Join Windmill Island Gardens for the first day of the 2025 season on April 14!
Many visitors to Holland are looking for signs of our Dutch heritage and find examples all throughout town. However, THE place to go to get a taste of our area’s Dutch history and culture is Windmill Island Gardens!
Fortunately, a group of City Fathers in the 1950s and 60s recognized the importance of keeping our heritage alive as well as providing a place where community-members and visitors could gather. They were able to procure the last working windmill allowed to leave the Netherlands in 1964. The historic windmill ‘de Zwaan’ is the highlight of our park and stands amongst 36 acres of exhibits, gardens and natural areas. The mill still turns and grinds grain into flour and a tour up 5 floors is the highlight of any visit to the park.
Admission is $12 for adults and $6 for ages 3 to 15. Holland residents are admitted free of charge with their Holland, MI drivers license with the exception of Tulip Time and special events.
