Tulip Experience Amsterdam 2026
Tulip Experience Amsterdam is located in Noordwijkerhout, just 2 km from Keukenhof, and features the largest show tulip garden in the area with over 4 million tulip bulbs. Each autumn, these millions of tulip bulbs are carefully planted to ensure a spectacular display in spring.
The garden showcases both early flowering and late blooming tulip varieties, allowing visitors to experience a vibrant range of colors throughout the season. Hyacinths, which bloom a couple of weeks earlier than tulips, add even more color and fragrance to the fields in early spring. The flower fields also include thousands of daffodils and props for photo opportunities — a highlight for many visitors.
It is a perfect, family-friendly attraction combining colorful flower fields with tulip history and culture. The experience also features a museum section providing a comprehensive overview of the history of tulip propagation in the Netherlands. At the end of your visit, you can enjoy a meal or snack at the on-site restaurant.

Mini Keukenhof
This tulip garden is also known as the "Mini Keukenhof." With so many different tulip varieties, this is a place where you can actually walk between the tulips — you do not have to stay on the paths. You can smell the tulips and create your most beautiful dream photos.
One of the most popular activities is picking your own tulips. Each adult visitor is entitled to pick five tulips, which is included in the entrance ticket. There are also interactive activities and hands-on experiences available, making it especially enjoyable for families with children.
Learning About a Tulip Farm
A real show garden on a bulb-growing farm. Visiting Tulip Experience Amsterdam is like taking a course in tulip history and cultivation — a structured, educational journey through the world of Dutch tulips.
The museum section provides detailed information about the history of tulip propagation in the Netherlands. You walk through the barn and receive all information about flower bulbs: the history, the most beautiful photos, where the tulip originates from, and how it is cultivated today. This is something you cannot see at Keukenhof, but you can experience here. A very special experience to have while visiting the Netherlands.

The tulip season in the Netherlands typically runs from late March to mid-May. Guaranteed tulips are available from April 10 onwards at Tulip Experience Amsterdam. From this date, not everything is in full bloom yet, but you can already learn a lot about tulips and take many photos.
The best time to visit is usually mid to late April when the tulips are in full bloom. Hyacinths bloom a couple of weeks earlier than tulips, providing colorful fields to visit in early April. If you visit between April 20 and May 5, this is the most beautiful period — everything is fully in bloom.
Visit early in the morning or on weekdays for a quieter experience.
Accessibility: If you are in a wheelchair or visiting with a stroller, that is no problem at all. This garden is open and suitable for everyone — a wonderful place to visit with family and friends.
