The Keukenhof features a variety of different gardens and garden styles. For example, the English landscape garden features winding paths and unexpected see-through points (designed by Zocher in 1830, the garden architect of the Vondelpark in Amsterdam, among others). The historical garden is an enclosed garden where you can see many old types of bulbs. The nature garden consists of a water garden where shrubs and perennials are combined with bulbous plants. The Japanese country garden is a non-traditional garden in a natural environment.[5]
The Keukenhof doesn't contain the long fields of tulips many visitors expect. However, there are tulip fields outside the Garden (mostly privately owned). These fields may have restricted access and are not included as part of the Keukenhof ticket.
Opening times[edit]
Keukenhof is scheduled to be open from 23 March to 21 May 2017.[6] The Flower Parade will be held on Saturday, 22 April 2017.[6]
The grounds of Castle Keukenhof[7] are open all year long and are frequently used for festivals such as Castlefest, the Ladies Winternight,[8] and the Christmas Fair.[9] The castle also houses classical music performances.
