Discover the Magic of the Tulip

Tulip Garden

Experience the Dutch tulip fields with a sea of colours by stepping into our Tulip Heaven!

Enjoy our beautiful tulip garden that features a whopping 4 million tulips (700 different varieties). A unique way to experience the tulip fields in the Netherlands! All the tulips are from our own nursery. 

Capture the ultimate photo amid the array of colours or from the special photo opportunity points, like a windmill, tractor, Dutch clogs, bicycle, photoframe, and more! 

Bloom update: we've now started planting tulips in our show garden! 

Please note: our show garden blooms in different phases and is dependent on nature. However, with 700 varieties in our outdoor show garden, plus our indoor tulip show and indoor picking area, there are always tulips in bloom!

Tulip photos

Tulips have something magical. We understand perfectly well that everyone wants to capture that magic in a photo. However, due to the growing tourism in the Flower Bulb region, the actual tulip fields were increasingly being accessed, resulting in many tulips being destroyed or picked.

That's why we founded Tulip Experience Amsterdam in 2019: a place where you can walk, photograph, and enjoy the tulips without damaging the production fields. In our tulip garden with over 700 tulip varieties, you'll find the perfect spot for that iconic tulip photo.

Tulip museum

Where the history and cultivation process of the tulip flourishes

In our Tulip Museum, we take you on the journey the tulip has made around the world.

From its discovery in Kazakhstan around the year 1000 to its current status as an icon of the Netherlands. You'll learn all about the tulip and interactively explore the cycle of bulb cultivation using new machines and old objects (from before 1950).

Discover the rich history and the fascinating cultivation process of the tulip in our Tulip Museum. Walk around or let our audiotour guide you (available in 11 languages).

Indoor Tulip Picking Area

Pick your own Tulips!

Pick your own tulips? With us, you can! In our indoor tulip picking area, you put together your own bunch of tulips. You'll take home a colorful souvenir (this is included in the ticket price!). Our picking area is covered, making it the perfect time to pick tulips—rain or shine.

The experience is part of your visit to Tulip Experience Amsterdam: first, learn how tulips grow and bloom in our Tulip Museum, stroll through our show garden with over 700 varieties, and finish by picking your own little bouquet in our indoor picking area. You'll go home with a colorful souvenir—and best of all: it's included in the ticket price!
