Keukenhof in the rain: what to bring

Much of Keukenhof is outdoors, with flower displays in pavilions as an indoor part of your visit. Bring layers, comfortable shoes and a raincoat so a change in weather does not dictate your whole day.

Check the forecast close to your visit

A forecast for Lisse shortly before travelling is more useful than an average spring temperature. Wind, showers and sunshine can all affect how the day feels. The ferry crossing and the wait at your shuttle stop are also part of the outdoor journey.

A small, practical day bag

Our packing suggestions: a waterproof layer, charged phone with your ticket, payment card, water and any personal essentials. Comfortable shoes matter because a park visit involves walking and standing. Keep your entry and return tickets easy to reach.

Mix indoor and outdoor stops

Use a shower for a pavilion visit or a break, then return to the flower park when it suits you. Indoor flower shows do not turn the whole attraction into an indoor day out. Take care on wet paths and leave enough time to reach your return coach.

Changing your date

Weather does not automatically change ticket conditions. Check the cancellation and rescheduling terms of your selected Tiqets product before booking. If you want to move the trip, act within the deadline in your confirmation.
