Easter weekends
Egg hunts, baby bunnies, baby animals and hayrides on the Easter Festival weekends, all with the same ticket.
When the Tulips Bloom
Tulips are a crop, so bloom dates move with the weather every year. The season runs late March into April, and we post bloom updates on Facebook before every weekend. In 2026 the festival ran March 28 through April 12.
