Efteling is a large recreational park just outside the town of Kaatsheuvel. The park covers over 700 acres of land, and features amusements, restaurants, rides, and boating facilities. The most interesting feature, however, is the miniature city, complete with a castle, and populated by characters based upon popular children’s fairy tales, along with special characters unique to the Efteling park. There are water rides in the park, and the web site offers a calendar so you can plan your visit during quieter times to avoid queues if you wish.
