Tulip Farm De Tulperij is a family-run flower bulb farm in Voorhout, just outside the flower village of Lisse and about 6 kilometres from Keukenhof Tulip Park. During the tulip season in spring and the dahlia season in late summer, this working nursery welcomes visitors with a free show garden, a pick-your-own flower garden, a cosy greenhouse café and guided tours given by the farmers themselves.
A real working flower farm in the Bollenstreek
De Tulperij is run by the Jansze family – farmer Daan and Anja – who grow tulips, daffodils, hyacinths and dahlias in the heart of the Bollenstreek, the famous flower bulb region between Amsterdam and the North Sea coast. Unlike the big tourist attractions, this is a genuine working nursery: you walk straight onto the farmyard, see the production fields up close, and the people who tell you about the flowers are the growers themselves.
Entrance to De Tulperij is free, including the show garden and the greenhouse with its terrace. You only pay for the flowers you pick, for a photo ticket for the flower field, or for a guided tour.
What can you do at De Tulperij?
Visit the free show garden
In spring the show garden is filled with thousands of tulips in every imaginable shape and colour, from classic red to fringed and peony-flowering varieties. Together with bulb cooperative CNB, the farm has also planted a special daffodil show garden with more than 200 varieties, alongside fragrant hyacinths. It is a great source of inspiration for your own garden, and you can order your favourite bulbs on the spot for delivery in autumn, just in time for planting.
Pick your own bouquet
In the picking garden you put together your own bouquet. Grab a bucket, choose the tulips you like best and pay per stem in the greenhouse, where your flowers are prepared for the journey home and you receive a card with care tips. In late summer the picking garden is filled with dahlias and sunflowers instead. There is no entrance fee for the picking garden.
Take photos in the tulip field
With a photo ticket you can enter the production field of tulips and daffodils for those iconic pictures between the flower rows. You get a generous 45 minutes in the field, and a staff member accompanies you, so you can also ask questions about how tulips are grown. In 2026 a photo ticket costs € 8 for adults and € 6 for children aged 4 to 12. Time slots are limited during peak season, so booking ahead is smart.
Join a guided tour with the farmer
For groups of 12 people or more, Daan or Anja personally tell the story behind the tulip: from planting the bulb to the bloom of the flower, and how the Bollenstreek grew into the world’s flower bulb centre. A tour takes about an hour and is available in Dutch or English. Prices in 2026 are around € 9.95 per adult and € 5.95 per child (4–12). Tours are planned on request.
Greenhouse café and bulb shop
In the greenhouse you can enjoy coffee or tea with homemade cake while looking out over the flower garden, inside or on the terrace. The shop sells souvenirs and flower bulbs: spring bulbs can be ordered for autumn delivery, dahlia tubers are available in spring, and during the dahlia season you can pick and buy all spring bulbs directly in the shop.
Dahlia and sunflower season at De Tulperij
De Tulperij is not only worth visiting in spring. From 1 August to 11 October 2026 the farm celebrates the dahlia season, with a show garden containing more than 600 dahlia varieties, created together with CNB and local growers. The picking garden then overflows with dahlias and sunflowers – including white, dark brown and fluffy teddy sunflowers – and the café serves a special dahlia ice-cream pastry from the local ice-cream maker.
