This year the fields are a 1km walk from the parking area. For safety reasons, everyone (including bus tours) needs to be dropped off at the parking area. Very limited handicap parking available. If you are unable to walk that distance than it would be best to visit on weekdays as handicap parking will more likely be available. To put this in perspective, it would be like walking from Davie to Georgia downtown — it’s not that far! Plus, the beauty of the festival is absolutely worth it.
Admission
Adults $3; seniors $2.50; kids 12 and under are free. Groups of 10+ are $2.50 per adult.
Parking rates do apply. All proceeds for parking are going to the Seabird Travel Club allowing families the opportunity to travel when otherwise unable. Cars $5; small buses $10; large buses $15.
Fresh Cut Tulips
Located at 1694 Tranmer Road in Agassiz, the tulip stand is open daily from dawn to dusk.
