Which Tulip Experience Tour suits you?

Tulip Fields Tour & Tulip Experience

Do you want to stand among the tulips, take beautiful photos and find out more about the best-known flower of the Netherlands? Then choose this half-day tour from Amsterdam.

At Tulip Experience Amsterdam, you combine the colourful show garden with the story behind the tulip. Discover how the flowers are grown, look at the different shapes and colours and find your favourite photo spot.

Indoors, you can pick your own tulips in the covered picking garden. So it is not just about looking: you also take a little piece of spring home with you.

A lovely choice if you want to experience the tulips up close without spending a full day out.

Keukenhof & Tulip Experience Tour

Two flower attractions, each with its own character. At Tulip Experience, you discover the story behind the tulips and take photos among the flowers. Then you travel on to Keukenhof for its landscaped gardens, surprising flower combinations and flower shows.

From Tulip Experience, buses leave for Keukenhof every 30 minutes. Within the available departure times, you decide yourself when to travel on.

From Keukenhof, you also travel back to Amsterdam flexibly, with the last return bus at 19:00. That way you plan your day around what you want to see and experience.

The ideal combination for anyone who wants to enjoy Dutch spring to the full.

Stand among the tulips yourself

Some photos you do not just want to look at, you want to take them yourself. In the show garden of Tulip Experience, you walk along the marked paths among the tulips and find plenty of spots for a special spring photo.

A portrait among your favourite colours, a cheerful family photo or a picture together surrounded by flowers: take your time to look around and discover different spots.

The show garden is specially laid out for visitors. That way you experience the tulips up close, with respect for the flowers.

Discover the story behind the tulip

How did the tulip become a symbol of the Netherlands? And what happens at a nursery before the flowers appear in spring?

In the museum, you discover the history and cultivation of tulips. The story of the family business shows how much work, knowledge and care go into a garden in bloom.

Afterwards, you look at the flowers outside with different eyes. Behind every colour and every bulb lies a story.

Pick your own piece of spring

In the covered picking garden, you choose and pick your own tulips. A cheerful end to your visit and a fun activity to do together.

Even if a spring shower falls, you can enjoy the flowers here. Combine picking with the museum and take another look outside as soon as it clears up.

Chosen by you, picked by you and ready to enjoy once more at home.

Tulip Experience or Keukenhof: what is the difference?

At Tulip Experience Amsterdam, the focus is on tulip growing, the show garden, photo moments among the tulips and picking your own flowers.

At Keukenhof, you discover an extensive flower park with landscaped gardens, a variety of spring flowers, pavilions and flower shows.

Would you like to experience both sides of Dutch spring? Then choose the combination tour and visit both in one day.
