The park

Is Keukenhof open?
Keukenhof is open from Thursday, March 21 through Sunday, May 12 from 8:00 a.m. – 7:30 p.m., including Sundays and holidays.
Which flowers are currently in bloom?
Over the decades, we have gained so much experience that we have become very good at predicting when our bulbs will flower. However, much depends on the weather and that’s why the bulbs’ development stage might differ a little. During the season, we regularly post flower reports of what is currently in bloom. Click here to find out.
When is the best time to visit Keukenhof?
Flowering at Keukenhof parallels that in nature. That is why we cannot say in advance which time is the best to visit Keukenhof. The crocuses, daffodils, hyacinths and early tulips flower at the start of the season. Other flowers bloom later in the season such as the (larger) tulips. Our pavilions feature entrancing flower shows from the first to the last day of the season. Click here for the latest flower report.
