Tulip Express

Our first stop on the Tulip Express will take us to the Clara Maria Farm, where the age-old tradition of cheese production and wooden shoe making will be brought to life by the van Wees Family. After a traditional Dutch breakfast provided by the farm host and hostess (included), experience the Dutch tradition of making cheese, with a demonstration that shows, start to finish, how the cheese is made, followed by tasty samples! After shopping opportunities for traditional Dutch wares, we continue on to the Keukenhof Spring Gardens (entrance fee included).

The park displays millions of perennial bulbs and lilies throughout many outdoor landscapes and indoor pavilions, all showcasing different and inspirational displays based on a new theme each year. This year’s theme will be “Flower Power” showing the strength of Flowers, bright colors, hippies as well as peace and music, all fresh and inspiring. At the Keukenhof Flower Garden every year people from all over the world connect with their love for Flowers. The masterpiece will be a giant flower mosaic made of 50,000 bulbs, planted in two layers to extend blooming throughout spring’s entireness. Explore the canals, functioning windmill and indoor pavilions highlighting various grower competitions. See the beautiful landscapes from water level in a whisper boat ride (not included) on the shallow water routes that weave through the park. Ample free time affords opportunities to enjoy lunch (not included), your own picnic brought from home and souvenir shopping at some of the many locations within the park.
