The Bowden Sunflower Maze will be in full bloom this August
Corn mazes, shmorn mazes.
If you really want to get lost (in an absolutely gorgeous field) this summer, we suggest you head on over to the Bowden SunMaze in Bowden, Alberta during the month of August to see a field out of your wildest dreams.

For only a few weeks every summer, the sunflowers at the SunMaze bloom, creating aisle upon aisle of bright yellow flowers for you — and a date, perhaps? — to wander through.

According to the Bowden SunMaze website, the best chance to see the flowers in full bloom would be mid-August, though they also note that the bloom period can start anywhere between the first and third week of that month.
This year, the mazes and upick will be open on Wednesday, August 7 — meaning that you have just over a week to make those perfect plans.
The sunflower field spans three full acres and is home to over 100,000 flowers. Admission to the farm is only $9 for adults, and even less for students and children.

The farm and maze is open rain or shine — but we’d suggest wearing your hardiest pair of rubber boots if it’s a wet one on the day that you want to visit!
Bowden can be reached along Highway 2, is just before Red Deer, and takes about one hour and 20 minutes to reach by car from Calgary.
