It was such an enjoyable experience for me, my husband, and our two kids to just walk around and enjoy the beauty of the flowers and the scenery in the gardens in general. And the food trucks and concessions were a great surprise!

Thanksgiving Point Guest
We have been going to the Tulip Festival for over a decade now. My mom is from the Netherlands and we love the tulips and Dutch representation at the festival. It has become a family tradition. We love everything about the festival- from the flowers and wooden shoe hunt to the vendors and game area. We just love it!
