Keukenhof Pavilions

Indoor flower shows at Keukenhof 2022

 When visiting Keukenhof, a visit to one of the pavilions is a must! In these pavilions, you can enjoy a beautiful flower show. But don't know which one to visit first? We list the three best Keukenhof pavilions!

 Tip from us: Rainy days with dark clouds are more common than you think in the Netherlands. Because the pavilions are indoors, you can also visit Keukenhof during rainy days. Combine it with a visit to a tulip farm! For questions about a customized tour or other tours on the website, please feel free to contact us.

 The theme of Keukenhof in 2022 is ‘Flower Classics’. This is reflected in the various shows, inside the pavilions. Each breeder or grower (as many as 500!) is invited to take part in these exhibitions including a VKC (the permanent judging committee) quality competition. These flower shows address a wide audience, from consumers to industry peers and serve as an important platform for the exchange of ideas and research findings. In the four pavilions, breeders, growers, buyers, and consumers, will not only find the most beautiful varieties but also the latest breeding breakthroughs.
