Huis Ten Bosch

Throughout the year, Huis Ten Bosch hosts a wide range of events, including a tulip festival in the spring, a rose festival in the summer, a hydrangea festival in the rainy season, a winter illumination festival, and spectacular fireworks shows.

In addition to the attractions and events, Huis Ten Bosch also offers a variety of accommodation options, with several themed hotels within the park. Guests can choose to stay in a traditional Dutch-style hotel or a more modern hotel with luxurious amenities.
