The Flower Fields - Tourist attraction in Carlsbad - 5704 Paseo Del Norte, USA

We make a bi-annual trip to Carlsbad to visit the Flower Fields. Ranunculus are everywhere in many colors. Food Carts are available as well as a large gift shop. Plan on 3 to 4 hours to walk the entire complex. They do have trams available for those with mobility issues. Well worth the trip.

I love the Flower Field. I always like to take my professional camera with me to the Flower Field to take pictures. Pictures don’t do justice for what the field looks like when you are actually there. This is my second time here. It can get crowded around noon. There are food trucks for snacks and lunch. The flowers are very pretty, and the view is amazing

We usually buy season passes and love to watch the season progress. Early to mid April the fields are in full bloom and it is breathtaking. There are picnic tables up top to enjoy and take in the view. It also provides a beautiful backdrop for photos!

The flower fields are truly a sight to behold. While our visit was during mid-March when the flowers were not fully bloomed yet, we still had a wonderful experience. The fields were picturesque, and the vibrant colors of the flowers added a touch of beauty to the surroundings. One aspect that made the visit even more enjoyable, especially for the kids, was the scavenger hunt. It added an element of excitement and exploration to the trip. It engaged their curiosity as we searched for hidden treasures amidst the flowers. The hunt made the visit interactive and kept them entertained throughout the experience. Although the flowers were not in full bloom during our visit, I could still appreciate the charm and potential of the fields, I can only imagine how breathtaking it would be to witness the fields in their full glory later in the season. Nonetheless, the partially bloomed flowers still created a lovely ambiance and provided a memorable experience. Overall, I highly recommend visiting this place. The beauty of the surroundings, combined with the fun scavenger hunt, made it a worthwhile experience for both adults and children alike. It's an ideal destination to immerse yourself in nature's beauty and create lasting memories with your family. #LetsGuide

Beautiful place, with all the magnificent scenery of flower fields. You will get to know great knowledge about some flowers and plants. Take advise of best plantations there is a wide selection to buy as well. Fun place for all ages. Catering, restrooms and assistance available all day long. Better to visit from mid march till may. If you mind the heat better to select time before 11 am or after 2.30pm

I took a date here in mid-April. Unfortunately, the Sunflower field was not in bloom as advertised on their website. The flower fields were definitely beautiful, but a lot of the same thing for miles. We took the tractor ride, which was nice. However, the driver hit the side of the ramp, and honestly, it was kind of dangerous and shook the entire cart. Was also really close to running into multiple people walking... The food here was really pricy, and so were most of the items in the gift shop. Outside, a lot of the displays were very beautiful, but not much to do, and some things were closed down.. this would be a great place to take younger kids as there are more activities for children than adults. Overall, it was not what I expected, but I am glad that we went at least once. I may come back a second time eventually, but probably not more than that. I really think with the cost of this place, it could use a little TLC and needs some updates. Maybe bringing in a new attraction would help breathe some life into this place that is lacking.

Really lovely stop for anyone who loves flowers. It’s nice to see so many in so many different colors. You can’t walk through the fields. But they have cutouts you can take photos in. Entrance is $22, tractor ride is $8 [and it’s helpful if you have a disability as the fields are *enormous*]. So not a CHEAP outing. But a very pretty one. I was alone when I visited at the end of March 2023 and only 1/4 of the fields were fully in bloom. But it seems great for families or people with kids, couples and groups of friends. I wish I’d had a friend with me. Lots of options for food to eat, things to do with kids and ample parking; all in a complex that’s sandwiched between the fields and the parking lot. It’s sort of long and narrow. So be prepared to walk long distances. But in that area, lots of places to rest for a while. Not a lot of shade once you’re in the flower fields themselves, and the sun really bakes the fields, so wear sunscreen and/or a hat.

Beautiful place to visit, make sure to catch the flower fields in the Spring, when they are in full bloom. Lots of different areas to take pictures, as there are designated dugouts where you can stand in the flowers to pose. Would recommend as a tourist place for both newcomers and San Diegans alike. Only thing is that you have to buy tickets in advance online, which may be hard for some, so make sure to purchase in advance. Other than that, they offer a variety of activities, like tractor rides or gem fishing. Orchid arboretum was beautiful as well. Not sure if I would return again, as it is more of a one time visit, but I would recommend the experience to others!
