Tulip Gardens Across the Netherlands Have Opened for the Season — See the Blooms

“There’s nowhere in the world where you can see the amazing colors of these tulips - it’s unbelievable and so beautiful.”

The beautiful sprout of colorful tulips across fields in the Netherlands is the latest sign that spring has arrived. Despite a cold start to the season, the latest flower report from one of the largest tulip fields in the world is promising for a beautiful spring.

The famed Keukenhof gardens, just 20 miles outside of Amsterdam, is home to over seven million unique tulips, and is now open for visitors to see the flowers up close.

“The first tulips and hyacinths are already flowering. Visitors can enjoy a colourful park from day one. In autumn, Keukenhof’s gardeners planted 7 million flower bulbs by hand. Across the Bollenstreek [bulb growing region] the fields are starting to bloom,” the flower exhibition Keukenhof shared in a statement.

“2023 is mainly a welcome back for our international visitors,” says Keukenhof’s director Jeroen Duyster in a statement. “We are looking forward to receiving visitors from across the planet again. Spreading our visitors across the season ensures optimum enjoyment for all and excellent accessibility.”

Keukenhof opened for visitors last week, and will conclude its season on May 14.. Tickets can be purchased on the attraction’s website. Entrance tickets are € 19.00 for adults, and €9.00 for children aged 4-17. The website also offers tickets for transportation to the attraction via boat or public transportation.
