Adorable shop!! If we didn’t only bring carry-ons for our trip, I would have bought a couple of bulbs to plant at home. We didn’t have time for the museum but the shop was cute.
(Included in the Go City Pass from Get your Guide!)
I loved this museum so much! It had a lot of colour, cute paintings and lots of pretty souvenirs (including many types of tulip bulbs). It was well organised and it had a decent amount of seating, and great information displays and interactive activities.

What a delightful museum that provides the history of tulips with six different rooms and two videos explaining the process. There is a lot of great information shared with two unique interactive exhibits.
One can also explore the shop and purchase all sorts of tulip souvenirs

Enjoyed learning about the history and current tulip industry. You can visit the shop for free, but for five euros you can visit the museum. Definitely worth it!
Quaint little tulip museum, if you are interested in flowers. Only €5 to enter, so not a bank buster. Friendly and helpful staff.
It was beautiful. The smell, the knowledge, the souvenirs, and if you are buying flowers or seeds. I really enjoying going in, and looking at the flowers.
I love flowers in general, and Tulip is one of my favorites, so looking at everything Tulip in this shop was good, and very enchanting. Very organized beautiful shop.
You can get good gifts from it.

I am a person who loves museums, and this one was perfect for me. Before visiting, I had seen another tulip history exhibit that just scratched the surface of the story, and it had left me wanting more. Luckily I decided to visit this small museum which presents a big amount of information in a variety of ways in addition to wall text. It is better suited for adults than for young children.
Incidentally, it's a good gift shop, too. Thank you to the clerk who shared her knowledge of bulbs.
