Efteling ticket prices in 2026
Efteling sets a price for each day. In 2026 a 1-day ticket ranges from €40 to €56, in five steps: €40, €47, €51, €54 and €56. The price for each date only appears when you select it in the official shop's calendar, and the ticket is valid for that day only. Prices for 2027 have not been published yet.
| Ticket | Adult | Child | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dated 1-day ticket | €40–€56 | €40–€56 (from age 4) | If you have already chosen your day |
| Flexible, undated | €56 | €56 | If you do not know which day you will go yet; valid for one year from purchase |
| Group of 20 or more | From €33 per person | From €33 per person | Schools, companies and large groups |
| Children under 4 | — | Free with ID | Babies and toddlers |
Efteling has no child price: from age 4 everyone pays the same, and up to age 3 entry is free with valid ID. The flexible ticket costs the same as the most expensive day in the calendar, so you only overpay for it if you end up going on a €40, €47, €51 or €54 day. If you have the disability access card, you get €2 off for yourself and up to three companions.
Calendar and when it is cheapest
Efteling is open all year. Winter Efteling runs from 16 November 2026 to 31 January 2027. During those weeks the park opens daily from at least 11:00 to 18:00, and until 20:00 in the Christmas holidays, except on 31 December. From 21 December to 3 January there is an evening ticket for €33, valid from 16:00 until closing (not on 31 December). The New Year's Eve party on 31 December, until 01:00, is separate and already sold out.
Since the calendar only shows the price once you choose a date, check several dates before paying: each person can pay €40 or €56 depending on the day you pick. If your date comes out at €56, the flexible ticket costs the same and gives you a year to use it.
Extras and annual pass
- Parking: €15 per car. The parking ticket is valid for one year from purchase.
- Luggage storage: €1.50 per item, next to the car park.
- Wooden cart: €5 to rent.
- Classic annual pass: €240 a year (or €21 a month), with 290 days of access. Plus: €310 a year (or €28.50 a month), 340 days. Premium: €400 a year (or €36 a month), every day.
- The annual pass does not include parking: you get 40% off with Classic, 50% with Plus and 60% with Premium.
- Birthdays: the park newsletter offers a promotion for your birthday month (2 to 6 tickets, online only and in advance), with no published discount.
Our pick: the Classic pass only pays off if you go at least five times on €56 days; on €40 days you need six visits just to break even.
Official website or GetYourGuide?
The official Efteling website is the price benchmark. If you buy there, you can change the date from your Efteling account and return the ticket online within 14 days of purchase. On GetYourGuide you pay in your own language and currency, see the cancellation terms for each listing before paying and can bundle the ticket with other activities on your trip.
Before you buy
- A dated ticket is only valid on the day you chose. You can change the date in your account during the year after purchase; if the new day costs more, you pay the difference.
- Tickets and parking tickets bought online can be returned within 14 days of purchase. Those bought at the box office are non-refundable.
- Bring ID for children under 4: without it, they do not get in free.
- The flexible ticket expires one year after purchase, not after your first visit.
