Easter weekend at Keukenhof Gardens
April 3 @ 8:00 am – April 6 @ 7:00 pm
Easter 2026 arrives early, bringing the first burst of spring colours to Keukenhof Gardens. Although the famous tulip fields have not yet reached peak bloom, the park will already shine with daffodils, hyacinths and early tulips. Add to that the festive visit of the Easter Bunny and the joyful spring vibe — and you have the perfect start to the flower season.
Easter weekend is always a busy time at Keukenhof, even before the tulips reach full bloom. To make the most of your visit, it’s best to book your tickets in advance and enjoy the colourful displays and cheerful Easter activities. Book your tickets early to secure your visit.

Easter weekend in 2026 falls early, from April 3 to 6 — right when the Dutch flower fields begin to burst into color. Visitors can expect a vibrant landscape filled with blooming daffodils, fragrant hyacinths, and the season’s first tulips.
