THE FIELDS

Eight acres of sunflowers and photo spots

The Sunflower Expo showcases many different sunflower varieties across eight acres, arranged with plentiful spots for photography and the option to purchase freshly cut stems to bring home.

THE RIDE

Tram access to the field

A tram carries visitors to and from the flower field on a repeating schedule, making the expo easy to reach without a long walk across the rows.

THE FAMILY FUN

Corn maze, petting zoo and bale pyramid

Beyond the blooms, the Combo Pass opens access to a corn maze, a petting zoo and a bale pyramid, plus light snacks and beverages at on-site concessions, rounding this out as a full‑day family destination.

What the day feels like

What the visit feels like

Arrive to a pastoral field of sunflowers, join the tram for the short ride into the planted acres, and wander lanes of blooms punctuated by curated photo spots. Families can tack the maze and petting zoo onto the day—if you have the Combo Pass, plan to do the maze first and save the Sunflower Expo for last so you don’t have to carry cut flowers through the attractions.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this visit suits best — and who should adjust expectations.

Families with kidsWell suited: the Combo Pass bundles the maze, petting zoo and bale pyramid for a full day of kid‑friendly activities; children ages 3 and under enter free.
2
PhotographersIdeal for photographers seeking floral variety and golden‑hour shots—arrive well before sunset for the best light and time in the field.

Couples and casual visitorsA relaxed afternoon option: tram access reduces walking, and concessions let you linger; consider arriving 1.5–2.5 hours before sunset if you want time for photos and the maze.
4
Visitors with mobility concernsNoted considerations: much of the site is in a field, so firm footwear is recommended and muddy conditions may lead to closure—check updates before traveling.
