A Variety of Amusement Parks
A world of wonder awaits in Amsterdam’s magical theme parks. Whether you’re traveling with your family or are a child at heart, a theme park tour is a great way to experience a thrill that is uniquely Dutch. One of the most famous parks, Efteling, opened in 1952 and remains the Netherland’s biggest amusement park and one of the oldest parks still operating in the world. Its fantasy themes draw from old fairy tales, such as the Brothers Grimm, and its quirky aesthetic was developed by Dutch illustrator Anton Pieck. Located about an hour’s drive outside of Amsterdam, the park has drawn crowds from around the world and even hosted a performance by the iconic Kate Bush in the ‘70s. Rumor has it Walt Disney himself visited the park for inspiration before opening his California theme park. Aside from Efteling, there are a variety of amusement parks suitable for different ages.
Amsterdam Amusement Parks for All Ages
“Amusement park” may not be the first thing you think of when planning your trip to Amsterdam. But whether you have young kids on your trip or are traveling solo, the Netherlands has many theme parks to offer that are one-of-a-kind experiences with a bit of Dutch flair. While Efteling is by far the most popular, there are also several other fantasy-themed parks hours from the city that specialize in thrills more suited for younger children. Sprookjeswonderland, Adventure park Hellendoorn theme park, and Resort Slagharen are just a few destinations recommended for families. Walibi Holland also offers an experience for adrenaline junkies with its high-speed coasters.
