The Efteling Park in Netherlands is a unique fantasy world. Its exotic Oriental City is a dream for fairytale lovers. Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Hansel and Gretel inhabit the park's forest. Realistic marketplace beggars make their residence in the Arabian Knights area. The Laaf Land is home to Laafs, and the Python is a great roller coaster, stretching over seven hundred and fifty meters.

Officially opened in 1952, when the Fairy Tale Forest was declared open, the Efteling Theme Park welcomed two hundred and forty thousand visitors during the first year of its operation and gradually turned into the most famous park in Netherlands. The Fairy Tale Forest is a skillful revival of original illustrations by a famous Dutch Illustrator Anton Pieck and ingenious special effects by a Dutch filmmaker Peter Reijnders. Today, the Efteling Theme Park appeals to people of all ages with its fairytale theme and historic amusement attractions and rides.
