest animals come to life.

Younger visitors will adore taking a stroll through Efteling's famous Fairytale Forest, home to fairytale classics including Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and Pinocchio, as well as taking a ride on the park's monorail that skirts the treetops in Laafland – where Efteling's humorous Laaf people live. Efteling's must-see shows will captivate visitors of all ages, particularly the new international show CARO, featuring stunning visuals, dancers, music, acrobats, and special interactive roles for the younger visitors.

Efteling's accommodation options located within walking distance of the park are perfect for those who want to relax on-site after a long day of fairytale fun. These include: the Efteling Hotel, Holiday Village Efteling Loonsche Land, Holiday Village Efteling Bosrjik and Holiday Village Efteling Loonsche Land Hotel.  

 Sample price:

The Early Bird offer is valid on all bookings made until 17 February 2019, for travel within a minimum of 120 days of the date of the booking.  

The price of a one night stay in the Holiday Village Efteling Loonsche Land Hotel based on two adults and two children sharing a room with the Early Bird offer is priced from €297,50 (from €350) including two day entrance to the park and breakfast, excluding booking costs and tourist tax.
