San Diego Best Attractions

The Carlsbad Flower Fields or “The Flower Fields® at Carlsbad Ranch” is an amazing place with almost 50 acres of colorful flowers blooming. The view from the top of the hill with the colors of the flowers and the ocean in the background is breathtaking.

They are in a full bloom for approximately six to eight weeks each year – from early March through early May. I would recommend you call and make sure the flowers are all in bloom before you go, if possible.

You can walk around on your own or there are group tours available for an additional fee. You can take a wagon tour around the gardens so you don’t get too tired.
