Park and flower arrangements are amazing. The food options were also better than expected with food trucks providing some variety. I would like to give five stars on this bases but there were simply too many people on the day we were there (Labour day). Maybe during the week there would be fewer people and the overall experience would benefit from that.
beautiful garden of tulips , easy park, enough stop by for drinks and snacks inside, clean toilets and lots of flowers.. of course!
Little overrated for me. I had seen flower parade and fields also. So it's not that much interesting for me.
Came here Easter Monday, tulips just about to bloom. Got loads of crocuses though. Tulips int be green house are amazing.
Outstanding park full of flowers and beautiful landscapes!
Good selection of flowers. The food and drinks were way too expensive though.
Amazing array of tulips, orchids, hyacinths, muscari, in varieties that are not seen here. Peacock, goats, and ducks are also amusing.
nice place to visit but not extra ordinary,,, can skip if you have anythig else on iterinary
Only the best garden I have seen! Definitely want to come back. FYI, it is only open for 3 months in a year, only in Spring season. Good to visit for the whole day even, they have food plazas, shops and restrooms. Usually a crowded place, tourists from all over the world can be seen here. Maybe visiting at earlier times would have less people.
A lot of flowers. Parc of flowers of all colors. Nice but i would not go there again. Food is basic and expensive better take a sandwich from home. Why charge 2 euros for a bottle of water?? Imo water should be free. Lots of turists..
Gorgeous. Honestly the prettiest sights you will ever see. We went in April and saw millions and millions of beautiful flowers. Once in a lifetime experience for me!
If it's tulip season , it's the place to visit. Tickets and transportation available on website, same price as if bought separately. Lovely!
Very nice place a lot of people because of easter must see
beautiful park. has shuttle bus trip between city central and park
The most exciting park I've ever seen!! Must go for those who like flowers and tulips in particular!
Great place to see all kinds of tulips with amazing sights
If you don t like Netherlands, then this place will change your mind about that country. It is so beautiful, you will see different colors of flowers that you never saw. The best place to be close to nature.
Highly overrated. You can visit it once. Should hire a bike and ride it around the farm.
This place was fantastic. It was quiet after a rainy storm. For plenty of pictures with only a few hours left when we arrived. Recommend going if you have the chance.
Amazing! Tulips! 20th May! Describe Keukenhof! Must watch once in a lifetime!
omg this place is seriously for nature lovers and flower lovers, wherever u see, u see tulips, Darwin Hybrid,Triumph,Double,Fosteriana,Lily-Flowered and more, this is heaven for nature lovers, must visit xoxo
"You can't love this place if u don't like flowers"
Fantastic display of bulb based flowers. Five hours wasn't enough to see it all, although it would probably look different every week. Not a cheap day out at around 18 each plus parking, guide, food etc, but a great day out nonetheless.
Was raining but didn't stop from appreciating the hard work of drawing with tulips! At least, you should visit once on your life!
Amazing...must visit if u r going to Amsterdam. Do not ask anymore questions.
Pretty, pretty place.
It's shocking how beautiful it is, really.
But I'm disappointed about how many tourists there was... Unbereable.
Too much wait in a queue to take the bus, too much people, I really don't like that.
And I must add how anoying it is too see people everywhere taking stupid photos without stopping. Calm down it's just flowers !
10 stars. Best flower show we have ever seen. Amazing.
So beautiful! This is the largest beautifully flower garden I ever saw. Recommended place for you who want to visit The Netherlands. You can see hundreds varieties of the flowers, especially for the Tulips. Just Keukenhof Express Bus (from Schiphol, Leiden and Haarlem) and your own transportation can go there.
overrated, except for the pavilions, the blooms outside were not majestic as the same level in other flower gardens in the world. The tulip fields were also empty with just red colored flaming tulips in one corner. There should be more information put on website regarding the tulip fields. Little disappointed may be because of hype created by my European friends. :-)
Very well maintained place of more words than 1000 Kind of Tulips
Absolutely beautifull, recommended for any flower lover!
Just a great botanical garden I recommend to everyone.
Magnificent! Don't miss it!
The place it's crowded but worth it
Want to say - I love you? Say it her in Keukenhof...
So nice to walk through all of these beautiful flowers
Also available for wheelchairs, you can bring your dog and there are plenty of things to do for children as well worth visiting!!!
I went to Keukenhof Gardens back April 17,2014 with my Mom it was breathtaking! It was totally a heavenly experience for us both.
Beautiful park full of tulips, Narcisos and orchids! I loved it
I recommend to visit this park everyone who is going to Netherlands during this period. It's like a symbol of Netherlands, with many flowers, windmill and klompen(traditional Dutch wooden shoes) you may take a picture in Park is open just few weeks a year and it worth it to see!
Absolutely stunning display of tulips. Make sure you budget several hours to explore the entire area. There was plenty of things to keep our two young kids entertained as well.
Simply superb. Never seen that many variations of flowers in life. Enjoy
Open only during spring, mid of march to mid of may. Best time to visit is end of April. Crowded but very beautiful.
one of the famous spots to take picture during springs
Great place to spend the day during the months of April and May. It might get a little crowded if the day is sunny, but still you can enjoy yourself with nature.
Very impressive! A must to do. Really need more than the half day tour to see everything.
Very nice garden with nice accessibility for wheelchair users!
Clean toilets and nice playground for the children!
went there were relatively fewer tourists (thousands instead of tens of thousands). the queues were shorter than what we anticipated. "touristy" but this was expected. the displays and the fields were awesome.
my mom would have loved it here.
-great park
-lots of flowers
-animals (rabbits, goats, chickens)
-activities for children
-good chocolate
-large variety of souvenirs
-great places for pictures
-boat trip
-places where you can chat with friends
For those who loves overcrowded places.
We took a 852 bus, but there were several road accidents, so arrived 1 hour later.
Huges queues everywhere.
Lovely Garden !
Love the fields around.
Try the bike !
Beautiful place, perfect for a relaxing afternoon walking amongst beautiful flowers . Many places to eat and grab a bite inside. Even though it was crowded, I was able to enjoy it. Recommended!
Beautiful tulips and atmosphere in general, though abit overcrowded.
Some flowers are so awesome that they look unreal. The park is really good organised.
One of the most beautiful flower garden in the world :)
Wonderful flower gardens open between March and May. Sure to shot lots of photos. You can take a boat tour among the gardens for 8 euros. Adult tickets are 17 euros alone, or 25 euros with return trip bus. There are restaurants and cafes inside. It is said that weekends are very crowded.
Lovely garden. Try to go workays, because weekends are very very crowded. The place is well prepared for a lot of people though (lots of toilets, places to eat, etc). Entrance is expensive.l The surroundings of the park are very beautiful too (huge colorful tulip fields), so a good idea is to drive there and stop on the side of the roads to take pictures and enjoy the sights for free. The area covering Lisse, Nordwijk, Sassenheim, Katwijk, Leiden and Harlem has many tulip fields visible from the highways.
A magnificent place. If you have a choice you better visit the park on a sunny day to enjoy the tulips open to the sun. And don't hesitate to arrive at 8.00 in the morning, you'll have the park for your own, because at 10.00 buses bring groups from everywhere.
Absolutely amazing, everyone should visit at least once.
Was ok. Last day, many flowers already dead, yet ticket prices still the same
The gardens were gorgeous but honestly after seeing part of it it became monotonous.
With so many gorgeous floral displays, the Keukenhof is certainly a highlight of any trip to the Netherlands.
Lovely and one of the best attractions of Netherlands
Unbelievable
Love it
Must visit when flower season is on. can take full day , plenty to see and lots of picture opportunities. Onsite Cafe and gift shop
Perfect day.. a cool spring breeze with the scent of blossoms
Many of the flowers had bloomed already by the second week of May. And it was raining but still there were a lot of people. But I quite liked it
A very nice and relaxing park to visit. Not the usual tulip farms that you see online where people are surrounded with hell lotsa flowers.
Anyway, I totally love the idea that they have some animals (goats, sheep, ducks, rabbits, pigs, etc.) which we can see and even have close interactions with (not all of them, though)!
I'd recommend people visiting the place during mid-season as I visited on 11 May 2018 (few days before Keukenhof closes for the year), and many parts of the flowers had been harvested (so it wasn't as luxuriant as expected), and I think some flowers/landscapes had passed their best state for display (not as neat).
Also, another advise for future visitors is to choose a sunny day to visit the place so it's more comfortable to walk around in such a big park like this; and most importantly, most of your pictures look nicer with natural sunlight!
Gorgeous and amazing, even on a dreary day. Highly recommend!
This place is AMAZING!!!! I don t care what your tourist books are saying about this place being overrated. This IS the place for tulips if you re here for the tulips. It was worth every penny of admission fee. Great tip: bring your own water, water goes for 5 for a small bottle in the garden. Bring your own food too if you don t want to be paying tourist prices when you re hungry.
The history of Keukenhof dates back to the 15th century. Countess Jacoba van Beieren [Jacqueline of Bavaria] (1401-1436) gathered fruit and vegetables from the Keukenduin [kitchen dunes] for the kitchen of Teylingen Castle. Keukenhof Castle was built in 1641 and the estate grew to encompass an area of over 200 hectares.
Landscape architects Jan David Zocher and his son Louis Paul Zocher, who also designed Amsterdam's Vondelpark, redesigned the castle gardens in 1857. That park, in the English landscape style, still constitutes the basis of Keukenhof.
In 1949 a group of 20 leading flower bulb growers and exporters came up with the plan to use the estate to exhibit spring-flowering bulbs, signalling the birth of Keukenhof as a spring park. The park opened its gates to the public in 1950 and was an instant success, with 236,000 visitors in the first year alone. 2018 will be the 69th edition of Keukenhof, with Romance in Flowers as its theme. During the past 67 years Keukenhof has developed into a world-famous attraction.
one of my bucket list, and off course the best experience i've ever had. I went to Keukenhof, five years ago, and its still remind me to a garden with full of a lot of tulips in many color, its like in fantasy land with thousands flower
Amazing park! You have to visit it. Full of colours!
