The opening is 365 days a year. The park opens at 10 am march-november or 11 am november-march. Closing time was 21:00 in July and August, but has been 20:00 since 2011 for unclear reasons. Closing time in July/August is 24:00 on Saturdays. 18:00 is the closing time in the rest of the year, with exceptions in some winter weekends and Christmas Holiday: 20:00. There's also a Winter Efteling that opens between november and march, see the web site for exact details.
Efteling is reachable in the following ways:
By car: the park has good parking space for around â¬10 per day. The park is signposted from the nearby highways.
By train: special buses depart from 's Hertogenbosch and Tilburg railway stations at least hourly in the mornings. There's special tickets for up to three people traveling together.
By bike: Efteling provides a guarded bicycle parking for â¬1 per day. The surroundings are nice green routes, a bike ride to Efteling is recommended if you're staying in the neighbourhood!
The entrance fee is â¬32 off-season and â¬34 in the summer 2011. Discounts are available for tickets bought through their website or at resellers like all Albert Heijn supermarkets. Such prepaid tickets can save you a queue at the entrance on busy days. There's also a combination train+bus+entrance ticket, which is a good deal, but this can only be ordered from the NS website in advance. Children 0-2 are free of charge.
Once inside, all attractions and shows are free except for the Game Gallery.
Dogs are not allowed in but there's a kennel at the entrance building.
