The Flower Fields at Carlsbad Ranch®
For over sixty years, Mother Nature has transformed the rolling hills of North San Diego County into one of the most spectacular and coordinated displays of natural color and beauty anywhere in the world. The 55-acres of Giant Tecolote Ranunculus flowers that make up The Flower Fields at Carlsbad Ranch® in Carlsbad, California, are in bloom for approximately eight to ten weeks each year – from March 1st through early May – literally bringing the famous fields back to life. This annual burst of color, which has become part of the area’s local heritage, also is one of nature’s official ways of announcing the arrival of spring here in Southern California.
The Flower Fields are an alcohol and tobacco-free environment. Pets, Emotional Support Animals, Drones, Balloons, and Bicycles are also not permitted.
