Before checkout

What is often not included

  • Seasonal Closure

    Keukenhof is strictly a seasonal attraction (typically late March to mid-May); as of June 2026, the park is closed, and any tickets sold are for the 2027 season.

  • Transport Gap

    Standard entry-only tickets do not include the Keukenhof Express bus; expect to pay an additional €12–€17 for round-trip shuttle transfers from Amsterdam or Schiphol if not booking a 'Combi' or 'Transfer' variant.

  • Shuttle Queue Reality

    'Skip-the-line' or 'Priority' labels apply only to the park entrance; they do not bypass the 30–60 minute queues often found at the shuttle bus boarding points in Amsterdam or Schiphol.

  • Luggage Depot Capacity

    While a free supervised depot is available for large suitcases, it has limited capacity and may fill up during peak hours; small lockers are also available for free.

  • Online-Only Requirement

    Tickets are not sold at the park entrance. You must secure a timed-entry slot online in advance, as popular dates frequently sell out weeks ahead.

  • On-site Dining Premium

    Food and beverage prices at the park pavilions are significantly higher than Amsterdam city rates; visitors are permitted to bring their own snacks and water to avoid these costs.

Insider tips

Good to know before your visit

  • Entrance

    Keukenhof has a Main Entrance and an Extra Entrance. Direct KeukenhofBuzz services from Amsterdam RAI and Schiphol serve the Main Entrance, while visitors arriving by car should follow their parking instructions to the assigned entrance. Check your ticket or transfer voucher for the correct drop-off point; priority wording does not remove security or access controls.

  • Price

    The supplied offers show GetYourGuide products from €35 to €119 and Tiqets products from €59.50 to €94.50, depending on the selected experience and inclusions. Compare the final checkout total, date availability, transport or activity inclusions, and cancellation terms before paying; these figures are seller-row prices, not an official Keukenhof rate comparison.

  • Discounts

    For 2027, Keukenhof states that tickets become available from mid-October and use 30-minute arrival slots. Manual wheelchairs can be rented for €5; electric wheelchairs and mobility scooters may be brought, but electric devices are not available to rent on site. Verify age bands, proof requirements and any free-ticket rules in the official checkout or selected seller voucher.

  • Timing

    Arrive early enough for security checks, ticket scanning and wayfinding.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I visit Keukenhof in June 2026?

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.

Do I need to print my tickets or can I show them on my phone?

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.

What happens if I arrive late for my booked time slot?

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.

Does a standard entry ticket include the bus from Amsterdam?

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.

Are there storage facilities for large luggage and suitcases?

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.

Do children and infants need their own tickets?

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).

Can I cancel or change my visit date after booking?

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.

What is the biggest bottleneck I should prepare for?

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.
