Millions of blooms in a vast array of hues
The park's expansive tulip fields are neatly arranged into broad rows of red, yellow and orange. The effect of being surrounded by all these colors can be quite overwhelming, as though you've just wandered into a van Gogh painting. A small river runs through the park, and there are waterwheels, bridges, and walking paths.
Enjoy all the park has to offer
Among the unique features of the Tulip Park are observation decks offering 360-degree panoramas from above, and an indoor Tulip Gallery, open year-round in case you miss the two-week event.
