Children's Railway, Train ride attraction at Efteling, Netherlands
The Children's Railway features pedal-powered trains operating on a dedicated track through landscaped areas, allowing young visitors to control their journey independently.
Peter Reijnders established the Children's Railway in 1954 as Pedal Trains, incorporating a farm setting, corn fields, and a station named Blue Heron.
The railway trains carry names of different bird species, connecting children with nature while providing an educational component to their entertainment experience.
The ride accommodates 750 passengers per hour with a duration of two minutes, making it accessible for numerous families throughout their visit to Efteling.
During winter seasons, the Children's Railway transforms into a langlauf track called the Panting Deer, offering visitors an alternative seasonal experience.
