Carlsbad Flower Fields Opening Soon in Carlsbad California in 2015

 Carlsbad Flower Fields Opening Soon in Carlsbad California in 2015

The famed Flower Fields in Carlsbad CA will be opening on March 1, although it’s a bit early to see how beautiful the fields will be this year.

The Flower fields are a very popular Carlsbad tourist attraction and have been for 60+ years, with 50 acres of extraordinary color that seem to get better and better. It’s fascinating to watch the transformation of the brown dirt hillside to green to the vibrant colors of the Ranunculas, and then back again each year.

The Carlsbad Flower Fields are only open for a couple of months annually, and in 2015 will remain open until May 10. It’s an opportunity to see an amazing collection of flowers on a hillside overlooking the ocean, as well as other floral displays.

Here’s a hint of what you will see and experience at The Flower Fields:

·        There is a large rose garden with over 170 varieties of roses plus a miniature rose garden. Group tours are available

·        Orchid greenhouse

·        Sweet pea maze

·        Attend special events like Zydeco Day, Blue Day, and the special Mother’s Day Celebration on Closing Day, May 10^th

·        School tours and programs

·        An American Flag of flowers blooming on the south side of the fields

·        Gardening workshops

You’ll enjoy walking through the fields or hop on for an antique tractor wagon ride to really appreciate the beauty of The Flower Fields.

The Carlsbad Flower Fields are readily visible from the I-5 Freeway and are easy to spot looking eastward, at the Palomar Road Exit at 5704 Paseo del Norte (look for the windmill) adjacent to the Carlsbad Premium Outlets Mall.

The best vantage point, in my opinion (AND IT’S FREE!!), is looking down on the fields from Armada Drive, with the Carlsbad windmill and 180 degree views of the ocean (off Palomar Airport Road just to the east or from Cannon to the South). See the VIDEO below.

You can purchase tickets on the Flower Fields website.
