Frequently Asked Questions

  • How much is admission?
    Admission ranges between $7 and $18 for the day. The price varies by day of the season based on what is happening that day. Click here to see the full rate list. We also offer season passes which are great for flexibility or if you want to come multiple times.
  • How do I purchase a Season Pass?
    First, go to our ticketing webpage. Then, under the "Tickets" section, choose any date and any time slot. These fields just have to be filled up to display all of the ticket and pass types.
  • Are pets allowed?
    Yes, as long as your furry friend(s) is well-socialized and friendly to fellow canines and other humans. Pets must be leashed and owners are responsible for cleaning up.
  • Can I visit multiple days?
    Yes you can! We're offering season passes. This is a great option for photographers or gives you flexibility with the weather.
  • What happens if it rains?
    We hold the festival rain or shine. A little rain changes the look of the flowers and cools the August heat. Plan ahead and bring your rain gear. Tickets cannot be cancelled due to weather.
  • I'm a professional photographer, can I schedule photo shoots?"
    If you have clients we recommend our weekdays as they will be quieter than the festival days. Season passes are great for photographers who would like to bring multiple clients or who want flexibility with their days. You and your clients can purchase tickets on our ticketing page. There is no need to schedule an appointment with our office. Our field covers almost 5 acres and has multiple photo props and many different kinds of flowers. Finding the perfect spot shouldn't be an issue. Please plan to carry your gear to the field. Additional hard-to-move props are not recommended.
  • How long should I plan to stay?
    It's really up to you! If you want to explore the flowers, take lots of pics, try the food, and listen to music you could nearly stay all day. If you just have a few hours you can definitely get the experience. If you're not sure when you want to come try a season pass. You'll have the flexibility to come any time and for as long as you like!
  • Is the venue handicap accessible?
    While we take every effort to ensure all guests can enjoy our sunflower field and festival, the event takes place in a farm field with potentially uneven or soft terrain. The terrain is mostly level but many places in the sunflower field are bare dirt. We offer either handicap parking at the field when available or golf cart rides to the field for those are physically unable to board the wagon or walk. A handicap accessible portable toilet is offered at the festival area.
