Hurried to this website for tickets and it looks like the combo bus/park tickets do not go on sale until mid-November…..??? Has anyone else seen this? Seeing how one of the main reasons we are taking this trip is to see these tulips this sends me into a tailspin…..makes me think just to make sure I get us in that i should get 2 tickets for April 2025 and worry about the transportation there later….anyone else had this panic trying to make certain they get these tickets? We are staying in Leiden.

There is absolutely no need to worry about tickets for the Keukenhof right now. Tickets for the Keukenhof rarely sell out and when they do it’s days in advance not 7 months in advance. If you want to travel to the Keukenhof by public transport, the most practical thing would be to wait until the combi-tickets are released. That way, your bus time aligns with your entry into the Keukenhof.
If you’re really anxious, you can of course book your tickets now. However there really is no need for it.

We purchased our combo tickets in January , and also reserved the bikes at the same time. No reason to worry now. The bus leaves from the Leiden train station. Altho timed tickets, they never seemed to look at the time, just zapped the tickets before we boarded the bus. Enjoy!

If you are that panicked about tickets, then just buy the entrance tickets now. But I wouldn't worry unless you are visiting over Easter, or a weekend.

when I go to the Keukenhof I buy them on the day. That way I can know what weather to expect. One year, maybe 2019, we drove towards the Keukenhof when the skies opened and we detoured into the motorway services just south of Schiphol Airport and had a meal at the La Place on the bridge over the highway. Our intention was to turn around and head back to Utrecht. Just finishing lunch the skies cleared, blue sky. Back in the car and over to the Keukenhof, and had a really good time.
I don't think I'd get them this far out.
Leiden is a good choice, on many levels.
