Visit to Keukenhof

We visited Keukenhof gardens on 11 April 2025. There were close to one million people there (I think). We left Noorjik at 9:15 and it took a full hour until we were inside the park. Noorjik is only a few miles away, but there was heavy traffic and a good walk from the parking lot to the park. There are lots of options for food at the park, i.e. hamburgers, apple pie, strawberries and cream, etc. All priced one euro or so higher than you would find outside of the park, which was a pleasant surprise. I’m still used to paying double or triple the price for anything in the US when its in a premium location, but in The Netherlands the premium seems to be only a euro or two, at the most. A reasonable number of bathrooms, including one at the entrance. The park is not large. It wasn’t too difficult to find a seat when we needed to rest our feet. The Whisper Boat tour was really neat, although I’m not sure why I enjoyed it so much. The Whisper Boat tour is for fields outside of Keukenhof, not inside of Keukenhof. This day was mostly for my wife, but I think that I enjoyed myself almost as much as she did.
