A Fan Favorite Every Year: Limited-Time Sunflower Pick-Your-Own
From Saturday, August 1 to Thursday, August 13, visitors can take sunflowers home free of charge.
This popular annual program lets visitors enjoy sunflowers they have picked themselves at home. Please bring your own scissors or other cutting tools. Large-volume pick-your-own by commercial operators is not permitted.
Because a large number of visitors are expected, crowding is anticipated on weekends between 12:00 PM and 3:00 PM. Visiting in the morning or evening, when the park tends to be quieter, is appreciated.
In addition, to help ease congestion, large tour buses are asked not to visit on Saturday, August 1 or Sunday, August 2.
