When is the Best Time to Visit the Tulip Festival?
The best time to visit depends on the experience you're looking for:
- First Week (Opening – Mid Bloom): Ideal for fresh bud picking and fewer crowds.
- Second Week: The most dramatic and colorful display—perfect for photographers!
- Third Week: Enjoy more unique tulips as late varieties are blooming.
For a quieter visit, we recommend coming on weekdays when there are fewer visitors.
How Long Can You Stay at the Festival?
Once you enter during your booked time slot, you’re free to stay as long as you like until closing time. On average, most guests spend around two hours enjoying the tulip fields, taking photos, shopping, and participating in activities.
Do You Need to Buy Tickets in Advance?
Tickets must be purchased in advance. Since weekends tend to sell out, we highly recommend buying your ticket ahead of time to avoid any disappointment. Tickets at the gate will be more expensive than online.

What If It Rains on the Day of My Visit?
The festival operates rain or shine, and the tulips look beautiful even in the rain! However, if you’d prefer to visit on a different day, tickets can be exchanged up to 48 hours before your scheduled time by emailing us at support@info.tascllc.com
Are Strollers and Wheelchairs Allowed?
Yes, strollers and wheelchairs are welcome, though conditions depend on the weather. On dry days, the farm is easy to navigate. However, after rain, the clay ground can be muddy, so a baby backpack may be a better alternative for young children.
