Access Roads to Keukenhof Parking
Expect Traffic
The roads to the park are narrow, and often congested.
I hear on the traffic reports on the radio during tulips season all the time:
Traffic delays on the roads towards Keukenhof.
Expect delays of at least 30 minutes.
60 minutes on the most busy days, especially when locals visit.
Locals visit mainly on the weekend and public holidays.
Tourists usually arrive by bus.
So your main concern is locals.
Consider a Tour Instead
I recommend traveling on a tour that includes transportation and entrance.
It’s just so easy, you don’t have to drive, and the hassle with time slots is also taken care of.
You might think “I don’t want to be stuck with limited time at the park (which is usually the case on tour)”.
But some tours allow for a flexible return time.
Best of both worlds.
Busses also have a separate access road, thus those problems motorists have, won’t be yours.

Frequently Asked Questions Keukenhof Parking
Can I reserve a specific parking spot at Keukenhof?
No, specific spots cannot be reserved. However, booking a parking ticket online guarantees you a space in the parking area for your chosen date.
Is there a shuttle service from the parking lot to the entrance?
The parking areas are directly adjacent to the entrance, so no shuttle service is necessary. It’s a short walk to the main gate. Handicap parking is located direct in front of the entrance building.
What payment methods are accepted for parking?
Credit cards and cash are accepted on-site, I recommend to book online in advance while you book you entry tickets. You avoid the wait at the payment desks or machines. It is a lot more convenient to book ahead of time.
Are there charging stations for electric vehicles?
Yes, there are several EV charging points available in the parking area. These operate on a first-come, first-served basis. I would not count on it. Thankfully there are plenty of fast charging stations all around the country. Charging your electric car in The Netherlands is not a problem.
What happens if the parking lot is full when I arrive?
I have never seen this happen. Especially, now visits are time slotted. But on extremely busy days, overflow parking areas are available nearby. Staff will direct you to these alternatives if needed.
