How big is Tulip Top Gardens?

Tulip Top Gardens is a beautifully maintained four-hectare landscape, featuring bulbs, blossoms, and trees, is a year-round labor of love, lovingly cared for by only three dedicated gardeners in this proudly family-operated venture.

Best Photo Spots

As you enter through the gate and follow the path, you’ll reach the heart of the tulip garden – the first sight is stunning

If you head to the right, you’ll find a row of cherry blossom trees (not entirely sure if they are cherry blossoms). Stand in front of the pink tulips with the path leading behind them – it makes for an outstanding shot.

This park has many pink tulips, and they are incredibly gentle-looking! The paths are quite wide, and although there are people around, it’s much easier to get good photos compared to the tulip exhibitions in the city.

It’s recommended to visit later in the day; the 4 pm lighting is softer and more natural, avoiding the harsh midday sun that can make people look dark in photos.
