Its the most wonderful time of the year for the city of Holland and those visiting. The 96th annual Tulip Time Festival kicked off on Friday, May 2. The 10-day flower fest will run through Sunday, May 11.

Historic walking tours will be offered every day of the festival starting at 8:30 a.m. at Window at the Waterfront. Tickets are $35 and include a costumed local guide to see historic sites, tulip beds and local sites. Tours last around an hour and 15 minutes.

The remaining question, then, is: Where's the best place to see the tulips? The truth is, there really are no bad spots. But the answer for the best, according to a poll of our readership, is pretty straightforward.
