EFTELING: WORLD OF WONDERS
Efteling is not only the largest theme park in the
Netherlands, but it also happens to be one of the
oldest theme parks in the world having been opened
to the public since 1952. As a fantasy-themed park,
it is heavily based on folklore, fairy tales, fables,
legends and myths. The Fairy Tale Forest has a trail
of classic tales such as Rapunzel, Pinocchio and
Rumpelstiltskin. What's interesting at this park is that you're about to eat your
fries with mayonnaise rather than buy bags of munchies with large cups of soda.
Location: Kaatsheuvel, Netherlands
