Very touristy.

Very touristy.
Totally worth it.

Absolutely outstanding flower park.
All beverages and snacks are poor quality and EXPENSIVE. So bring your own.

Good connection with their own buses (one from Leiden Centraal).
Overall, wonderful experience!

I m not much of a flower or garden person but I was impressed. The place is huge - will take you at least 2 hours to walk around. There are a few buildings to visit, a small animal farm, and several creative paths through the gardens.

Amazing

That is one of a kind place. The biggest tulips garden in the world. It is preferable to buy the tickets online from the official website. The distance is quite short from Amsterdam. (I.e. 30 minutes). Morning times are also better. Visiting Keukenhof is a great opportunity to take beautiful memorial photos. Restaurnts are available there as well, with fair prices. I visited the park once and i don't mind going again!

Nice place but heavily overcrowded. I was there end of April and I believe most of the tulips were already overblown. It was hard to enjoy the nature with houndreds of people constantly passing you by.

Very brilliant place to visit at the end of March, when the spring comes and the park is opened to the public each year. It provides tulips in a variety of styles and colors from many different countries, as well as greenhouses with various themes. Besides, public transportation is also provided for the communication to Amsterdam Schiphol Airport and Leiden central station.

We had heard many great things about the Keukenhof flower garden, mainly that it was a must if we wanted to see the most beautiful flower garden that the Netherlands has to offer. We thought the price was quite high for a flower garden; 26 euros including transport to and from Lisse train station. This seemed a fair price to pay considering what we had heard, though.

It was a beautiful day that we visited, which meant we were much more excited on the way there than we expected. Buying our tickets and getting into the garden was painless, but as soon as we went through the gates we knew that this would not be as relaxing and easy as we thought. The sight that greeted us in Keukenhof reminded us all too painfully of living in London and visiting Oxford Street on a Saturday. In other words, it was super crowded.

The sheer number of people took away a lot of the enjoyment we would have had from Keukenhof, unfortunately. People were not exaggerating that the flower displays here were amongst the most beautiful in the world, but when you are constantly being pushed forward by the sea of people and trying to look around the hundreds of people taking photos it is hard to appreciate this beauty. This extended to everything else in the gardens; the queues for toilets, food and drink were at least 20 minutes each, and there were nowhere near enough benches and chairs for the number of people here. After your 20+ minute wait, you were then greeted with extortionate prices for less than average food.

For the beauty of the gardens we would give this 5 stars, but the number of people (and how unsuitable the facilities were for this many people) really brought these gardens down. If you don't mind fighting through crowds and being pushed along while trying to enjoy the flower displays this might not be too bad, but our visit was ruined by these crowds. I would really suggest to the organisers that they set a ticket limit for each day; it seems that the owners care more about how much money they're making each day than how much their guests enjoy it. Top tip for potential visitors - if you can avoid it don't go on the weekend!

Okay, the tulips are next level here. Like actually. I really doubt there is anything else like it anywhere, worldwide. The issue is that THE WHOLE PLANET IS LITERALLY HERE VISITING THE GARDEN. Get here early or you will actually be rubbing elbows with strangers for hours. Consider taking a train to the closest village and just walking (or biking) there. If you take a bus you'll be stuck in traffic for hours.

Some people in these reviews claim you can get the same experience for free by renting bikes and cruising beside the tulip fields. I agree that this can be done but it's not quite the same experience as the cultivated tulip beds in the garden.

Too busy, too crowded, and too expensive but totally worth it.

i visited on 19th May 2019 and it was supposed to be last day for the entry to keukenhof , Though it was beautiful flowers , sadly i came to know that after reaching here is the Tulips from the farm lands will be supposedly cut 3 weeks before , so i could not get any view of the images that people post , This place will be more beautiful, if you can come in the month of APRIL

Lasts for 45 days, a very well organised tulip gardens and fields outside.

For a perfect visit start in the second week till 10 days before it closes. First week not all flowers are in bloom and last 10 days the tulips are no more bulbs.

All in a very memorable and photogenic place. A must visit if you in Netherlands or nearby during that period.

I had no clue there were so many different varieties of tulips. This place was truly stunning. Acre after acre of vibrant color! It was amazing. I ve never seen anything like it in my life.

Keukenhof, also known as the Garden of Europe, is one of the world's largest flower gardens, situated in Lisse, South Holland, Netherlands. According to the official website for the Keukenhof Park, approximately 7 million flower bulbs are planted annually in the park, which covers an area of 79 acres.

The park is situated on 15th century hunting grounds.

The staff were phenomenal and there was a great deal on admission that included a bus ride to and from the park! A truly stunning experience. Don t miss out!

Wonderful garden to visit in Spring. Check their website to make sure the tulips are in blossom and don't miss the opportunity even if you have enough layover in Amsterdam. You can buy a ticket including transportation from/to the airport.

Keukenhof is a lovely place to visit but they really need to improve the food. One thing I have come to count on in Europe is you can get reasonably priced good quality food at the restaurants inside major attractions. Unfortunately the food at Keukenhof was a major disappointment.

The portions are very small and everything appeared to have been sitting for a while.

Very environment friendly, huge place to walk around, tourist attraction. food available in the garden. Need minimum of 2hrs time to explore the place. Water available. Parking is available. Best time to go is during May till July month!!

The place is magical, but can get really crowded during the weekend especially with holidays around. If you don't like masses of picture taking tourists, I strongly suggest coming here as early as possible. Also don't take the bus from the airport, take the one from Hoofddorp instead or you'll be waiting in a queue.

Worst ever quality of bus used for transportation ...

Worst ever quality of bus used for transportation from Amsterdam which nearly suffocated the passengers. In turn affected the total experience in the gardens. A big NO for COMBI ticket. Not worth the spend.
