Lisse – Keukenhof successfully concludes the 2025 season. More than 1.4 million visitors from all over the world enjoyed the colourful spring garden between March 20 and May 11. Visitors rated Keukenhof with an impressive 8.7 – a wonderful compliment for a vibrant experience.
Most visitors came from the Netherlands (20%), but flower enthusiasts from Germany, the United States, France, and the United Kingdom also found their way to Lisse. In total, Keukenhof welcomed guests from over 100 different countries. Notably, a large proportion of the visitors, over 15%, fell within the 25 to 34 age group.
Thanks to the use of arrival time slots, Keukenhof is able to manage visitor numbers effectively. A notable improvement this year was the consistent use of parking lot P2, which was previously only used during peak times. The new entrance contributed to a smooth and welcoming arrival experience.
20% of visitors arrived by bus. Public transport operator Qbuzz brought visitors to the park from locations including Schiphol, Leiden, Amsterdam RAI, and Haarlem. Keukenhof encourages the use of public transport and therefore offers combination tickets that include both park admission and a bus journey. A new addition this year was the direct hop-on-hop-off connection from The Hague and Rotterdam – an important step toward improved reachability. As a result, more visitors are choosing to travel by bus. In the coming years, Keukenhof will continue to invest in making it more attractive to leave the car at home.
Keukenhof employs 45 permanent staff year-round. During the open season, the team expands to around 1,100, all working together to create a memorable experience for every visitor.
Sandra Bechtholt, Managing Director of Keukenhof: “It’s fantastic to see how many people from all over the world come together to enjoy the flowers here. We’ve had a wonderful spring and are grateful for all the positive feedback. It gives us great motivation to make 2026 another blooming success!”
Keukenhof will be open in 2026 from March 19 until May 10.
