ARE KEUKENHOF TICKETS CHEAPER ONLINE?

If you’re planning a Keukenhof day trip in spring 2026, here’s the simple answer: Yes, Keukenhof tickets are cheaper online. And not just a tiny bit: the difference can add up fast, especially if you’re visiting with kids or arriving by car.

Online vs. ticket office: the official 2026 prices

Keukenhof publishes different prices for online tickets and tickets bought at the entrance (ticket office/kassa).

Adults (18+)

• €21 online

• €25 at the ticket office

Children (4–17)

• €10 online

• €14 at the ticket office

Children (0–3)

• Free

Don’t forget parking: it’s also cheaper online

If you’re coming by car, this is the “hidden” cost many people miss. Parking is €9 online and €14 on site (ticket office).

How much can you save?

Here’s what the price difference looks like in real life:

• 1 adult: save €4 by booking online (€21 vs €25)

• 1 child (4–17): save €4 (€10 vs €14)

• Car parking: save €5 (€9 vs €14)

Example: 2 adults + 2 kids + parking

• Online: (2×€21) + (2×€10) + €9 = €71

• Ticket office/on-site: (2×€25) + (2×€14) + €14 = €92
  That’s €21 saved—enough for snacks, stroopwafels, or a little souvenir.

Why booking online is the smart move (besides price)

Keukenhof tickets are tied to a fixed date + arrival time slot. Buying online gives you the best chance of getting the day and time you want—especially in April, when it can sell out.

Keukenhof itself recommends buying online for the best rate and to avoid disappointment.

Quick tips for booking (so you don’t overpay)

• If you can, book online (tickets + parking if needed).

• Aim for weekday mornings or later afternoons for a calmer visit (and nicer photos).

• If you’re visiting in peak season (often mid–late April), book earlier than you think you need.

Can you still buy tickets at the entrance?
Yes, but it’s more expensive, and availability can be limited on busy days.

Do I need a time slot even if I buy online?
