Tulip Experience Amsterdam is open from March 20 to May 11, 2025. The rest of the year we are an active bulb company and, for that reason, closed to the public.
A visit typically takes 60 – 75 minutes.
Tulip Experience Amsterdam collaborates with nature as it is dependent on the progress of its tulips’ blooming. This makes it challenging to determine the best time to visit us. We keep you updated on the tulips’ progress using our Instagram page and the blooming update on this website. With 700 varieties, that all flower in phases, there are always tulips blooming in our show garden, indoor tulip show and picking area.
Tulip Experience Amsterdam tends to be quieter before 11:00 and after 16:00. The morning and late afternoon (from 16:00 on) offer the best light for taking stunning photographs.
The majority of Tulip Experience Amsterdam is indoors. And also, bulb growers always work outside so come rain or shine; bring an umbrella and off we go!
Pets are allowed at Tulip Experience Amsterdam if they are on a leash. This refers to small pets, such as dogs or cats. Larger animals (such as horses) are only allowed outside opening hours, for example, for a photoshoot. For options, email us at info@tulipexperienceamsterdam.com.
No, drones are not permitted due to safery measures.
Unlike the fields in the Flower Bulb Region, which are intended for production, you are allowed to enter our specially laid out bulb field (the selfie/show garden). Here you can take the most beautiful photos surrounded by 700 different varieties of tulip.
At Tulip Experience Amsterdam we like to do business sustainably: for example, we do not use plastic and we ask all visitors to visit us by bicycle as much as possible. In addition, the flower bulb nursery grows tulip bulbs with the Planet Proof quality mark, which is also used in vegetable cultivation and has been approved by Greenpeace. This means that we minimize the use of crop protection products and thus enable sustainable bulb cultivation.
Our show garden is entirely organically grown.
The Bloemencorso Bollenstreek takes place on Saturday, April 12 2025. Tulip Experience Amsterdam is accessible that day, but check your route in advance if you plan to visit us that day.
That's unfortunate! Please send an email to: info@tulipexperienceamsterdam.com, and we will promptly check if your lost item has been found.
