You can purchase your tickets in advance, but we just bought them when we arrived. It’s $5 per person (Monday-Friday) but there’s a max of $20 per car. On Saturdays and Sundays is $6 per person and a max of $30 per car. A seasonal pass is available for $60.

There are also several other options to purchase bulk tickets for tour buses, vans, and schoolbuses.

The tulip fields are massive and extensive. If you love flowers, I would plan to spend at least an house walking through the various sections. It can get pretty muddy so bring a pair of shoes you don’t mind getting dirty.

There are hundreds of tulip varieties on the property and each one has a little label to tell you exactly which variety it is. This is especially helpful for those of you who want to order tulip bulbs on-site and need to know what your favorite flower is called.

Purchasing Tulips

The best time to visit if you want to see the most tulips in bloom is during the first few weeks of April. It’s hard to know exactly when the best time is but this is an estimate from the Tulip Festival’s website.

If you want to purchase fresh cut flowers, you can visit a tent near the tulip fields and choose from whatever is available that day. 

Flower Pricing
$5.00 per bouquet (10 stems)
5 bouquets – $20.00 ($4.00 ea)
20 bouquets assorted colors (we choose) – $70.00
20 bouquets custom box (you choose) – $75
