Trots att jag inte är någon tulpan- eller blomfantast måste jag erkänna att besöker här var fantastiskt, vilka färgexplosioner och vilken enastående blomsterprakt en sådan här tidig småkall vårdag! Otroligt välskött anläggning, mycket folk men allt fungerade ändå mycket bra! Kom gärna så tidigt som möjligt!

Trevligt plats för avkoppling och promenad. Många trevliga ställe för att pausa och avnjuta kaffe eller te. Trädgården är full av fina och ovanligt blommor framförallt tulpaner.
crameback
En mycket fin upplevelse att gå bland dessa enorma tulpankreationer. Att det fanns så många tulpansorter hade jag inte en aning om. Väl värt ett besök.
annelorew2016
En helt underbar park med massor av blommor överallt. Måste ses. Det fanns små butiker och matställen lite varstans och mysiga små vägar bland lummiga träd och doftande blommor.
galanten59
En fantastisk park med underbara blomster arrangemang. En park som skapar mycket idéer och som ger mycket inspiration. Otroligt att man kan skapa alla dessa kreationer av blommor.
cnsweden
En oerhört vacker och rogivande plats. Kan inte påstå att tulpaner är på min topp 3 gällande intressen, men rekommenderar att åka hit Vackert, rogivande och unikt!

Although the graden was very crowded, it was really worth the visit. The tulips are indeed very beautiful and the garden is huge.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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)

Le Keukenhof est une parc somptueux mais il est victime de son succès, du moins le week-end, et c'est bien dommage. Parmi les points négatifs, citons la restauration (très quelconque) et la signalisation peu précise à l'intérieur du parc (à quand une application smartphone permettant de s'orienter ?). Mes conseils: venez en semaine et amenez votre pique-nique.
karensR3772XF
Beautiful gardens. Easy to walk around the property. All the flowers were spectacular. Plenty of places to sit and rest. Highly recommend.
Nathalievina
Nous nous y sommes rendus pour la fête des tulipes cette année entre le 9 et 14 avril, et les mots manquent pour qualifier ce parc. Des parterres divers et variés, une grande propreté, des personnels à l’écoute. C’est un incontournable à cette période

Alles stond mooi in bloei, was mooi om te zien, maar veel te druk. Ik vind persoonlijk 25 euro veel geld om in een park te lopen. En 14 euro voor een parkeer ticket, die je niet nodig hebt want je rijd zo de parking af.
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

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.

Om klokslag 8:00 stonden we voor de deur en gingen we naar binnen. Op dat moment was het nog zeer rustig in het park. Keurig onderhouden en zoveel moois: prachtige geuren en kleuren. Indrukwekkend. Ook de "exposities" in de binnenruimten zijn heel erg fraai al blijft het park/de tuinen wel het allermooiste. Vanaf 9:15 werd het drukker en om 11:00 was het zeer druk. Het is dan soms even file lopen. Maar als je om 8:00 start heb je rond 11 echt alles gezien en is het ook een mooie tijd om weer te vertrekken. Tip: zorg dat je er om 8:00 bent! Dan is het rustig en kan je in het eerste uur voldoende foto's maken zonder messenmassa op de achtergrond. Voordeel is dat je dan ook weer kan vertrekken zonder dat je in de file staat. We hebben er van genoten!

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.

Magnifique, je ne savais pas qu'il existait autant de variétés de tulipes!! Nous y sommes allés à 9h et avons bien fait, repartis vers 14h il commencait à y avoir beaucoup de monde
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.
corriet134
Het was geweldig mooi wat een kleuren En de geuren van Hyacinten , zo mooi schoon park ! En het eten lekker en niet duur! Super dag gehad !!
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!

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.

Ich hatte unsere Eintrittskarten, die Karten für die Fahrt mit dem Flüsterboot und die Gebühr fürs parken vorab schon online bestellt und bezahlt. Dies klappte einwandfrei! Wir waren Ende März in den Niederlanden und hatten Glück 🍀, dass tagelang vorher schon überdurchschnittlich gutes Wetter mit milden Temperaturen herrschte. So blühten schon die Krokusse, Narzissen und die kleinen Tulpen. Die Anfahrt zum Park ist gut ausgeschildert und die Parkanweiser sind sehr nett und achten ganz toll darauf, dass "richtig" geparkt wird 👍 Übrigens ist im ganzen Park das Personal äußerst freundlich und hilfsbereit. Der Park selbst ist sehr schön angelegt, obwohl ich sagen muss, dass bei der Kreativität sicherlich noch einiges heraus zu holen ist. Auch die Beschriftung im Park ist gut. Zudem bekommt man am Eingang noch einen kostenlosen Wegeplan mit. Die Ausstellungshallen, nach Themen unterteilt, sind recht ansprechend. Dort blühten bei unserem Besuch auch schon die "großen" Tulpen. Im Großen und Ganzen hat es uns im Keukenhof sehr gut gefallen und wir waren wohl auch überdurchschnittlich lange dort. Man könnte allerdings die Blumen noch etwas besser präsentieren. Die Preise für kleinere Leckereien, wie z.B. Fischbrötchen sind schon reichlich überteuert. Die Flüsterboot ist ganz nett, kann man sich meiner Meinung nach aber sparen

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.

Certes il y a du monde mais on peut quand même bien en profiter et j’ai trouvé ce parc relaxant avec toutes ses fleurs . Certes toutes les tulipes ne sont pas toutes là mais dans l’ensemble c’est très beau . C’est très bien entretenu un grand bravo

Merveilleux , visite le 29 mars , bien sûr toutes les tulipes étaient pas ouvertes mais quelle merveille La serre permet de voir de très nombreuses variétés , les expo dans les autres bâtiments sont à couper le souffle J y reviendrai
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.

Une grande partie du parc pas encore fleuri dommage mais cela reste un très jolie endroit le moulin , et les halls d’exposition par thème magnifique

Wir sind mit dem Auto angereist. Schon bei der Einweisung in den Parkplatz war alles super gut organisiert. Es wurde sogar drauf geachtet, dass wir in Ruhe aussteigen konnten und das nächste Auto wurde so eingewiesen, dass es uns nicht tangierte. Da wir unsere Eintrittskarten online bestellt hatten, gab es auch kein Anstehen. Das ganze Areal ist wunderschön, mit Liebe und Sorgfalt gestaltet und gepflegt. Eine Pracht. Lohnt sich auf alles Fälle. Auch für das leibliche Wohl ist gesorgt. Es gibt einige Kaffes / Restaurants, Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und genug Toiletten. Bei der Abreise wurde vom Verkehrsdienst wiederum sehr gut für dafür gesorgt, dass man sich stressfrei in den Verkehr der Hauptstrasse einordnen konnte. Alles in allem ein herrlicher Tag, dank auch den vielen netten Angestellten, vom Verkehrsdienst bis zum Verkäufer:innen, den Gärtnern und all lieben Menschen in der Restauration, die helfen, wo sie nur können. Ganz herzlichen Dank dafür! Ihr tragt sehr viel zu diesem wunderbaren Erlebnis bei
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.

Der Tulpengarten Keukenhof ist ein wahres Paradies für Blumenliebhaber und ein absolutes Muss für Naturliebhaber. Seit Jahren besuchen wir diesen beeindruckenden Park und sind jedes Mal aufs Neue von der Vielfalt und Pracht der Tulpen und anderen Blumen begeistert. Der Keukenhof bietet eine atemberaubende Kulisse mit Millionen von Tulpen in allen Farben und Formen. Die kunstvoll gestalteten Blumenbeete sind ein Fest für die Sinne und laden dazu ein, die Schönheit der Natur zu genießen. Jedes Jahr überraschen die Gärtner die Besucher mit neuen Themen und Designs, die den Park lebendig und einzigartig machen. Neben den Tulpen gibt es eine Vielzahl anderer Blumenarten, die den Park in ein farbenfrohes Blütenmeer verwandeln. Die liebevoll angelegten Gärten und Pavillons bieten zahlreiche Fotomöglichkeiten und kreative Inspirationen. Die Organisation im Keukenhof ist hervorragend, mit klaren Wegen und vielen Sitzgelegenheiten, um die Aussicht in Ruhe zu genießen. Auch kulinarisch wird man verwöhnt, mit einer Auswahl an Cafés und Restaurants sowie Picknickplätzen für eigene Snacks. Insgesamt ist der Tulpengarten Keukenhof ein Ort voller Freude und Inspiration, den wir jedes Jahr aufs Neue besuchen möchten. Ein Besuch hier ist mehr als nur ein Ausflug – es ist ein unvergessliches Erlebnis!

Keukenhof ist absolut bezaubernd! Wenn du Blumen liebst, ist dieser Ort ein wahr gewordener Traum. Die riesigen, bunten Blumenfelder sind einfach beeindruckend, vor allem im Frühling, wenn alles in voller Blüte steht. Die verschiedenen Blumenarten, von Tulpen über Hyazinthen bis hin zu Narzissen, schmücken das gesamte Gelände und bieten eine unglaubliche Farbenpracht. Der Park ist hervorragend gepflegt, und die Wege führen durch wunderschön angelegte Gärten, die für jeden Naturliebhaber ein Highlight sind. Besonders gut gefallen hat mir die Vielfalt an Blumenarrangements – es fühlt sich an, als ob man durch verschiedene Themenwelten wandert. Es gibt auch viele Fotomöglichkeiten, um die Schönheit der Blumenlandschaft einzufangen. Ein weiteres tolles Plus: Der Keukenhof ist gut organisiert. Die Blumen sind in großen, offenen Flächen und in kleineren, intimeren Bereichen zu finden, sodass es nie zu überfüllt wirkt. Alles ist gut ausgeschildert, und es gibt viele Sitzgelegenheiten, um die Ruhe und das Farbenspiel zu genießen. Ein Muss für alle, die die Natur und die Farbenpracht des Frühlings erleben möchten. Wenn du also in den Niederlanden bist, solltest du dir den Keukenhof auf keinen Fall entgehen lassen!

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.

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.

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.
