Amazing little town packed with so much history and more importantly, civic pride!! I’ve been to the festival in Holland, Michigan so I enjoyed your tour of Pella.

[@LukeGeeTravels]

Thank you Bob! I do think Holland, Michigan was a much bigger town with much more to see but Pella is incredibly charming with large quantity of tulips to enjoy! Thank you for watching!

I remember going to Tulip Time as a child. My Grandparents were born & raised there . VanRyswyk & VanDerSyde. I STILL SEND BACK FOR JAARSMA DUTCH LETTER'S & WINDMILL COOKIES !❤❤❤CLARE MCKIM ,🌷🌷🌷I'M 83 NOW. 😊

[@LukeGeeTravels]

Those names definitely sound dutch! And yes! The Jaarsma bakery has sooo many great choices but the S letters are the best? Thank you so much for watching!

[@claremckim8591]

What great Treat to stop by & see some PELLA HIGHLIGHTS. DUTCH TREASURE!

[@LukeGeeTravels]

It really is! Many people are shocked to learn about a Dutch town in the MIDDLE of IOWA!

[@AdrieRuth]

My grandparents live in this town. I love going to tulip time every year!

[@LukeGeeTravels]

How cool! It’s really pretty and lots of friendly locals. Do you also go to Jarsmaa bakery??

Thank you from Holland, Michigan 🌷🌿🌷🌿🌷🌿🌷🌷🌿🌷🌿🌷☘️🌷🌿🌷🌿🌷

[@LukeGeeTravels]

Two amazing places to visit tulips! Felt like being in the Netherlands 🇳🇱

[@AdrieRuth]

I love Dutch fix and the Jaarsma bakery

[@LukeGeeTravels]

Yes! The famous S shaped letters are a MUST!

[@DougFresh]

So when is a good time ...I dont want to miss the flowers .. go in the next 2 weeks ok ?

[@LukeGeeTravels]

That would be ideal! The festival itself is the weekend or May 2nd. If you want to avoid the huge crowds you can go the week before. Tulips have a very short life - about 2 weeks - but if you go in the next two weeks you should see them in bloom!

[@DougFresh]

@@LukeGeeTravels All right cool thanks for the info It's what I thought

[@LukeGeeTravels]

@@DougFresh you’re welcome, enjoy

Hi - did you have to pay or pay a ticket to browse around?

[@LukeGeeTravels]

The Historical village behind Vermeer Windmill you mean? Yes - it’s a $20 adult entrance fee. The ticket includes both a guided windmill tour and access to the village
