A “must-see” event
Absolutely stunning, but here are some tips. We purchased the Keukenhof bus and entry combo from the Keukenhof website. Arrived at Europaplein on the metro (stop is Rokin) around 7:30 for an 8:30 departure. There was already quite a line for the bus. Bus arrives around 8:15 - they pack the people on, there’s very little seating room so the majority of passengers are standing cheek to cheek for the duration of the transit (40 minutes during morning rush). There was no air circulation and it was very hot- combined with some unfortunate odors this made for a very painful trip. The ride home was empty and more comfortable. Early in the morning it was spectacular, the flower combinations are amazing, the variety left us speechless. We didn’t realize you cannot see the fields much from the gardens, and we wish we would’ve booked a separate bike ride or tour of the flower fields. The boat tour line was hours long so we were unable to do that either.

The reason you visit the Netherlands in Spring
Its a bit of a bucketlist item. We visited on the day the flower parade was on. The bus journey from Amsterdam is supposed to be 45 minutes long, took more like 1hr 30 due to the sheer volume of people. We got the earliest bus too. Keukenoff is a flower garden tulip disney land. The crowds do take the edge of the wow factor off quite a bit. I was expecting a big crowd , but even this was on a scale of a football stadium / music concert capacity and moving like it was the end of the event. Food is very highly priced , +- 22 euros for a very basic chicken and chips. The food quality is very mediocre. and not easy to find seating early on. There are a number of restaurants /diners and they all have the same problem early morning. After 14h30 the crowds drop off and you breathe a bit . The windmill , view of the fields, indoor displays are very well put together. By that time the crowds have worn you out. The stepping stones submerged under water is a very nice feature, best left until the afternoon . The ques to get out and get back on the bus are very long . we waited for more than an hour , +- 17h30. Be prepared to do alot of walking . The entire park can be done in a day , but would recommend 2 days to take your time through it , instead having to push through it in one day. It is superb , but you may very well not want to see a tulip for a few days thereafter.
