A palette of color awaits you as you wind along the entrance to Holland's treasured island. Tour five stories of the DeZwaan windmill, the only authentic Dutch windmill operating in the United States. From the top, you can survey the park's 36 acres of manicured gardens and natural areas. Costumed guides, an Amsterdam street organ, a hand-painted Dutch carousel, several Dutch exhibits and replicas, and a gift shop stocked with Dutch goodies and local souvenirs will complete your visit. Known for thousands of tulips each spring, the gardens are replanted with annuals and feature a dazzling display all season long. Open from Mid-April to mid-October; see Windmill Island Garden's website for exact dates.
