Keukenhof’s seven million spring bulbs bloom into one of the world’s largest flower displays each year, open for just a few weeks between March and May near Amsterdam.

Garden Entry Only

A garden entry ticket covers the full grounds, including themed flower beds, pavilions, and sculpture gardens, over roughly 32 hectares.

Garden Entry Plus Windmill Tour

Adding a windmill tour extends the day with a stop at a traditional Dutch windmill and surrounding tulip fields, often combined with a canal or countryside drive.

Garden Entry or Windmill Add-On: Which Is Worth It?

Garden entry alone fills a satisfying half day for most visitors, while the windmill add-on is worth it if you want the classic Dutch tulip-field photo beyond the garden’s cultivated beds.
