WHAT IS THERE TO DO
AT THE KEUKENHOF?
Let’s start by saying that the flowers are the stars of the show! And we’ve been waiting all year for them to bloom!
There are around 7 million spring flowers here in total, with about 4.5 million tulips being planted by hand every year along with daffodils, hyacinths and crocuses. It’s more than worth all that effort – trust me!
It’s important to remember that not all the flowers are out at the same time. Crocuses, daffodils and hyacinths – and some tulips – bloom early. But you have to wait until the back end of the season to admire some other types of tulips, including the taller varieties.
Footpaths covering a distance of 15 km in total guide you through the sea of spring blooms, taking you past huge flower beds and branching off into narrow trails leading to charming little gardens and water features.
It may come as no surprise that there’s a windmill in the park!
And all you art aficionados out there will be pleased to hear that there are plenty of sculptures to check out too.
You won’t want to miss the floral displays inside the various pavilions, which are filled with orchids or tulips presented to perfection.
Among all the flowers, you’ll also find food stalls, restaurants and a traditional Dutch organ or two.
Be warned that the Keukenhof can get pretty busy at the weekend, so you’ll be better off going during the week if you can.
Cool for kids:
There’s a free scavenger hunt to keep the little ones entertained. You can pick up a booklet from the information desk at the entrance to the park or download it from the website before you go (available in English).
Kids will also enjoy the petting zoo, where they can see goats, pigs and peacocks up close.
The play area and maze are also popular with children who need a break from all the flowers!
