Do any of the tulip spots charge entry?

Displays in streets, squares and parks cost nothing. A few museum gardens on the list charge their normal admission.

How do we find the displays?

The festival publishes a locations map on its website each spring, and the spots change from year to year. Past editions have included the Rijksmuseum gardens, NEMO Science Museum and floating tulip rafts on the Vondelpark pond.

Is it worth going on a rainy day?

Every display is outdoors, with no indoor part. On a wet April day, pick a few spots near a museum and split the outing.

About

Every spring, Tulp Festival fills Amsterdam's public spaces with hundreds of thousands of tulips: planters on bridges and squares, beds in parks, displays in museum and hotel gardens. Its motto is "a tulip for every Amsterdammer", and the spots change each year. Kids can hunt for the displays by bike or on foot. It suits families already in town; for flower fields, head to the bulb region.
