Can you buy Keukenhof tickets at the door?
If the entrance tickets to Keukenhof are sold out online, there is no chance you’ll be able to buy them at the door. But there is a trick that will most probably help you to buy tickets for the date of your choice.
The trick is: if Keukenhof entrance tickets are sold out, check the Keukenhof entrance + shuttle bus tickets or Keukenhof combi tickets (entrance + public transport from Amsterdam RAI, Schiphol, Leiden or Haarlem).
You can check availability right here:
Keukenhof entrance + shuttle bus tickets
Keukenhof combi tickets
If all combi tickets and shuttle bus tickets are also sold out for the date and time of your choice, we recommend checking availability regularly. There is a chance that someone will cancel their reservation and you’ll be the lucky one to book that spot.
You can also visit the tulip fields around Keukenhof – it’s free and you don’t need a ticket!
There are also special farms in the area which have photo zones for photos with tulips:

Keukenhof timeslots system
Keukenhof timeslots system was first introduced in 2022. So there is a limited amount of tickets available per day and pre timeslot. Since then, every season almost all weekends in April and May are usually sold out. That’s why we recommend booking Keukenhof tickets in advance to avoid unnecessary stress and disappointment.
Tip! If you are planning a visit to the Netherlands in March – May, make sure you book tickets to the most popular venues and museums (like the Van Gogh Museum, the Rijksmuseum, the Anne Frank house). If you want to travel inside Europe (to Paris, Brussels, Bruges, etc), order tickets in advance.
