Stunning Gardens in April Showers
Beautiful gardens with a huge range of superb displays of tulips in such an array of colours and sizes. It was very busy and at times very wet with torrential showers. It’s didn’t spoil our visit and I was amazed that most of the tulips remained intact. Get there early and bring food and drinks with you to avoid the very busy cafes. Still worth a visit as I have never seen so many stunning tulips

Sunday 5/5 visit was Wonderful!
We visited on Sunday 5/5 and absolutely loved the gardens - even if not all the flowers were still in bloom. We stayed over 4 hours- walking around seeing not only the tulips, but other flowers as well. We also went into the flower shops and went to the 75th anniversary pavilion which had an interesting video about how the bulbs are planted. Note that I understand if you are local, I would pick to go a week or two earlier - but for us - this was the only day available in our trip and I thought well worth it and the highlight of our visit to the Amsterdam area. It is all about managing expectations- we knew many tulips would already be cut but we thought those that were left were spectacular. Since they purposely plant bulbs to bloom at different times, ask at the front when you arrive which section has the most left in bloom.

Great
We went 6th May, still beautiful displays and lots to see although a lot of tulips have now finished. Still worth going but if you want to see fields or tulips (surrounding areas), need to go April as warmer and wetter weather meant they’d taken a bartering. Beautiful hot day and still lots to see. Easy to get to, it book a bus ticket at the same time to save hassle. Buses go from a lots of places.

Tulips, tulips and more tulips.
What a fantastic visit. The weather had been very wet and cold, but the sun shone for our visit. We had worried that the tulips might have been damaged by the rain, but it looked stunning. Lots of places to sit, as it is an enormous site. Also lots of places to get refreshments. This was my second visit and would happily come again. The bus from RAI station was very busy, but it’s the best way to get there, although there was a massive traffic jam to get out. I would recommend visiting early in the day so as not to miss anything. There are so many different tulips, it’s truly stunning.

Stunningly Beautiful!!!!
This is absolutely a must-do if visiting in April or May when the Tulips are blooming. We took the Hello Holland bus from the Amsterdam Train station for about 45$ which included the ticket to the Keukenhof. The three hours we spent there flew by meandering the trails past fields of flowers of seemingly infinite variety. Even in a slight drizzle, the gardens were the highlight of the trip. Several places to eat lunch.

Truly magnificent!
A beautiful day. We spent about 2 hours and I could have stayed twice that. Definitely go up in the windmill- great view of the tulip fields. Go early and avoid crowds. If you can afford it, just take Bolt or Uber. It isn’t cheap but it also is super easy.

Beautiful Place to Visit
This is a beautiful botanical garden that I visited during the tulip festival. It only has tulips there and they were all beautiful. I did not know there were so many colors of tulips or types of tulips, but each one was extravagant. If you are a photographer (or just like taking pictures) you will love this with all of the landscaping and especially all of the colors. Some people say you need to spend many hours there while others say an hour or two is enough. I was there 90 minutes and that was fine. For me (not for everyone) there are only so many flowers I can see before itching to leave.

Great excursion.Must see.
Beautiful place!Tip:we visited it on May,early in the morning(08:00 we were there),so we enjoyed the park alone.After 10:00 it is really really crowded.

Beautiful Keukenhof Gardens
We did our own tour of Keukenhof Gardens during the height of the tulip season. The gardens were spectacular and definitely worth a visit. We purchased tickets to the gardens online several months before our trip in mid April and also purchased the Amsterdam Region Travel Ticket (ARTT) in advance. This enabled us to enter the park at approximately the time we had scheduled, walk around the park at our leisure and depart the park when we wanted to. Using the express bus to the Keukenhof Gardens (Bus 852) from Amsterdam RAI was extremely easy. Because it was "high season" for the gardens, Bus 852 was departing RAI approximately every 7-10 minutes. The buses are large and the ride last approximately 30 minutes. On our way to the gardens we passed a couple of active tulip farms. Needless to say the farms are beautiful. The Keukenhof Gardens was easy to enter and restrooms/restaurants were readily available. At the entrance to the gardens head to the right side away from the tour groups. This will enable you to easily enter and avoid waiting in line with the tour groups. The Keukenhof Gardens are extremely well maintained and the tulip patterns are well thought out/spectacular. After we had our fill of the garden/tulips, we exited the park, found bus 852, with the aid of numerous signs directing us in the right direction and employees at the gardens who also offered help/direction, if needed, and were back on our way to RAI. When we went to RAI from the hotel, we utilized a taxi. Pro tip, especially if you are comfortable using the metro in Amsterdam, use the metro and save a lot of time/money. On our way back from RAI to Amsterdam, we took the metro. The metro is clean, easy to use and one of the most efficient ways to travel while in Amsterdam and the surrounding areas. The Amsterdam Regional Travel Ticket will give you unlimited access to the metro, buses and trolleys operating in the city of Amsterdam. The ARTT are well worth the money. Next time we are in Amsterdam, we will ensure that we purchase and utilize the ARTT to their fullest extent.

Nice gardens, but got crowded quickly, despite the weather!
Not going to go too much into it, plenty of other reviews saying the same thing. Great gardens, clearly a lot of effort goes into maintaining the location. Its not a particularly cost effect trip, nor is it overly expensive, just a bit on the steeper side. We paid for the inclusive bus transfer from Amsterdam Rai. Even though it is timed, they might be visible when they scan you QR code, but it felt a little 1st come 1st served. Bus service was fine. We found that with some visitors, they were definitely on the "entitled" side, stepping over barriers and pushing other people out of the way to take photos. Spoils the experience with this sense of entitlement. We arrived early, arriving at about 8:45, when it was relatively quiet, we would recommend arriving as early as possible, as by about midday, the hoards of people spoiled it a bit. All in all, a decent (half) day out. We left at about 2pm or so.

So amazing. Can not miss this!!
This exceeded my expectation by 10x. The picture don’t do it justice. It was so beautiful all the tulips varieties and other flowers. You can roam for hours. We took a boat ride too. We hit tail end if the flowers and they had some storms so a lot of the fields were already cut BUT it was still worth it! Each bulb is planted by hand each year. So incredible. If you are there for the 6 weeks, you have to go!!

NOT CLOSED UNTIL MAY 12TH...Open until then and then it closes
First...Tripadvisor site shows the Keukenhof is temporarily closed until May 12...NOT TRUE! It is open until that day and then closed! OK....We loved Keukenhof for the third time now over about 5 years. To be honest, you can't take enough pictures and to post them online but...they don't do it justice! You have to be there and experience it. Today, April 30 was FULL of people...thousands of people! It was great! It took awhile to "go with the flow" but, I did and slowed down to a slower pace than I wanted. The gardens are unbelievable and SO beautiful! I'll be back again; I hope. Everyone was smiling and taking pictures and having such a good time.

Tulips and tulips
The flowers were beautiful and plentiful. The crowds were overwelling. There didn't seem to be a limit on how many people could squeeze into a shop or a food line. The boat ride was very nice and relaxing. The weather was perfect on our day so that was a real plus. There were many varieties of flowers that were not actually for sale, just display. That was disappointing. We were able to purchase a nice selection, but would have like several others that were not. Would recommend going earlier than end of April, since alot of the flowers were already cut off by now, but still worth the trip.
Apr 30, 2024Vicky1597
Breathtakingly Beautiful, but busy
The tulip gardens are stunningly beautiful, at every turn there are huge swathes of different colours and varieties and the park itself is vast so there is a lot to see. Would have liked more info on the flowers. By the afternoon it was unbearably busy so would recommend going first thing.
Apr 30, 2024ElizabethW532
A must if you love flowers
We booked a trip that included a bus and entry ticket. Fortunately we chose to arrive what we thought was early at 9.30 am but even then it was extrremely busy. Maps are available at the entrance but it is just as easy to walk around and admire the amazing flowers that are displayed. Obviously some have bloomed and some are still to bloom but the colours and layout are brilliant. Learning about how Kuekenhof works was very interesting. Plenty of places to get refreshments and restrooms. Busy Busy place but would recommend arriving early as the traffic build up around the area when we left about midday ws very bad

This is what heaven must be like. Absolutely Amazing! Must See.
This is what heaven must be like. Absolutely Amazing! My mother and I went to see this in late April and we were both fully blown away. We got there at opening time at 8am and that was really worth it as the first hour for us was really quiet and we got to experience the flowers in silence and listen to the birds. We pre-purchased our tickets online prior but there doesn't seem to be a limit on numbers and we saw people buying tickets at the front gate. Everything was really perfect. The numbers of flowers, the way that they were arranged, and how they were integrated into the landscape with trees, streams, ponds, bridges, and sculptures. Truly amazing! We spent 7.5 hours there and felt that we saw most of the area. We laughed a bit at the petting zoo, which seemed to have one really dirty sheep and two goats but we really came for the flowers. Tickets were about $20 Canadian per person, which was incredibly cheap for what you get--tremendous value for that price. The whisper boat was about 45 minutes and cost something like $25 Canadian per person and it was well worth it. A good chance to sit down after a lot of walking! The electric boat took us away from the treed ground of Keukenhof and out in the tulip fields where there were row upon row of various colored tulips in large fields that went on for hundreds of metres. It was really astonishing and totally worth it. They provide recorded tours in multiple languages on headphones. We stopped several times for tea, snacks and had lunch. There is are about 12 different shops on the grounds that sell souvenirs and provide drinks and food and pretty reasonable prices. Overall for the entire day with entrance, whisperboat, snacks, a few small souvenirs, drinks, and lunch I spent about $155 Canadian (about 100 Euros). 10/10 I would go back again and again and again.

Spectacular Keukenhof
Visiting Keukenhof is one of the best things I've ever done! The gardens were much bigger than I expected and the tulips were truly unbelievable - I had no idea there were so many varieties. It's just spectacular! We went on a cold, wet morning and booked for the 8am bus from Europaplein. I had contemplated changing our booking to the afternoon when the weather was due to improve but I am so glad I didn't! Arriving early in the morning, there weren't many people about and it was easy to get great photos, there were no queues for the coffee shops or for the lovely souvenir shops. The rain was intermittent but there's good cover in the park as well as a couple of large halls where you can duck into so really don't worry too much if the weather forecast is grim. You're allowed to take food and drink in and there are loads of benches all over the park where you can sit and eat. We didn't experience any crazy bus queues as mentioned in previous comments; perhaps because we went early. However there is no bus specifically designated for each time slot ie. there is no 8am bus - you just arrive on time and stand in line until the bus arrives but they are frequent. We spent about 4hrs there and I think the cost of the ticket (€37) which included the return bus trip, was great value. There was nothing I didn't like about Keukenhof.

Simply Stunning
We've visited Keukenhof gardens once before (in late March) and we were a bit too early. While it's clearly weather dependant, mid April seems the perfect time to go. It's hard to get away from the phrase "sunning" - millions of (primarily) tulips beautifully laid out. High quality displays in the greenhouses add to the experience. It was very busy (Tuesday), but that's to be expected I guess. Friendly, helpful staff, nice food on offer.

Tulips
A must see during mid April to early May. Rain or shine. It was a bit chilly and rainy, however plenty of places to get under cover.

Majestic Place to Visit
The wonderful display of flowers , particularly the tulips are what makes this attraction a must see during this particular type of season. Different tulip varieties scattered in a certain radius in this expansive garden. A half day stay would suffice to further appreciate its beauty. Certain restaurants and coffee shops are inside. As well as shops selling souvenirs and seedlings.
Apr 27, 2024BeverlyS105
Perfect day!
Absolutely gorgeous! You must go at least once in your life. This was my fourth time and I’ll go back in another 2 or 3 years!
Apr 27, 2024LondonFet
If you love flowers then this is a must visit
Well what can you say but amazing. The most incredible tulip displays you'll ever see. Easy to get to with the combined bus and entry ticket and takes only 30 minutes from Europaplein on special buses.

Beautiful Tulip Garden
If you're in Amsterdam March-May you have to visit!! We got the public transport bus from Schipol airport, it was a little tricky to find the bus stop, and be mindful there could be a long queue so I would arrive at least 1hr before your park ticket time. The staff at the bus stop and in the park were great and super helpful. The park its self was huge, and beautiful and had plenty of gift shops. There was even a chance to order tulips and have them shipped to pretty much anywhere in the world for a fee. This was a great touch and I really appreciate this as we were unable to bring living plants home! I would recommend packing a packed lunch as the food prices are a little high, and not always somewhere to sit especially if the rain starts! Overall lovely experience and would recommend to anyone.

Beautiful spring garden not to be missed!
Beautiful garden filled with tulips, daffodils, other bulbs, and spring blooms. The park is well laid out and easy to navigate. Complimentary Msp is provided when you enter. Multiple grab and go food options throughout the park. There are also two pavilions that have flower shows that are worth checking out. I booked the bus and park ticket and pickup from the airport was efficient- note that the bus is about a .20 walk from the train/airport station. I would highly recommend if you are in Amsterdam from late March to the first week of May.

Dutch Display Garden
We visited the famous Keukenhof Gardens in the first week of April. It was windy & chilly but we saw thousands of blooming tulips. Our Dutch friends told us this very narrow area is where sandy soil from the North Sea meets clay soil from the Rhein River- that this meeting place is one of the region’s in which to grow tulips. Be sure to buy your tickets on line before visiting, the lines can be very long. We did rent bicycles & rode around the growing fields. We highly recommend these gardens. We did not use a tour group, since we stayed in Haarlem is was an easy 30 drive in our rental car. There are marked Keukenhof buses at the Haarlem train station.

Amazing display of tulips
We toured these gardens as part of a river boat cruise. We spent most of our time in the main pavilion where hundreds of varieties of tulips were on display along with daffodils and others. Outside there were many pathways to leisurely stroll around and observe the great beauty of the gardens.
Apr 25, 2024Hattie472015
GLORIOUS
Fantastic gardens. Both my husband and I really enjoyed the landscaping and the planting of all the different tulips, colour schemes and compatible plants. We were there 5 hours and had a ride on a boat along the canal. Definitely worth a visit but by dinnertime park was packed. Get there early and take warm clothes as it’s been really cold this week.
Apr 25, 2024Roving519097
One to tick off the bucket list!
Fabulous experience, every bit as good if not better than the internet photos. A lot of visitors but well managed from the parking to the entry and the food service. Met several different nationalities also enjoying the experience.
Apr 25, 2024538tomn
Wonderful time
Spent about 3 hours here! It was a pleasure walking through the enormous gardens and experiencing more tulips than I knew could have ever existed. It was a trip for my wife but I think I enjoyed it more than her. I got a few pictures I will most likely be framing or have printed into canvas! I would highly recommend it! If you book through Tiqets you can have a bus and metro ticket combined!
Apr 24, 2024Examsue
Fabulous flowers!
Fabulous day out. Lots of visitors there but the place is huge and people keep moving as there are lots of paths and walkways. The flowers on display are stunning Lots of facilities too. Places to eat, tickets, gift shops etc. All very well organised
Apr 24, 2024Lunavix
Arrive early !
We arrived early, before the gates opened - and would recommend this as the first hour before the coach loads arrived was amazing. Immaculately tended flower beds, beautiful and creative planting and lovely vista’s. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Keukenhof and would defo italy come here again .
Apr 23, 2024contemplativewriter
joyful and uplifting
Spending a day at the Keukenhof was a highlight of our European trip! In fact, we liked it so much that we decided to return several days later for another long walk amidst the extraordinary colors. The combi-ticket, which buses you from Amsterdam or Haarlem right to the front door, makes it convenient and easy to visit. The landscapes are thoughtfully and creatively envisioned fresh each year, and the entire garden layout is designed to allow for a comfortable, accessible day of beauty. Pavilions give you an opportunity to learn the names of tulip varieties, there are multiple restaurants and gift shops, waterways and playgrounds--something for everyone.
Apr 22, 2024AnnSeg
Awesome
Had a wonderful day here and enjoyed the arrangements. Go in the morning so there’s more room to walk around and take pictures. I bought a combi ticked (bus and entrance) - a good idea. Not very enjoyable food, but the coffee is nice. So beautiful flowers, well worth a visit!
Apr 21, 2024Zurusie
Amazing
We were 2 days ago. (19 April). The flowers and garden are amazing, a lot of flower varieties. We bought tickets in advance on internet and went on ourself by bus 854 from Leida. We didn't wait a lot for the bus. It wasn't the queue to entrance at all. This is very organized. In Holland have very useful app 9292 for public transport. In the garden were thousands people, a lot of organized groups. I wanted to buy bulbs but now it's too late, it's possible to buy plants in pots. I recommend it, it was worth going there.
Apr 21, 2024desifoto
Amazing
This garden is one of the best gardens you can go to. It’s gorgeous! It’s huge! It is crowded especially in the morning. Take the 852 bus to get there. You can find found and gift shops there.
Apr 20, 2024emileee83
Spectacular place to spend a day
Stunning grounds with lots of amazing photo opportunities. Loved the displays and varieties on offer. Even the rain couldn’t put a dampener on our day. Plenty of places to eat. Would recommend a trip on the whisper boat. Very peaceful.
Apr 19, 2024Maps44790374696
Lots of fun
Beautiful place. Saw flowers I have never seen before, parking and entry was a breeze! This is not a tour of the flower fields. This is a beautiful manicured garden. Food, music, dry cool. The photos make it seem like you’re going to the fields. Is that is what ya want. This is not it but fantastic.
Apr 19, 2024smitk037
Wow, wow and WOW!
Absolutely stunning and amazing for the annual tulip festival. This was overwhelming in a good way. We were blown away by the sheer size and number of tulips all planted in gorgeous displays across this huge property. Great indoor exhibits as well as food and beverage and shopping opportunities. We absolutely loved it!!
Apr 18, 2024J2454RKgeorgek
Riot of colours
We ordered this tour well in advance and everything worked like clock work. You travel by bus from Leiden to Keukenhof. There was lots of people but the organisation worked very well. The whole garden is a wonder which one does not expect. The riot of flours cannot be explained in words. The variety of colours, flowers and plants boggles the mind. Put a day aside and get lost in the wonder of nature. Can understand that the information is that 7,000,000 bulbs are planted by hand, every year. Thank you for a very special highlight of our visit to the Netherlands

Do park and cycle round the fields. Arrive by bike if you can!
Really enjoyed the day, went on a Friday, around 9am entry. Wasn’t too busy at that time, when we left at 2pm there were more people. Stayed at a hotel locally and arrived by bike - would definitely recommend as there were so many cars and queues on the road to arrive and get into the car park. We cycled from Lisse on a cycle path that shadowed the motorway but was in a field next to, so completely safe and not unpleasant. What I didn’t expect is the little paths like stepping stones in a few places, a big playground and a petting zoo for kids. Tulips and park were lovely, enjoyed the hot waffle. The day wasn’t perfect weather and the boat had no protection and seats were wet when we got in so take something to sit on! We had waterproof trousers and despite looking silly we were the only ones not shivering by the end! The commentary was a bit light for what I was expecting, and also my headset didn’t work and I thought the speaker hadn’t started(were told would be after 4-5 mins anyway) so missed the intro. For €10 I’m not sure the boat was completely worth it, but equally maybe you miss out if you don’t! I would be happier to recommend if there was more information given, there were cushion on the seat or umbrellas/capes given out to those poor people without protection or a roof than can be put on on wet days. We then cycled around the fields afterwards, initially we weren’t sure how to pick a route, then the bike rental gave us a map and we realised there are 3 routes. We had e bikes so did the long route and was really nice to have the contrast of the san dunes also and there were much fewer tourists on that part of the route - I think most tend to do the short one. There were some people who maybe don’t cycle much and are a bit wobbly - and definitely a safe route if that is you, but bear in mind if you want to cycle off that the pace is slower on the little route part.

Large Tulip Garden
Large The Tulip flower garden , very easy to reach by public transportation. The facilities inside are also very complete, restaurants, kiosks, etc. The tulip collection is very complete.
Apr 18, 2024marymary27
Well worth a visit
We booked the option with bus transfer from Amsterdam. Reading other reviews, I am pleased that we decided to book for a bus at 10.00. It was busy, and raining at the time, but we waited less than 10 minutes. The park is definitely worth visiting. It is huge, with stunning displays of tulips and other bulbs. There are cafes with indoor and outdoor seating, plus exhibition halls with interesting displays. All staff were smartly dressed and helpful. However my 13 year-old grandson soon tired of tulips! So probably not an ideal trip for that age group.
Apr 16, 2024U7041TUkristineh
Flowers , yes. Biking, no.
This is hands down the best place to experience the famous flowers of Holland. But, go early in the day. It gets very very crowded! I rented bikes and that was not such a rewarding experience. My bike was not such a great quality and very uncomfortable. What you saw on bike was not that great. I would not recommend renting a bike to see the fields unless you just enjoy biking, but bring your own bike! Using their transportation was seamless!

Gorgeous Tulips and More
We visited the Keukenhof Gardens last week, and even with the slight rain we had upon arrival when the park opened at 8am, the gardens exceeded every expectation!! Highly recommend arriving early before the crowds begin. We were blown away by the magnificent display upon entry. Over 7 million bulbs with so many varieties! Be sure to visit all of the pavilions to see the indoor displays as well. Willem-Alexander has rows and rows of gorgeous flowers indoors!! Beatrix has an Orchid room and Anthurium room. Oranje Nassau had all kinds of roses. We enjoyed coffee and Dutch apple pie at Wilhelmina. Don’t miss the windmill and farm animals. We loved our time at Keukenhof Gardens so much!! Only open March 21 thru May 12th this year!! Don’t miss it!
Apr 14, 2024thelitmustest
Worth a visit!
Beautiful gardens and gorgeous flowers but it was terribly crowded! I booked to go from Schiphol as I was staying in Utrecht. I suggest tht you go early if you can to avoid the crowds and one must definitely book ahead!
Apr 14, 2024ldgp14
Fantastic gardens
The Keukenhof is a stunning garden and well worth visiting (when it is open), I will add it was super busy and we had to wait an hour for the bus home. There are loads of cafes/shops in the garden so you'll have plenty of chance to take in the views with a drink.
Apr 14, 2024SiddhiinGalway
Simply the best (during the spring!!
I would recommend to stay locally near Lisse and enjoy the beach nearby and get the local bus 90 to Keukenhof gardens OR come straight from Amsterdam via buses etc. We first went to Keukenhof during the 1995 spring and I had such positive dream like memories of it as a child, finally decided to do a return there and it was truly extraordinary- the gardens are certainly up there as one of the world's finest. We managed to walk 21900 steps without getting very tired- as the tulips were a continuous inspiration. We took the whisper boat, with was enjoyable even if not all the tulips had bloomed/opened fully. It was still magnificent. We enjoyed the 75th year of the gardens and the exhibition at Juliana was a nice addition to the wonderful flowers.

So beautiful
These gardens are so beautiful, so many colours, but be aware in peak times there is many visitors here and it can get crowded

Avoid Keukenhof Express, but do go to Keukenhof!
Keukenhof gardens themselves, 5* Lots of other reviews will be more poetic, but it was v.clean, well maintained, flowers were spectacular and plenty space even if there are thousands of people around! HOWEVER, beware the Keukenhof Express from Amsterdam RAI / Europaplein - they are supposed to have timed tickets for the coaches to Keukenhof, that is nonsense; you get there and the staff say "just join the line, doesn't matter what time on ticket", so you join the massive queues (took us about 1h10m to get on the coach and that was standing room only!). For the way back, it was slightly better: they said that buses left every ten minutes ... but there was still another big queue and a 45minute wait. Both queues were poorly managed, with a few dodgers pushing in and it was difficult to tell where the queue was and for which bus? I would definitely visit Keukenhof Gardens again, but I would not recommend their approved Keukenhof Express coach run by Arriva.

See the Gardens!
What a beautiful village! Peaceful and breathtaking 360°. What a magical day we had! I wish we had done the Canal Ride while we were at the Gardens but we ran out of time. We got to do the hedge maze though! :)
