Beautiful in the spring, when all the tulips are in bloom; but pleasant and relaxing all year round... and the sculptures are changed every few months, so worth visiting several times each year to see what's new

Huuge and lovely, 19 for adults, free for under 18 yo, special exhibition extra money unfortunately xc. It's marvellous building with nice gardens open for free and anyone. Lot of older art, only one small floor with modern but still very interesting, some good gems but not a lot. Still worth visiting even if just for the architecture and lovely restaurant
If you use a side entrance you are able to enjoy the gardens on both sides of the museum. There are no accessibility signs, you have to ask directions. Beautiful art, and romantic corridors to enjoy. The game of chess is not accessible.
One of the interesting things to see at the Rijksmuseum is a gated garden area (free admission), located in the front of the museum, just to the right of the Iamsterdam Letters. The garden is open daily from 9am to 6pm. This is a nice outdoor area and a good place to grab a seat and rest your feet after beating the floors of the Rijksmuseum. During my recent mid-October visit, I found the beds to have plenty of attractive plants and flowers to see. There are sculptures and busts embedded into a row of hedges, a small artificial pond and small greenhouse that you can peer into. There is a playful fountain called 'Hide and Seek' with centre standing room encompassed by water spouts which form a circular fountain. It was enjoyable watching children enter the circle, awaiting the water bursts to begin, forming a temporary wall of water around them. This is a fun activity for children and something enjoyable to see as a curious bystander. The Rijksmuseum Garden is a surprisingly tranquil place in the bustling museum square. There is no cost to enter so you can enjoy even if you don't intend to spend time inside the main museum building viewing the artworks.
It is a small and quiet garden. In my opinion there is nothing special about it.
