Open daily 08:00–19:30 during the 8-week spring season — and completely closed for the rest of the year. The 2026 season runs 21 March – 12 May.

Keukenhof is unusual — it opens for just eight weeks a year, from 21 March to 12 May 2026, then closes completely. During the season it's open every day from 08:00 to 19:30. See our best time to visit page for which week to pick, and the visitors guide for what to do once you arrive.
