What is the best time to see tulips in the Netherlands?

Tulip season runs from the end of March until mid May. Exact blooming times depend on the weather, but tulips are usually at their best in mid April – beginning of May. If you want to see tulip fields in bloom, we recommend to travel to the Netherlands in mid April.

Later most flowers are cut, even before they are done blooming, as the farmers mostly grow tulips for the bulbs, not for flowers.

  1. I will reach Amsterdam only on 19 May morning, the last day of the flower exhibit. Is it still worthwhile to go Keukenhof Gardens? Will there still be many flowers to be seen?

  2. Hi! Do I have to book an exact time to travel via bus from Schiphol to Keukenhof? Or is it not necessary? Thanks!

  3. Hi, if i buy the combi ticket from amsterdam can I take the bus 397 at olympisch stadion stop? it’s near to my hotel. thank you

    • Yes, Olympisch stadion stop is inside the traject where the combi ticket is valid, so it should be ok.

    • A combi-ticket (entrance + bus) is valid for one day. So no, you cannot return on a different day.

  4. I have booked for 9:30 slot from amsterdam centraal to Kuekenhoff . If I reach early can i join the 9:00 AM slot

  5. Hello, what is the difference if I will choose Combi-ticket vs Keukenhof half-day tour? If I will choose Combi-ticket, will that allow me to roam around the Keukenhof Garden?

  6. we had a brilliant visit to KEUKENHOF and will definitely come again and recommend it to others visiting Holland. We have ordered bulbs from you and they will be planted and always remind us of our visit . A wonderful place magical.

    • Hi Sandra,
      Thank you very much for sharing your experience. We are happy you enjoyed your visit to Holland!

    • Yes, Keukenhof offers access for electric wheelchairs. The use of a wheelchair is free of charge. You only have to provide a €20 cash deposit for a wheelchair. This will be refunded when you return it. The number of wheelchairs is limited. You can reserve a wheelchair via Keukenhof official website up to the day before your visit at 17:00.

  7. I want to see the tulips, but if the weather is warmer, will the tulips blossom later? I just visited the northeast U.S. and Canada when the leaves are supposed to change colors, but the unusual hot weather kept the leaves green, and I missed the fall colors. Is there any way I can know in advance about the tulips? I don’t want to miss them.

    • In 2020 the Keukenhof gardens are open from 21 March to 10 May, including Easter weekend, King’s Day (27 April) and Liberation Day (5 May).

  8. Hello – and thank you for this amazing source of information. We arrive in Schiphol 10am Friday 17 April for the weekend.

    Would Friday be (even slightly) less busy than the weekend for visiting the gardens, and does that arrival time give us enough time at the gardens?

    If we go directly from the airport is it better to leave our luggage (small hand luggage only) at the airport – do they ever run out of lockers at the gardens?

    Many thanks.

    • Hi Karen,

      I would say that Friday can be slighly less busy than the weekend (it can still be crowded though).

      Your arrival time is perfect for visiting the Keukenhof gardens on the same day.

      There are lockers for the luggage in Keukenhof, there should be enough space. The only thing to keep in mind is that the Keukenhof Express buses are regular city buses, with no special luggage compartment. So travelling with the luggage can be not that comfortable, but of course it depends on the size and amount of luggage that you have.

      Enjoy your visit to the gardens!

  9. If I buy the Holland pass that has a gold entry to Keukenhof how do I then book the date I want to go. It will be on the 25th April as we are coming from Australia to see the flower parade as well.

    • With the Holland Pass you have to exchange your golden credit for the Keukenhof entry ticket at any of the Tours & Tickets shops. They are located in the city center of Amsterdam, and there is also one at the central station. You don’t need to book the date in advance because the Keukenhof tickets have an open date.

  10. We have just cancelled a cruise due to concern over Coronavirus. Is there any talk of Keukenhof offering ticket refunds or vouchers for future use for those of us who cannot use tickets purchased for 2020?

    • It’s a pity that you plans have changed.
      It’s the best to contact the website where you bought your tickets (Keukenhof official website or another online ticket office) directly and ask about their refund policy regarding the coronavirus related cancellations.

  11. We have to cancel our trip to Keukenhof due to the Corona virus. Can we have a refund or can we carry our visit over until next year.

    • Do you mean your admission tickets to Keukenhof? Yes, you can get a full refund. Keukenhof will not open in 2020.
      As for the hotel and flight bookings, please contact your service provider for their refund policy.

  12. When do we get our refund? We were scheduled to visit Keukenhof April 29,2020..coronavirus prevents this.
    We will go within two years. 65 Euros.
    Ron Giordano

    • Please contact the supplier (Tours & Tickets, Ticketbar or Keukenhof) who has issued your tickets. You can find their contacts in your e-tickets purchase confirmation. They will arrange a refund.

  13. Hi, i have ordred 3 tickets on the 7th January (60.50€) for Keukenhof 2020. Ordernumber 2002003414. Due to the circumstances please advise how we can get our money back. Thx Rachel

    • Hi! Please contact the supplier (Tours & Tickets, Ticketbar or Keukenhof) who has issued your tickets. You can find their contacts in your e-tickets purchase confirmation. They will arrange a refund.

  14. I have bought combined tickets to Keukenhof 2020. Since it is not opened this year, can I use them for next year?

    • Unfortunatelly, it’s not clear yet. But you can request a refund from the tickets supplier and buy new tickets for the 2021 Keukenhof season.

  15. Dear sir/s,
    After keukenhof close, the garden is still open for flower exhibition and for publix? Or the garden only open during keukenhof? Yhank you.

    • Hi! No, everything (the park and all flower pavilions) is open only for 2 months a year during the opening season.

  16. We plan to visit Keukenhof on April 17, 2023. It is still cold and rainy in Amsterdam. Will we see tulips in bloom at Keukonhof?

    • Hi Ashwini, of course there are no guarantees, but the chances to see tulips in full bloom on April 17 2023 are very very high (I would say 99%). I hope it helps!

  17. I understand there will be tulips at Keukenhof when we visit on April 17 2023. However, will they be the big tulips that bloom later and will they be in or close to peak bloom? Also are the tulip fields near Keukenhof blooming? Thank you!

  18. Love the tips for planning a visit to Keukenhof! Definitely saving this for my next trip to Holland. The photos are gorgeous, can’t wait to see the garden in person. Thanks for sharing!
