Tickets and reservations
To visit Efteling, you need both a valid admission ticket and a reservation. If you buy tickets online by date via our ticket calendar, this is also your reservation.
If you buy a ticket at the Visitors' Service Centre, you will receive a € 2.00 discount for yourself and a maximum of three companions on presentation of your facility card. You will still need to make a separate reservation for your visit.
Facility card
Are you unable to join the regular queues due to a disability? Then you can apply for a facility card.
This is linked to your account and can be found in the free Efteling app. To apply for the facility card, you first need to log in or create an Efteling account. After that, Pennenveer will ask you a few questions to see which attractions you can safely visit.
Don't want to use the Efteling app? Then you can request a facility card at the Visitor's Service Centre on the day of your visit.
Accessibility Efteling
Parking
Paid parking spaces have been reserved for disabled visitors in the front rows of the car park. Do you have a European disabled parking permit? You may use this. Please inform one of the car park attendants who will indicate where best to park. You still need a car park ticket.
Taxi
If you are coming by taxi, navigate to the special pick and drop-off area for disabled visitors at the intersection of Kinkenpolder and Eftelingsepad (Efteling Path).
Public transport
Efteling can easily be reached by public transport from the railway stations in Tilburg and 's Hertogenbosch. The ‘Efteling’ bus stop is easily accessible. The main entrance can be reached from the bus stop through the pedestrian tunnel. Please keep in mind that there is a slope here.
Borrowing a wheelchair
Efteling has a limited number of wheelchairs that can be rented free of charge on the basis of availability. We recommend booking a wheelchair, which can be done up to 1 day before the visit. You can find the wheelchair service at the Cloakroom & Rental by the car park.
Please ask whether a wheelchair has been made available at the wheelchair desk on the day of your visit if there are no wheelchairs available. You can also rent a wheelchair outside Efteling. Ask about this at a homecare shop or your health insurer.
Note: the footrests on our wheelchairs cannot be folded horizontally and are therefore not suitable for keeping your leg up.
Renting a mobility scooter
Efteling has a limited number of mobility scooters that can be rented for a fee, depending on availability. A minimum age of 16 years applies to renting a mobility scooter. Reservation is necessary and possible at least 1 day in advance. The rental fee is €20.
On the day of your visit, you can pick up the scooter at the drop-off point, which is located at the Cloakroom & Rental near the car park. The rental fee must be paid there. As an overnight guest of Efteling, it is possible to rent a mobility scooter for several days.
Register Medical Device
Are you bringing a medical device with you during your visit, other than an (electric) wheelchair, standard mobility scooter, walker, and walking stick? Then we ask you to register it at least 48 hours before your date of visit via our digital colleague Pennenveer. You will receive a confirmation of your registration by email. You can show this at the Guest Service when you arrive.
Employees who know sign language
Visitors who are either deaf or hard of hearing can recognise employees who know sign language by the orange badge. This badge indicates that these employees are able to communicate in sign language.
