The popular wagon rides have returned and will drop you off in the massive flower fields. Keep an eye out for the hidden photo-ops with the colourful flower wagon, and dogs and leashed animals are allowed in the fields.
Temperatures are looking hot for the rest of the summer, so stay refreshed with a cold drink and other treats from local food vendors. Guests can also see if they can wind their way through the sunflower maze.
