Get ready to brighten up your summer because the much-awaited SโMILES OF SUNFLOWERS event at Lynd Fruit Farm is back! What is better than being surrounded by the beauty of blooming sunflowers!?
Event Details:
๐ป Dates: Good News! They’re opening a WEEK early on Friday, August 18, followed by August 25, 26, 27 & September 1, 2, 3, 4. They expect plenty of blooms for great photos this first early weekend, with peak weekend the weekend of August 25. The third & final weekend you’ll find the giant KONG. They will likely be fully opened. Keep in mind, the early bloom weekend was unexpected, so concessions & entertainment will not be available. All the props and freshly open sunflowers will be on display!
๐ป Time: 10 a.m. โ 8 p.m.
๐ป Admission: $10 (Kids aged 5 & under enter for FREE!)
Your admission ticket includes one sunflower, a coupon for 3 free shots at their apple cannons, kids fun zone including mini zip line and live music (during scheduled times). Don’t forget to bring your hand pruners, or you can buy a pair on-site for just $9.
