For those of you who love flowers and fun days out, note that tickets have now gone on sale for the annual Carlsbad flower fields season, which runs this year from March 1 until Mother’s Day, May 10. It’s a good idea to buy them in advance, because they do sometimes sell out. There are 48 acres of colorful ranunculus flowers in bloom to visit, plus other activities to enjoy. If you can go during the week, you’ll find it less crowded.
You can buy single adult tickets for $27, with discounts for seniors, military and children. These must be purchased online beforehand. The farm also offers season passes for $57, also with similar discounts, that are good every day the farm is open, and include special parking. Regular parking is free. The farm also offers other events including a sweet pea maze (included with admission), $8 wagon tours, gold sluice mining, wine tasting, crafts, yoga, sound baths and more at additional cost.
The Flower Fields at Carlsbad Ranch are located at 5704 Paseo Del Norte, Carlsbad. Learn more and buy tickets: theflowerfields.com
