Carlsbad Flower Fields

This annual burst of color at the Flower Fields in Carlsbad is a favorite sight for locals in San Diego North County, welcoming the arrival of spring here in Southern California. The flowers are arranged in spectacular displays, such as a large American flag or a quilt of spring colors. You can view them from the road for free, or pay to take a walking tour for a close view. Be sure to bring your camera to get some great photos. A gift shop is available to purchase fresh cut flowers, bulbs and potted plants.

The best time to visit depends on the rain and bloom, but since they stagger planting some fields, so there is always a good show.

Also consider visiting during one of the Flower Field special events, but come early to beat the crowds! Advance online ticket purchase required.

Most of the flowers are Tecolote Giant Ranunculus, a buttercup flower, planted in rows based upon the color. There are also fields of sunflowers and even blueberries that you can pick.
