This is always a treat if we visit Carlsbad when the flowers are in full bloom. Took advantage of the "tour" on a wagon pulled by a tractor. Loved it! More

We spent the better part of the day at the flower fields then shopping at the outlet mall almost right next door. It was a fun day. Highly recommend this spot for pictures taking. More
