Frequently Asked Questions

This ticket grants a child direct entry to the botanical gardens and the Clusius Garden, bypassing the standard admission queues. It does not include guided tours or access to special temporary exhibitions that require a separate fee.

Most families spend between 1.5 to 2 hours walking through the outdoor gardens and the tropical greenhouses. You can stay as long as you like until the garden closes on the day of your visit.

Children can explore the historic Clusius Garden, the large tropical greenhouse with its canopy walkway, and the Japanese Siebold Memorial Museum garden. The grounds feature a wide variety of global plant species, ancient trees, and educational signage.

You can take a direct train from The Hague Central to Leiden Central, which takes about 15 minutes, followed by a 15-minute walk to the garden entrance at Rapenburg 73.

This child ticket is valid for visitors aged 4 to 12 years old. Children aged 3 and under enter for free and do not require a ticket, while those 13 and older must purchase an adult or student ticket.

Arriving right at opening time, typically 9:00 AM or 10:00 AM depending on the season, offers the quietest experience. Weekday mornings outside of Dutch school holidays are generally the least crowded.
