Well-known for being a sun-drenched coastal getaway, San Diego also has a few surprises up its sleeve for visitors. Come springtime, that includes a multi-colored 55-acre bloom of Giant Tecolote Ranunculus flowers, sometimes called Persian buttercups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A beloved event each year among locals that marks the arrival of spring, The Flower Fields<\/a> in North San Diego County are an off-the-beaten path treasure worth exploring \u2014 and not just for horticulturists. Between the tractor wagon rides, Sweet Pea Maze, Santa\u2019s Playground, and even mining for polished gemstones, The Flower Fields are a family-friendly attraction that my son and I began visiting when he was just 4 years old and continue to return to regularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s everything to see and do at The Flower Fields and tips to make the most of your visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The star of the show at The Flower Fields is, of course, the flowers, which blanket a hillside overlooking the shimmering Pacific Ocean, making for countless memorable (and Instagram-worthy) photos. Visitors can explore the flowers on foot using the trails and paths that weave through and along the fields. Walking amongst the flowers provides plenty of time to snap photos and get an up-close look at the full spectrum of shades in bloom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you\u2019re ready for a rest, there are benches, chairs, and picnic tables scattered throughout and around the fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
