I was very disappointed to find the flower fields lay between an outlet mall and an office complex. I remember seeing pics of it off the coast. Well, I discovered they moved! We were waiting for dinner at the Cheesecake Factory when someone pointed out the flower fields lying across an incline just above the mall. Needless to say, we... More

We visited the flower fields on the very last day of the season: May 12th, mother's day... Normally the entrance fee was 11 dollars for adults, but on that day it was 6 dollars since it was a special occasion and since most flowers had died away. We passed by the fields on the 1st of May and it looked... More

So beautiful. You don't feel like you are out in the country but it is close to the beach and something to see. Be sure to stop for strawberries at the stand right below it. They are some of the best I've had.

Almost missed this because we had so many other things on our itinerary but managed to squeeze a visit in on our last day in Carlsbad before heading to the airport. Absolutely beautiful!

The flower fields produced a memorable afternoon and some fantastic picture opportunities. It is a rare occasion when you find yourself surrounded by beautiful reannaculas for miles in every direction. Wow!

If you love flowers, the Calsbad Flower fields might be the stop for you. Took my mother there, and she absolutely loved it; she has talked about nothing else. It seemed like most of the visitors there had come to take pictures of their friends and family amidst the flowers. The various gardens near the entrance also feature beautiful beds... More

I took my mom to the flower fields several times. This place now holds a special place to my heart. Highly recommend just for the beauty.

Ride the tractor pulled wagon, especially if you have young kids/grandkids --or older folks who don't want to walk alot. Hop out for a few photos - they have thoughtfully created some marked areas into the fields so you can be in the midst of the vibrant flowers - please don't just walk out in the rows like some rude,...

Every year I look forward to visiting the Flower Fields in Carlsbad. The colors of the Ranunculus amaze me! I take dozens of pictures, but just can't seem to capture the beauty the eye can see. I also enjoy the garden displays. I have read a few reviews that were not very favorable. This is not an amusement park. If... More

What a beautiful way to spend an afternoon at the FLOWER FIELDS in Carlsbad, CA. A spectacular field of flowers, mostly ranunculus, but there is also a rose garden, in an array of bright colors. The view is breathtaking. You will not be disappointed from the minute you enter and gaze upon this feast for the eyes. There is a... More
