My friend and I went here after realizing that the Dutch Village thing was just rides, petting zoos, and mini-golf (and it didn't appeal to us). Being in our forties, the costumed Dutch girls suggested we go see the Windmill Gardens. When you're right, you're right lol. You don't think about a street organ or a windmill being that fascinating until you actually see it. We thought it was pretty neat! Of course, this isn't the time of year for tulips (which I didn't initially realize. I had no idea what their lifespan was like and that they wouldn't be there). There wasn't much to see in that regard, but going up in the Windmill was really neat and worthwhile. The gift shop had lots of cool stuff too and I bought more than I thought I would. There were also some areas (in the only building that had a bathroom) that played videos that talked about the windmill. We used that time to sit and cool off as well (it was super hot outside). I would definitely want to take the rest of my family to see this place!

Worth seeing even when it is not tulip season. We really enjoyed visiting the authentic windmill. Great setting to take a walk too!

Dutch design wind mill that still grinds grain when the wind is 15-20mph. Visit and climb the steps to the many levels inside and engage the guides for an explanation of the mechanics of the mill.
Gardens and ponds and geese to wander. Buildings to explore a video history of the construction and operation of the wind mill. Sadly we were too late for the tulips but many other flowers in bloom.
