🌷 We are now closed for our 2026 Tulip Days. Thank you to everyone who visited, picked tulips, took photos, and made memories with us!

Over the past two years, we’ve learned a lot about what it takes to grow something like this, and with that comes the need to take care of the land that makes it all possible. In 2027, we’ll be resting our tulip fields to restore the soil and make thoughtful improvements behind the scenes.

We’re already looking ahead to 2028, when we plan to reopen with a refreshed tulip field—one that we hope can be enjoyed for many years to come.

We’re so grateful for your support and look forward to welcoming you back again soon. 💛

The tulip season may be winding down, but there’s still one more way to enjoy the blooms! Once the petals have fallen, it’s time to clear the fields—and you’re invited to join in on Saturday, April 25th from 9am to 1pm.
Come dig up tulips and take home both the flowers and their bulbs to replant in your own garden. It’s a hands-on, end-of-season experience perfect for gardeners and flower lovers alike.

Don’t miss this unique opportunity to take a piece of the tulip field home with you! 🌷🌷

🌷 We’re in the FINAL DAYS of Tulips at Exploration Acres! Peak bloom has passed, and these incredible blooms won’t last long, so pick the perfect day to visit with your family and friends before they all lose their petals.

Join us for Bonus Tulip Days April 20–24 from 12–7 PM, with discounted admission available at the gate only. Come take in the final moments of the season before the blooms are gone!
