Greer's OC

For over sixty years, Mother Nature has transformed the rolling hills of North San Diego County into one of the country’s most spectacular and coordinated displays of natural color and beauty. The fifty acres of Giant Tecolote Ranunculus, a flower renowned for its large, double-petaled blooms that sit atop tall, straight stems, come to life again at The Flower Fields in Carlsbad.

The Southern California attraction’s 2023 theme of “Live Colorfully” is fitting as the seemingly endless rows of color-coordinated blooms create a strikingly beautiful backdrop that immerses visitors in floral splendor.  

For the 2023 season, The Flower Fields is thrilled to introduce new events like the Meditation and Sound Healing Workshop, a Flower Design Workshop, and Toddler and Me Yoga Story Time themed around plants and flora. Flower frolickers and annual visitors will be greeted by the return of fan-favorite programming like the live outdoor music series, Tea in the Garden, and Flower Flow Yoga among other experiences like the American Flag of Flowers, Tractor Wagon Ride, Artist Gardens, a Sweet Pea Maze and Cymbidium Orchid Greenhouse. 

Special events will also be sprinkled throughout the season, from Kid’s Day on March 25 to a Canon Photography Workshop on April 16 with the season capped off with its iconic Mother’s Day Celebration on May 14.  

Single ticket admission is $23 for adults, $21 for seniors 60+ and military, $12 for children 3–10, and free for children under three. Season passes are $48 for adults, $44 for seniors 60+, $24 for children 3–10, with group tours also available. Private events are available to book year-round, including corporate groups and weddings. Advanced tickets are available for purchase by visiting theflowerfields.com. 

The Flower Fields at Carlsbad Ranch are located at 5704 Paseo Del Norte, Carlsbad.
