Beach Garden<br />

A garden to relax in as if you were on a beach.<br />

The Beach Garden in Keukenhof carries a<br />

tropical atmosphere with brightly coloured<br />

tulips, exotic crown imperials (fritillaria) and<br />

palms contrasted with sand reed (beach marram<br />

grass) to create a summer beach sensation.<br />

Vintage Garden<br />

A walk through the Vintage Garden with its rows<br />

of sturdy plants juxtaposed with an impressive<br />

assortment of flowers will reignite fond memories<br />

from the past. An unusual combination, but it does<br />

create a nostalgic feeling.<br />

Historical Garden<br />

Discover the development of tulip growth and cultivation<br />

in Netherlands through the years at Keukenhof in the<br />

Historical Garden. And, guess who’s telling the stories? The<br />

tulips! It is here where you will find tulip varieties that have<br />

been cultivated for over four centuries.<br />

Travel<br />

Whisper Boat Trips<br />

Tired of walking? Jump into one of the whisper boats<br />

available and cruise along the impressive display of<br />

Keukenhof’s beautiful gardens. Each boat trip lasts<br />

about 45 minutes and will take you through the<br />

beautiful Dutch flower landscape in virtual silence. Just<br />

make sure that you get your camera ready; there are<br />

plenty of photo-worthy sceneries awaiting you. You<br />

can purchase tickets for boat trips on the day of visit at<br />

the mill at Keukenhof.<br />
