Frequently Asked Questions about the Tulip Festival

When is peak tulip bloom?

Here’s the secret: there’s no such thing as peak bloom! Tulips are planted in early, mid, and late-blooming varieties, which means something is always blooming, but never all at once. No tulip farm or garden will have every variety in full bloom at the same time.

If Tulip Valley Farms is open, you can count on being surrounded by hundreds of thousands of blooming tulips. For visitors traveling from outside the region, mid-April is generally the safest window for seeing a wide range of color.

Where can I get Tulip Festival tickets?

There is no single ticket for the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival. Each tulip farm and garden is independently owned and operated, so tickets must be purchased directly from the location you plan to visit.

Most farms do not offer refunds, so be sure you are purchasing tickets for the correct venue and date before completing your order. Tulip Valley Farms tickets can be purchased through our online ticketing platform.

Can I see multiple gardens/farms in one day?

Yes, and many visitors do. Each tulip farm and garden has its own personality and experience. On sunny weekends, traffic can limit how many stops you can comfortably make. On weekdays, it is often possible to visit three to four locations in one day without feeling rushed.

Can we walk through the tulip fields?

Yes! Tulip Valley Farms is designed as a walk-through tulip experience, with wide, grass-rowed fields that allow visitors to safely walk through the rows and enjoy the blooms up close.

Tulip Valley Farms is the only tulip farm in Skagit Valley that allows guests to walk through the rows during the Tulip Festival; other gardens are designed for viewing only.

When is the best time to visit during the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival?

The best time to visit depends on what kind of experience you’re looking for. Weekdays are typically quieter and offer a more relaxed pace. Weekends bring a lively festival atmosphere but also more traffic. For visitors traveling from outside the area, mid-April usually offers the widest variety of blooms across the region.

How big is Tulip Valley Farms?

Tulip Valley Farms spans 15 acres of tulip fields, featuring 130 flower varieties, including more than 100 tulip varieties. The farm is intentionally designed with wide, walkable rows and open space, allowing guests to explore the fields comfortably and experience a diverse range of colors and blooms throughout the season.
