Question 1

When is Keukenhof open in 2026?

Accepted Answer

From 19 March to 10 May 2026, every day from 8:00 to 19:30, last entry at 18:00. The park is closed the rest of the year.

Question 2

When is the best time to see the tulips?

Accepted Answer

Mid-April is the peak for tulips, in the garden and in the fields around Lisse. Late March is best for hyacinths and daffodils, early May for late tulips and fewer visitors. Weather shifts the peak by a week or two each year.

Question 3

How much do Keukenhof tickets cost?

Accepted Answer

The official price is €21.50 for adults online (around €25 at the gate), about €9 for children aged 4–17, free under 4. Entry + return bus from Amsterdam or Schiphol costs about €36; parking is about €9–10 extra.

Question 4

Do I need to book in advance?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Tickets are timed and weekends in April sell out one to three weeks ahead. Weekdays in late March and early May are easier, but still book before you travel.

Question 5

How do I get to Keukenhof from Amsterdam?

Accepted Answer

The easiest way is the combined entry + bus ticket (from Amsterdam Centraal, A'DAM Tower or Schiphol). By public transport, take the train to Schiphol or the metro to RAI, then the Keukenhof Express bus 858 or 852. By car, 40 minutes on the A4.

Question 6

Are the tulip fields included in the ticket?

Accepted Answer

No. Keukenhof is a show garden; the striped fields are working farms around Lisse. See them on a bike tour, by rental bike from the entrance, by car, or from the windmill cruise inside the park.

Question 7

How long does the visit take?

Accepted Answer

Three to four hours for the garden and the pavilions; a full day if you add the fields by bike or a cruise. Once inside, you can stay until closing.

Question 8

Is Keukenhof suitable for children and wheelchairs?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Paths are flat and wide, there is a playground, a maze and a petting farm, and pushchairs and wheelchairs move easily. Manual wheelchairs can be reserved in advance. Children under 4 are free.

Question 9

Can I bring a dog, food or a drone?

Accepted Answer

Dogs on a lead are welcome in the garden but not in the pavilions or restaurants. Picnics are allowed on the lawns. Drones are prohibited.

Question 10

What happens if it rains?

Accepted Answer

The park stays open. The four pavilions are heated and full of flowers, and showers in Dutch spring rarely last long. Bring a waterproof layer rather than an umbrella, which the wind will turn inside out.

Question 11

What is the Flower Parade?

Accepted Answer

The Bloemencorso Bollenstreek is a 40 km procession of flower floats from Noordwijk to Haarlem, passing Keukenhof, on a Saturday in late April. It is spectacular and the busiest day of the season: book tickets well ahead if you want to combine the two.

Question 12

Can I cancel or change my ticket?

Accepted Answer

Official tickets are tied to a date and slot and generally non-refundable. Tickets booked through Tiqets show their own policy on the product page: most entry and bus tickets allow free cancellation up to 24 hours before.
