At the southern corner of the park and not far from the main entrance is the Irene Pavilion. This is a lively area with a a traditional Dutch street organ, a water fountain and outdoor cafe.
A short walk away is the Juliana pavilion which hosts floral displays and an exhibition.
Oranje Nassau Pavilion
The large Oranje-Naasau pavilion and its landscaped gardens were opened in 1999 for Keukenhof’s 50th jubilee year. Named after the Dutch royal house, the pavilion has a large array of stylish floral displays including roses, chrysanthemums and daffodils.
Willem-Alexander Pavilion
The Willem-Alexander pavilion is the largest pavilion at Keukenhof located in the heart of the park. As can be seen on the map, it is surrounded by water on 3 sides.
Named after the current Dutch king, it is essentially a large greenhouse with brickwork walls. Inside you can find lots of tulip varieties on show – which have been kept warm during the cold Dutch winter.
Beatrix Pavilion
The Beatrix Pavilion (named after former Queen Beatrix) is located at the northernmost corner of the park. For 2026 it has been covnerted into a restaurant area.
Windmill area
On the right-hand (northern edge) of the park is found Keukenhof’s picturesque windmill (Keukenhofmolen).
The former pumping mill dates from 1892 and was built in the Dutch city of Groningen. In 1957 it was purchased by Holland America Line and donated to Keukenhof.
This area also has the whisper boat rides and panoramic views of the adjacent flower fields.
Wilhelmina Pavilion & the Lake
The lake is one of the most popular attractions at Keukenhof and spans between the Willem-Alexander and Wilhelmina pavilions. It offers a stunning backdrop to the outdoor flower displays.
Check-out the fountain, the stepping stones and the former Keukenhof entrance.
