Blooms Beckon: Keukenhof’s Floral Wonderland
In 2024, Keukenhof Gardens welcomes you to explore its enchanting floral wonderland. With vibrant tulips, daffodils, and hyacinths in full bloom, it’s a visual spectacle you won’t want to miss. In 2024 Keuken will celebrate its 75th anniversary so watch out for some special activities.
Main entrance or Entrance Extra
Most people will enter at the main entrance (mid under) on the map. This is the place of the bus station, the place where coaches from/ to Amsterdam will drop off and pick up. Entrance extra (mid top) will be used on busy days like holidays and weekends, especially for cars. Make sure to look which entrance you enter. At both entrances you can find paper maps to navigate the garden.
Blooming status
As you can read on our website the blooming is different every year. Blooming depends on the weather and temperature during winter and spring and on the flower. When you travel at the end of March you will find early blooming flowers like crocus and daffodils, when you travel in April you have a better chance to find hyacinths and tulips outside in bloom. Sign up for our free weekly blooming update during spring time to see if we have a early, regular or late spring this year.
When you travel in the first two weeks of opening make sure to travel to the Willem-Alexander Pavilion. In here gardeners have planted hundreds of different tulips in the greenhouse. When the flowers outside are not in bloom yet the tulips indoors will bloom.

The flower mosaic next to the Oranje Nassau Pavilion at Keukenhof is a captivating spectacle that reflects the essence of spring. Comprising carefully chosen flower varieties, the mosaic comes alive with intricate patterns and designs, showcasing the horticultural expertise that defines Keukenhof Gardens. This ephemeral masterpiece changes with the seasons, offering visitors a unique visual experience each time they explore the gardens.
