As much as we hate to do it, we have to turn you away if you arrive without a ticket. We limit the number of people entering our field to make this event pleasant for everyone. Thank you for understanding. For 2022, tickets will be sold by time slot to limit the number of people in the fields at one time. Tickets are always location-specific (IE Exeter OR Preston)
Thank you for understanding.
Unfortunately, sold out is sold out. We wish we could accommodate these requests, but we honestly get so many of them that one more ticket turns into 100+ tickets on our end. Please, do not call or email about an extra ticket but do post on our Facebook page that you are looking for one. Sometimes folks can’t use the tickets they purchased or a friend cancels.
Yes, as long as you contact us via email within 24 hours of placing your order and the date for the ticket purchased is a minimum of 48 hours away. We are not able to do a direct exchange. Please go ahead and purchase a new ticket. We will cancel/refund the earlier transaction later. We will be extremely busy during the few weeks that we are open so it could take us about a week to process the refund. It could take an additional 7-10 business days to show up on your statement after we process it. Thank you for your patience.
No, you will receive separate tickets for each person which you can print or email to allow friends/family to check in at different times.
No. We are open rain or shine. Even in the rain our tulips have the power to make you happy! In previous years, most people still came on rainy days, just wear appropriate attire.
You can find your ticket in our system and resend it yourself.

No, we don't allow pets in the field. Of course, valid service animals are allowed.
We recommend bringing your own water for transporting your tulips home. Please bring your tulip water in a separate container than what you will be using for picking your tulips; you don't want to carry the water around with you in the fields!
We will not have drinking water available, so be sure to bring your own; there is no water source at either location.
No, but we can donate the tulips to a local nursing home for you or you can consider giving them as a gift or as a random act of kindness.
Sorry, no, Any Day tickets are good for the year for which they were purchased. For 2022, only 2022 Any Day Tickets will be accepted.
While it's best for you to come at your assigned ticket time, if you are running late, you can visit us another time that day. However, you may have to wait if we are at capacity. You do not need to contact us about running late or if you are coming at a different time on the same day.
If your child is 4 or under, they do not need a ticket to enter.
Kids tickets are for ages 5-17 and cost $5

OTHER IMPORTANT EVENT INFO
We have large fields for you to park in which could get muddy. Please come with good walking shoes and do not take a fancy low sport car to this event.
There are many New England rocks laying around, which are not suitable for low cars. If you come with a regular car, we do not expect it to get damaged or stuck, but parking is at your own risk. We are not responsible for damage and tow truck costs.
We have designated accessible parking spaces close by the entrance. These spaces are in our field and could get muddy during wet circumstances.
Yes you can with a regular vehicle. When it is extremely muddy, however, we cannot accommodate vans/buses because they get stuck easily. We never allow large buses close to our field. Due to COVID, we will not be allowing groups or busses.
No. Please do not put it back in the ground (yes, people do this). Once the tulip is picked, it is yours. If you stick them back in the ground, they will die and this is a loss for us as a business. It’s like eating food and not paying for it and is one of the reasons we include tulips in the entrance price.
We hope to open sometime in late April and will close when the tulips are done blooming. Please check the “Bloom Report” before you plan your trip.
Exeter Rhode Island Bloom Report
Preston Connecticut Bloom Report
It is impossible to predict when the field will bloom. We expect to know the exact opening date 3-5 days before opening. We are monitoring the bud development closely and will provide timely forecasts and updates on our bloom report. We expect a blooming period of +/- 2 weeks. This year, we planted our early and mid-blooming tulips in Exeter, RI and late-blooming tulips in Preston, CT.
You do not have to pick and are very welcome to simply come and enjoy the sights and sounds of a large tulip field. You will still be required to purchase a ticket which includes 10 tulips. If you do not want them, we will donate them for you or you could consider gifting them to someone or even giving them as a random act of kindness. We would not be able to do what we do and be a sustainable business if we did not charge entrance as we get thousands of visitors who just want to see the tulips and take pictures.
PHOTOGRAPHY POLICY
No. We do not allow any kind of props. Tripods are allowed, but no reflectors, light stands, props etc. Please do not use tripods in high traffic areas and be respectful of other people and our delicate tulips.
