See different flowers: The gardens are quite different during the three flowering periods. This makes it perfect for visitors to come back again at a different time and experience something new. Check the Keukenhof flower report to plan your visit to see the flowers you want.
Bring your own food: There are plenty of restaurants within Keukenhof, but if you want to save your money, you can bring your own food and drinks to the gardens.
Use pavilion timing smartly: Visit indoor flower pavilions around midday, when outdoor paths are busiest and light is harsh for photography.

Choose weekday visits: Tuesdays and Wednesdays are typically calmer than weekends, especially during April peak bloom.
Save upgrades for peak days: Whisper boat rides and guided tours add most value on crowded days, when walking paths are busiest.
