I would go back every year if I could. This place is great and I had a lovely time with my friends just walking around and appreciating the nature.

This was the highlight of my trip to Amsterdam. This is peak season for the tulips and it is worth dealing with crowds to see the spectacular display of colorful flowers at every turn. Beautifully laid out, very walkable, lots of cafes. Simply wonderful.

A beautiful park with amazing variety of flowers of all shapes and colors. We visited on Sunday, April 20, and I knew it would be crowded, but I didn’t realize it would be THAT CROWDED. Still, I’m happy we went, just needed to overcome an initial shock - incredible flower compositions around helped a lot. Getting there and from: we had a combi ticket with a bus departing from the airport at 13:00. We arrived at bus stop about 30 min earlier expecting a line, but there was none. The bus left at about 12:40, it wasn’t packed, some people were standing, and due to traffic it took us 1 hour to get there. We left the park at about 18:30, waited for the bus for about 10 min and it took us 30 min to get to the airport. Tickets: we got the tickets from the keukenhof website 4 days in advance, kind of in the last moment. I thought the Thursday before Easter weekend could be a safe plan b, as it looked like there were plenty of slots available, we were arriving to Amsterdam on that day, so wanted to see how it goes, but two days before the tickets for the Thursday were sold out, so we grabbed what was available ;). So, yeah, getting them in advance is the way to go. The park is well organized even with a crowd- it wasn’t a problem to eat or find a toilet. Coming with own food would be a great idea, so you could find a spot away from crowds. We didn’t bother with boats or the mill-there was a line even in the end if the day. If you come with kids, don’t miss the playground and the maze. In terms of time, we spent more than 4 hours there and it was enough. We had a flight to catch, otherwise we’d consider coming later and staying until the closing - the conditions were nice in the afternoon ( the weather was sunny on the day).

Keukenhof was absolutely breathtaking, a true feast for the eyes! We visited on Easter Friday (a public holiday) and arrived at 9:15 AM. Entry was super easy and the gardens were peaceful and perfect for photos early on. By lunchtime, though, it was packed! So if you want to enjoy the flowers without the crowds, definitely go first thing. The variety of tulips and garden designs were stunning. Definitely a must do in the Netherlands during spring. Just wear comfy shoes and bring your camera because you’ll be snapping non-stop!

Incredible and a must see!! If you visit the Netherlands in the spring, a tulip park is a must! I’ve never seen so many flowers in one park!!
MNRLVEU
This is without a doubt the most beautiful garden for spring flowers you could ever hope to see. We have been fortunate to see this beautiful place several times. We were there on 4/18/25, it had been 10 years since the last visit and things are really different and better for the hordes of people daily. This is a place to see if you can. If you like flowers and especially spring flowers, go don’t wait, you will not be disappointed.
skyandsands
Booked the tickets online which was a very easy process. When you arrive it’s a bit overwhelming with the crowds but it’s very well organised and after the entrance it spreads out quite well. So wonderful to see all the tulips and spring flowers. Most cafés inside only take cards and no cash. It’s the place to go if you love tulips and flowers. Highly recommend
TanielV1918
This is a botanical garden. An astonishing one… The quantity and variety of flowers that I saw here, are more, than the sum of all the flowers, in quantity and variety, in my entire life. Thanks to this place, I suddenly discovered that I love flowers… despite their astronomic quantity and variety in this incredible, and I had to see them all ! from many angles !! This magical place is the result of very, very hard work, by highly qualified and competent people, for sure. Therefore, the entrance fee is fully deserved. Note : do not confuse this with the tulip fields. There are not such huge, large field of flowers, here. HOWEVER, there are some fields, on the last section of the road which will get you to this botanical extravaganza garden. So, this is what I suggest that you do : get there by car (taxi, Uber…), because you can't do this if you are riding a tour-bus. When you get at the last 1 km of the entrance of this Park, ask the driver to leave you there. And walk, the rest of the way… enjoying the breathtaking tulip fields on your right… (while being very careful, so that the numerous people on bicycles do not hit you - it's like that everywhere, in Holland… better get used to it when you are visiting… and always watch your back, literally… and your flanks also… - . In light of the explanation above, in the pictures that I am hereby posting, the flower fields are situated on the side of the last kilometer of road leading to the Entrance of Keukenkof. You cannot see these fields once you have reached the Entrance, because of the vast parking areas for the cars and the buses. The rest is a minimal sampling of the mind-buggling flowers awaiting you inside…

Such an array of tulips. Formal gardens many sections are roped off. The indoor flower houses are very pretty but busy when we went. The whispering boat tour was busy. Not the best to take photos of the tulips in the fields because the boat is lower than the fields. Does come with audio tour if you want to use the headphones. The windmill had a constant large queue so didn’t get chance to go up. Miffy was there and a small shop selling miffy goods. Was very expensive. You could queue up to have photos with miffy. Free toilets. We spent 4 hours there.
alienwang2012
Although the graden was very crowded, it was really worth the visit. The tulips are indeed very beautiful and the garden is huge.
henry16
Rather than go on how beautiful it is some tips: Book entrance and car parking on line You will be there three hours Take a picnic you can find benches away from the crowds Listen to the birds singing in the trees Get away from the main entrances as quick as possible especially the one which has the coaches. Visit Como and co for afternoon coffee or tea and cake or light tea
Tigger103
We were blessed with a sunny day which made our visit here an absolute delight. There are many different independent travel and tour & combo options to get here which are all explained on the tulip festival Amsterdam website. We opted for an afternoon tour departing from ‘this is Holland’ near the Adam lookout which also included the evening illuminated flower parade at Noordwijk. There was so much to see at Kukenhof that we didn’t cover every area of the park in our almost 4 hour visit. We expected it to be busy and it certainly was although it did get quieter as it got closer to closing time. Top tips : If you want to do the whisper boat get a ticket as soon as you arrive. If you see something in one of the shops - buy it ! Don’t assume that everything will be repeated in the shop near the exit.
Kathrine
Stunning! Such beautiful gardens meticulously maintained. We planned our trip for mid-April in the hopes of a near-peak to peak experience. Keukenhof did not disappoint. It was spectacular! So much color and so many varieties. We booked the combo bus/entrance ticket from Haarlem. Bus was very easy to find and we disembarked very close to main entrance. We could leave whenever we wanted and catch the bus back to Haarlem. Recommend arriving as early as you can. It seemed to get more crowded mid-day. Highly recommend.
Holmeboy1974
Well worth the trip and would certainly recommend going. Lovely, although busy. Expect a crowd. Only things we would change from this visit: - never use qbuzz again - think about what going to eat there, as the food is limited, and a bit too jazzy if you want something plain.
sunrise99
Visited the gardens for the first time ever and cannot fault anything there. Every area was great and we saw some beautiful flowers today. I booked the tickets for the garden from the official garden website and it linked me to tickets to book the bus. I booked the tickets several months ago. However the Q- Buzz bus left a lot to be desired. Although allocated a specific time the queues were long and buses infrequent. On the way back we waited with more long queues and a shortage of buses. The bus appeared overcrowded with lots of people having to stand. Once we got on the bus the driver got off. The visitor organiser drove the bus to a parking spot and watched and waited on the bus until another driver got on. The new driver drove off with the windows misted up. Later in the journey he got a passenger to wipe the front window down. He proceeded to text whilst driving. I think passenger safety is paramount and texting whilst driving unacceptable. I recommend when booking the trip to go to the local tourist information centre and book the garden trip with them. It was €20 cheaper pp and hopefully you will get a safe driver.

We took the tram to Central station and there you catch the ferry for free. Once you get across, you’re gonna go over the bridge to the This is Holland building and check-in. There you will catch the shuttle bus it’ll take you to Keukenhof. It takes about an hour ride and you’ll see fields of tulips. I suggest getting there very early as the crowds are very heavy as the day goes on. Nice trip for all ages. Cannot describe the smells, sounds and beauty A must see. April 15, 2025 perfect time and weather
boolz
We loved it but the €10 whisper boat tour was a waste of time and not worth it as it doesn't travel to through the park but on the outside and the views are not that interesting. For food I would highly recommend Jacoba's Kitchen (at Oranje Nassau Pavilion)
karensR3772XF
Beautiful gardens. Easy to walk around the property. All the flowers were spectacular. Plenty of places to sit and rest. Highly recommend.
np871
Beautiful day out at the gardens. Layout and flowers were stunning so you cant fault Keukenhof. Visitors please be mindful that people are there to observe the flowers not just take selfies and take up time so others cant view the flowers. Food and drinks were overpriced. Other than that loved seeing the Tulips in abundance
MattAndLol
Visited for the 1st time on Monday 7th April with my husband while on holiday in Amsterdam. We'd booked a combi-ticket several weeks before from the official website which included a bus to Keukenhof from RAI bus station in Amsterdam, think you can travel from Amsterdam Central station too if that's nearer to your hotel. We took an uber from our hotel to RAI as it's quite far out. It was very well organised, someone checked our tickets then we queued for a few minutes for the next Keukenhof bus, they were very frequent. The journey took about 40 min as traffic was busy. We got straight in the park. Right away we were blown away by the beautiful flowers ! Everywhere you looked there were stunning colours, some more informal " meadow " style mixed planting & others more geometric shapes, thousands of all colours tulips, daffodils, hyacinths & other Spring flowers, together with lakes, trees, stepping stones, a windmill etc. The smell of the hyacinths was heavenly ! It was the size of a small theme park but of flowers ! We only went in 2 of the pavilions as the weather was so lovely & sunny that week, they would give you shelter on a rainy day I suppose. We saw the pretty roses in 1 pavilion & hundreds of beautiful tulips in the 1 with the large cafeteria. We brought our own lunch & drinks with us as we were lucky it was such a sunny day & ate them on a bench in the picnic area, we bought them from a supermarket in Amsterdam in a backpack. We just bought ice-creams on park but you could buy bulbs etc from various places round the park. The park seems very well equipped for people in wheelchairs etc, all flat, plenty of toilets etc & there's a children's playground. We spent around 5 hours at Keukenhof marvelling at the beautiful flowers, yes it was busy & you sometimes had to wait for people to move on to be able to take the photos you wanted but it's only open a few weeks per year & is world famous so for us it was worth it. I would guess about 80% of the flowers were blooming on the 7th April when we visited, we were very happy with this, I would say maybe the middle of April is the peak time for everything to be flowering. We thoroughly enjoyed our day at Keukenhof & the journey back was just as efficient on the bus. It is the most beautiful garden we've ever seen, thank you to the hard working Keukenhof gardeners !

What an amazing array of flowers. Not only the tulips which were of course fabulous, some in full flower, others just starting to open, but there are also huge pavilions with information, and hot houses with orchids, and roses.

We visited these beautiful gardens during the local flower festival. Such lovely displays not only of tulips but of other spring bulbs. Some displays were very orderly and others more naturalised. It was crowded but well organised. A lovely day and easy to get to the gardens on the 180 bus from Haarlem station.
matthewy776
We went in the second week of April, 2025. There were a good number of mid-season and early flowers blooming. Some of the late-season flowers were about to bloom or had not yet come to colour. Some of the early season flowers had died off. Overall, about what we expected. One disappointment with the flowers themselves was that one of the fields on the edge of the venue had been harvested, and was brown. We were hoping to see the endless fields of flowers seen on the web, but I think this is something best viewed elsewhere. We paid for the bus from Schiphol, which, if you also paid for an Amsterdam and Region transit pass, I would advise you not to do, as this is included in the pass at the time of writing. I wish this was indicated on the page where you can purchase the shuttle tickets. The shuttle itself was also late, but not too crowded. The park itself was less crowded than we expected based on what other reviewers have said. We went in the evening mid-week which may have contributed. On the Keukenhof website it indicated that day was "not crowded". Having been to tourist attractions like ZhangJiajie and Shibuya Sky at peak time, I would say the park was more like a mid-day Slojterdijk level of busy. Certainly there were noticeable crowds, but they did not detract from the experience. Overall, if you have never been, I would highly recommend going. However I would not recommend paying for the shuttle if you already have a ticket.
paulj6574
It’s really a must see attraction. Go after April 15th if you can more will be in bloom. It’s almost 7,000,000 flowers and worth your time!

A vibrant and refreshing place to visit. Mother’s nature didn’t disappoint me. Such a beautiful variety of flowers. The entire park and flowers is well organized. Immerse yourself in the beauty of nature and enjoy the scent of the flowers. The place is well arranged, clean and the staff is doing a great job in terms of maintaining the environment. For lunch don’t expect anything special it’s just simple food at the so called restaurant/canteen. You can order bulbs as they are many different shops and it can be sent almost anywhere in the world (October delivery). Don’t forget about souvenirs of course. Going early in the morning (opening time) is less crowded. The reputation does good to the park. Park is open from end march up to end may. The rest of the year is to maintain and rearrange flower beds.
lifeisanadventure123
Lovely day visiting the gardens. Lots of flowers already in bloom to admire. We opted for the whisper boat tour, which involved a 40 min cruise around the fields. This was a nice addition to our visit. Was interesting to learn about how the planting is done to determine when flowers bloom. April is still a good time to visit, even if not all the flowers are out, still plenty to see.
Laurence_DE_2011
The park is great and the gardens are beautiful BUT as hard as the employees may work, they can not influence Mother Nature and blooming time.... It was our second visit : the first time was in May (almost too late in the season I would say) and this one in March (way too early). Third time will be a charm --> it will definitely be in April !
millie_bridger
Keukenhof was absolutely stunning and surprisingly accessible, despite often being described as "inaccessible." I didn’t bring my wheelchair based on that reputation, but I was relieved to see that wheelchair rentals were available right at the entrance for just 5 Euros—definitely worth it! The park was beautifully maintained, filled with vibrant flowers, and had so much to offer—from lovely walking paths to fun activities and even a scenic boat ride through the tulip fields. It was truly the highlight of my trip to Amsterdam!
Peters521
Great day out even at the start of the season. Plenty of flowers blooming though plenty more still to hit their peak in a week or two. The styling of the grounds is superb with fantastic attention to detail. Some of the bulb mixes are mind blowing snd a real feast for the eyes. Parking in P2 was close by and to be recommended. I’d also suggest going later in the day when the crowds disperse snd you get up enjoy the place in greater isolation.
Resort30606703367
When I had visited Keukenhof in Lisse in the The Netherlands to see and visit The Flower Show all of the flowers I saw many years ago in April time were Extremely lovely and Beautiful flowers indeed. Keukenhof in The Netherlands itself is definitely worth visiting and Netherlands itself is an Exceptionally Beautiful country itself.
KothaiGhuri
Truly Special. It was a beautiful place - resplendent in such vibrant colours it left a lasting impression. I have been to many gardens - but this place left a lasting impression. Must visit if you are in Amserdam. In fact since the garden is open for only 2-3 months a year - its worth planning your visit to Amsterdam in that period
Pascalsahli
Not many tulips are blooming. My wife loves it. Not for me though. Was very cold day. Seen it in 30’. We are with a group so we have to kill 2.5 more hours until we can leave. Perhaps taking an Uber to get out of here
pescapes_london
We visited end March and no tulips out - but Daffadils and crocus were flowering. Recommend a quick train ride ride to Haarlem from Centraal and then getting the Keukenhof bus (you have to book this - we did on the train there) as Haarlem is well worth a visit as well. Would recommend waiting until April to visit as it’s the same price and it would look wonderful with all the tulips out.
KimGTravels
Abundant collection of beautifully laid out gardens of tulips & other bulbs. Such a short viewing period, so plan your trip to the Netherlands accordingly. We purchased our tickets online, for the garden entry & a boat tour through the fields, skirting the gardens. We took a train from Amsterdam to catch the bus to Keukenhov, located just outside of the train station. Bring warm clothing & rainwear. The experience will delight the senses!
ellengloucester
The best. We carefully studied the weather, kept reading about timing, and hit it perfectly. Be sure to visit the big fields outside.
Just_Traveler
It's a great place to see all kinds of tulips, just don't expect a field of flowers you can run thru. This is a garden so all flowers are behind rope. There are some fields nearby but by May almost all flowers are gone, so plan accordingly. There are gift shops, a couple of food trucks and an old-style windmill you can go inside.
raffaelebG6587WH
Do your research for when the flowers are in full bloom and plan to go during that time. The garden was wonderful and vibrant. Too crowded for my liking, but that is to be expected for such a great spot.
361elyanak
This is a well-executed concept, although there are additional fees for boat rides and other activities. It's still worth visiting, as the gardens are beautifully maintained. Clearer signage would enhance the experience. The spring blooms are a must-see, but unfortunately, the food quality is disappointing.
MartyB719
It is recommended that you purchase your tickets on-line. You must put the time and date of your planned entrance. What happens if it is raining? On an average, 26,000 people visit Keukenhof daily as it is only opened for eight weeks from March to the beginning of May. The best times to visit changes seasonally. Usually, the last 2 weeks in April and the first week in May are usually good. On the Keukenhof web site states that they have an allotment of tickets. You can take a chance and go early to get a ticket the day of. We had already pre-booked our ticket and going in the gate was fast. Luckily, it was indeed a nice day. We stayed in Haarlem. The city is a superb alternative to crazy and busy Amsterdam. Haarlem is like a mini-Amsterdam with canals, history and good places to eat. There are dedicated buses throughout the region. The one in Haarlem left near the train station. Unfortunately, it was about an hour late on our day. Our ticket also included the use of all transportation in and around Amsterdam. We found this useful in our 15-minute train ride into Amsterdam, and our bus from the airport into Haarlem. The park is large, 79 acres (32 Hectares). There are supposedly over 7 million tulips with 800 varieties of bulbs. There is much more than, Tulips, though. We also saw roses, lilies, hyacinths, carnations and irises to name a few flowers. The gardens and ponds with sprouting water are magical. One can take a boat ride, rent a bike for trails and even take a helicopter tour. We opted to walk through the many gardens, pavilions, sculptures and even to a large windmill. Food prices are not unreasonable either. There are unquestionably many photo opportunities. We liked the rounded pads over the water that made one feel that they were actually walking on water. In another area is a small pond with shops and a wagon that played mechanical music. In another pavilion, there is an actual pink Cadillac to sit in. We actually came across a beautiful parade. One day was not enough, but we did give the park a good view. If you found this review to be helpful in any way, please press the “thumbs-up picture” to let me know.
Linaon21
Stunning displays, well worth a visit! Not only for the tulips but for all the other flowers. Huge gardens and easily at least a few hours to cover the whole place on foot.
M7337DSannab
I visited near the very end of the season, and there was still plenty to see. Used the round trip shuttle bus. Scheduled time to go there. Could get anyone going back. Simple apple pie and hot chocolate for breakfast at one of the cafes. Dutch fries for lunch from one of the trucks. Did the whisper boat even though fields were nearly all harvested. Still enjoyed seeing all the bird life on it.
hdias
We visited on a variable May day, with some rain about. We saw impressive tulips outdoors and fantastic orchids inside. Well worth a visit..!
bethkn0329
This place is beautiful and so big that you can spend a few hours here. We enjoyed all the different tulips but the best part of the garden is the area by the water with lots of trees. They have a few gift shops and a cafe.
D7488IYmigueln
Went here with my mom and both of us loved it. We went with a tour group of 50+ people and most of us enjoyed it. Would come back here again 10/10
HeinBloed
We came a few days before the season was over. I thought it would be sad since it was raining too. But to my surprise, you had enough to see, although they will close soon for this year. Also, some indoor venues allow a pleasurable visit during bad weather. Only the restaurants: overpriced but ok for mass tourist feeding. You cannot expect more when you see places like this.
rachY8311NJ
Visited 8th of May 2024 (a couple of days before closing for the year) Loved every minute of my visit! Beautifully kept gardens with loads to see! Lost of artwork and information around. More than just a garden with aDj, small animal area, maze, windmill to name a few extras. Options for food were limited with different places selling the same things. Highly recommend!
ElmaryB
This was really very lovely and even thought the flowers were not in bloom for their productions this garden was full of all the variety of Tulips they sell 😍. I think we took the most pictures here of all the places we visited on our 3 week vacation to Europe. Absolutely worth the price and time.
Ariyya
I think you are missing out if you don't visit this garden during tulip season; its reputation is well-deserved. The grounds are large and extensive, the sheer variety of tulips on display is dizzying. There are many cafes and restaurants but they don't impact the visitor's experience as they are on the outskirts. The gift shops and boutiques have nicer products than those in Amsterdam. Plan to spend at least half a day here. It's worth the time to visit.

2nd time visiting these amazing gardens, and they didn't disappoint, even if the weather was not the best!!! Lovely walk around, it was busy but there was still plenty of space. Very well organised with car parking and entrance. Well worth a visit as it really is good value for money.
Michelle192321
Absolutely stunning garden, loved all the different colours & the planting- so inspiring! Extremely busy though especially after 12pm & there's not enough seating in the restaurant area (our lunch ended up cold after walking around so long looking for 2 free seats to sit & eat) We booked for the day of the flower parade, it goes right past the garden & it was absolutely amazing- loved every minute even though there were a few rain showers but after buying poncho in the shop, I was kept dry! I had booked tickets direct from the website that included transport to & from RAI Amsterdam & it all ran pretty smoothly- there wasn't really any wait time at our 8:30am slot heading over but there was a very long wait to get back afterwards & it also took a lot longer to get back due to traffic. I think it is definitely not to be missed if you're in the area in springtime!
