it was easy to use the app on my cellphone to purchase tickets. However when we presented those tickets on my cellphone, we were told to return to info desk. We had already had our tickets on display when we ask a separate question at thar desk. No one pointed out that their was another step to be taken at that location before we walked ahead. The person at the gate took care of it, but it was a bit confusing. BUT- a small price to pay for an amazing display of tulips and other plants. It was well worth the mix up.

We loved the historic building, we wanted to feel the history and to learn how a king lived in his hay day. The staff are so helpful, my wife walks with a walking stick. We were approached by member of staff and offered a wheelchair to help my wife get around. We loved the colours and the artistic life. The gardens are a must see. Simply Educational.
