I visited recently on a chilly day in early May. Most of the huge displays of tulips had passed their prime, but there were enough to please me and get a sense of what must be spectacular at it's peak. However, the azaleas and Rhodies were in bloom and there was plenty to enjoy. I was happy we went and... More

A few years ago I had an hour to spend at these spectacular gardens and as you might imagine, it was more of a painful experience, than a pleasurable one, to have to drag myself away after such a short time. At that point I knew I would return someday and finally I did! I watched the ta posts, hoping... More

Once on a cold winter day when I it was 25 degrees below zero in Kiev, I found the site of Keukenhof (www.keukenhof.nl). It was love at first sight and I decided that I should go there in spring. On the 25th of April the weather in Lisse was not warm, it was raining but nothing could spoil the great... More

When we visited this beautiful park of tulips at begin of May, we saw about 4 million tulips blooming. The green of the grass, the trees, the buildings with the exhibitions of other flowers were for me the paradise. More

If you are in the netherlands during late April or early May this is a sight not to miss. Don't worry about goign on a tour. If you are in Amsterdam, it is a short train/busd ride to the gardens. Touring on your own gives you the freedom to spend as must or as little time at the gardens. Buses... More

We went to Keukenhof last year, it was a great experience, the most beautiful place to see flowers and a great place to walk around, last year was about the middle of the season (April). This year we went again at the end of the season on the last week before season ends (end of may), it was DISAPPOINTING!!!! lots... More

We went 2 days before they closed for the season. I would estimate about 1/3 - 1/2 of the tulips were cut back, but it was still an amazing place to visit and worth every penny. The orchard display was probably our favorite. There are acres of tulips and other beautiful flowers around the gardens. If we planned ahead we... More

Our day at the Keukenhof was not nearly enough. It was so beautiful and the flowers were amazing. Every way we turned we saw something new. As we were on a tour, we only had 4 hours there and actually we were really tired by then but there was so much to see. I had no idea there were so... More
