The popular wagon rides have returned and will drop you off in the massive flower fields. You can also hop on board a small train that loops around the sunflowers.
Keep an eye out for the hidden photo-ops amidst the 90 different flower varieties. And there will even be large, animated dinosaurs to entertain children of all ages.
