FAQ
No, Keukenhof is a seasonal park that is only open during the spring bloom. For the 2026 season, the gardens were open from March 19 to May 10; the park is closed to the public throughout June.
Mobile tickets are standard and preferred. You can simply show the QR code on your smartphone to be scanned at the park entrance or by the bus driver if you have a Combi-ticket.
Keukenhof uses strict timed entry to manage crowds. While there is typically a 30-minute grace period before and after your slot, arriving significantly late during peak bloom weekends may result in denied entry.
No, a standard entry ticket only covers park admission. To include transportation, you must purchase a 'Combi-ticket' (which includes the public Keukenhof Express bus) or an organized coach tour from providers like GetYourGuide or Tiqets.
Small items can be stored in free lockers (25x55x45 cm) near the main entrance. For larger suitcases, a free supervised luggage depot is available at the entrance. Capacity is limited, so it is recommended to arrive early or leave large bags at your hotel if possible.
Yes. While children under 4 enter for free, they still require a 'free' ticket added to your online order to account for park capacity. Children aged 4–17 require a reduced-price ticket (approximately €9–€10 online).
Official tickets are generally non-refundable or have a strict 4-day cancellation window. Booking through partners like GetYourGuide or Tiqets often provides more flexibility, typically allowing a full refund up to 24 hours before your visit.
The longest queues are often not at the park gates, but at the bus boarding points (especially Amsterdam RAI and Schiphol). To minimize wait times, aim for the earliest morning slots or visit in the late afternoon after 16:00.
