Keukenhof Tickets 2026: Prices, Types and How to Buy

Keukenhof tickets 2026 are required for entry during the 2026 season, which runs from 19 March to 10 May 2026. Tickets operate under a date and time-slot system, meaning you must select a specific arrival time when booking. Online purchase is strongly recommended, as availability is limited per time slot.

Keukenhof works with controlled daily capacity. Popular dates, particularly in mid-April and during major holiday weekends, can sell out. Booking in advance is therefore not just helpful planning. It is essential if you want guaranteed access.

Opening hours are 08:00–19:30, with last entry at 18:00.

How Much Do Keukenhof Tickets Cost in 2026?

Keukenhof ticket prices depend on age and purchase method.

For 2026:

• Adults: €21,50 when purchased online
• Children (4–17): €9–€10 online
• Children (0–3): Free entry

If tickets are available at the entrance, prices are higher:

• Adult on-site price: approximately €25
• Child on-site price: approximately €14

Buying your tickets online guarantees entry for your selected date and time slot. It is usually the most cost-effective option and significantly reduces the risk of arriving to find tickets sold out.

Are Keukenhof Tickets Date-Specific?

Yes. Keukenhof tickets are date and time-slot specific.

When booking, you must select:

• A calendar date
• A fixed arrival time

This system allows Keukenhof to manage daily capacity and regulate visitor flow. However, popular time slots, especially late morning arrivals, tend to fill quickly.

If your preferred time slot is unavailable, you must choose another hour or another date. Tickets cannot be used on a different day than the one selected.

Can You Buy Tickets at the Entrance?

In most cases, no. Keukenhof strongly encourages advance online purchases. While tickets may occasionally be available at the entrance, they are more expensive and not guaranteed.

Keep in mind:

• On-site prices are higher
• Availability is uncertain
• Popular days may be fully sold out before arrival

For that reason, booking Keukenhof tickets online in advance remains the most reliable way to secure your visit.

What Types of Keukenhof Tickets Exist?

Keukenhof offers several ticket categories. Each option supports a different way of visiting, so your choice depends on how you plan to travel and what kind of day you want to organize.

1. Regular Entrance Ticket

The Regular Entrance Ticket gives one person access to the gardens for a selected date and time slot. When booking, you choose a specific arrival window in advance. As a result, the park can manage visitor flow throughout the day and maintain steady entry levels.

You must arrive within your reserved time slot. After entering, however, you may stay and explore at your own pace. This ticket suits visitors who arrange their own transport and prefer a straightforward admission option.

2. Combi Ticket

The Combi Ticket combines entrance access with public transport from selected cities. Instead of booking transport and entry separately, you secure both in one coordinated reservation.

This option works especially well for visitors traveling from Amsterdam or other transport hubs. Because the ticket links transport to your selected entry time, it simplifies planning and reduces the need to coordinate separate schedules.

3. Parking Ticket

If you arrive by car, you need a Parking Ticket. Keukenhof sells this ticket separately from the entrance ticket, so you must reserve both when planning your visit.

Parking capacity remains limited, particularly during peak bloom weeks. Therefore, booking parking in advance ensures you can access the official parking areas near the entrance on your chosen date.

4. Whisper Boat Ticket

The Whisper Boat Ticket adds a guided electric boat tour through the surrounding flower fields to your visit. You book this experience in addition to your entrance ticket.

The electrically powered boats move quietly through the waterways, offering a different view of the bulb-growing landscape outside the main garden area. Because places are limited per time slot, you should align this add-on with your selected visit date.

5. Group Tickets

Keukenhof offers Group Tickets for organized parties with coordinated entry. Tour operators, schools, and larger travel groups typically use this option to streamline access.

Group organizers arrange entry times in advance so participants can enter together. Even so, the same date-based reservation system applies, and each group selects a specific visit day and time window.

Each ticket type serves a different logistical purpose. However, all tickets operate under the same date-based reservation system, which means every visitor selects a specific day and arrival time before visiting.

What Is a Keukenhof Combi Ticket?

Combi tickets, which include both transport and park entry, typically start around €30–€40, depending on the departure location and travel option selected.

Departure cities typically include:

• Amsterdam
• Schiphol
• Leiden
• Haarlem

Prices generally start around €30–€40+, depending on the departure location.

The primary advantage is convenience. You arrange transport and admission in one booking instead of purchasing them separately. Detailed route information is covered in the dedicated transport guide.

Is Parking Included in the Ticket?

No. Parking is not included with the standard entrance ticket. If you are arriving by car, you must purchase a separate parking ticket.

For 2026:

• Online parking price: €9–€10
• On-site parking price: approximately €14

Adding parking during online checkout is recommended. It secures your space and avoids higher on-site pricing.

Are Keukenhof Tickets Refundable?

Generally, Keukenhof tickets are non-refundable.

Because tickets are tied to a specific date and time, flexibility is limited. Changes or cancellations are usually not permitted after confirmation.

Select your date carefully before purchasing. If your travel plans are uncertain, wait until your schedule is fixed before booking.

Do Keukenhof Tickets Sell Out?

Yes, Keukenhof tickets can sell out.

High-demand periods include:

• Weekends
• Easter
• Mid-April
• Flower Parade weekend
• Sunny forecast days

Late morning time slots often fill first. Even when a full day is not sold out, certain hours may no longer be available.

Practical Booking Strategy

If visiting during mid-April:
Book 2–3 weeks in advance, especially for weekends. During this period, visitor numbers typically increase due to peak bloom expectations. Therefore, earlier reservations give you more flexibility in choosing your preferred arrival time rather than adjusting to what remains available.

If visiting on a weekday in late March:
Online booking is still recommended, but availability is usually better. Early-season weekdays often offer more time slot options and slightly smoother entry flow. Even so, reserving in advance prevents last-minute limitations.

If driving:
Add your parking ticket during checkout. By securing parking at the same time as your entrance ticket, you align both reservations with your selected visit date. This avoids the risk of securing entry while parking reaches capacity.

If visiting during Flower Parade weekend:
Expect high demand and limited time slots. Because regional events increase overall visitor traffic, time-based entry windows can fill quickly. Booking as early as possible helps secure a manageable arrival time.

If traveling from Amsterdam or Schiphol:
Consider a combi ticket for simplified logistics. Combining transport and entry in one booking reduces coordination between travel schedules and your reserved arrival slot.

Booking in advance reduces uncertainty and gives you a better chance of securing your preferred date and arrival time, especially during peak bloom in April.
