“A Doll, a mill, a tulip tulip tulip and a wooden shoe!” This little poem was sung to me the first time I stayed with my lovely Dutch family and, from what I’ve been told, it’s a quintessential list of all-things-Dutch. You can’t go very far in the Netherlands without seeing one of these items and now that spring has sprung, tulips are at the height of importance. According to their website, Keukenhof is “the place to see spring blossom,” and that wouldn’t be too difficult to achieve, what with over 4.5 million tulips and another 7 million flower varieties to view and smell in full bloom.
As the largest bulb flower park in the world, Keukenhof is located in between Amsterdam and Le Havre, a destination you can reach by bus or car. A ticket into the park costs a fair 14.50€ but the 9 miles of footpaths within approximately 80 acres of land will surely provide you much to explore on foot, by bike or by boat.
The down side of this park is that it’s only open March 22 to May 20 as its great attraction is the flowers in bloom. If you can’t get there fast enough to see the display this year, think of adding it to your itinerary for future trips as the park is open the same duration every year.
