Please recommend a good area to watch the parade? A place with seats (grandstands) would be helpful.
Shall we visit Keukenof gardens a different day?
Are there tours and transportation available from Amsterdam?

We are staying in Haarlem instead of Amsterdam. The Flower Parade ends in Haarlem that Saturday, and the floats are on display the next day, Sunday, in Haarlem. The week before you can view the workshops building the floats.
The tulip fields have their own website for up-to- date info.
We are so looking forward to this experience! Good luck!

We stayed in Haarlem in 2017 and went to the Sunday float viewing. Almost a modest street party, with stuff for kids and some foods.
Information for Keukenhof, including advance purchase tickets: https://keukenhof.nl/en/
And the parade website (for this past spring) including route information: https://bloemencorso-bollenstreek.nl/en/

The parade ends in Haarlem on a very late Saturday night. We visited the floats on Sunday as they are on display in downtown Haarlem. Yes, you should visit Keukenhof on a different day.
