Mothers Day 2024 is on the later side this year, on May 12th
Check u-pick ticket availability here: 🎟️ https://bit.ly/tulipsgalore
Because of variations in temperature and bloom times, we do not suggest waiting to get tickets for Mother's Day if you have earlier options to visit. We cannot be sure we will be open at any farm well into May, or still be in peak bloom. We just don't know until approximately 6 days beforehand!
Many guests celebrate Mom's Day at an earlier time when you can be sure our fields are "wow-worthy." U-Pick tulips can last a while at home with proper care, so she'll likely still be enjoying her bouquet on Mother's Day.💐

Sorry, no, Any Day tickets are only good for the year for which they were purchased. For 2024, only 2024 Any Day Tickets will be accepted. They may however, be used at any location while it is open.
Yes, however, if you don't feel comfortable with us touching your mobile device, we can look it up by your order # or name or you can print your ticket and bring it on paper.
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.
No, that is not how we designed that pass. It will only work once at each farm!
We want you to enjoy the unique beauty of each of our 3 tulip fields!
Tickets are required and must be purchased online. You may NOT purchase tickets at the door.
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 2024, 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, Johnston, OR Preston)
Thank you for understanding.
No need! Just come to any open farm during the regular business hours with your scannable code.
We staff our fields and only allow a limited number of visitors each day, so your experience is always pleasant and blooms are always plentiful. For this reason, we must charge for each adult who enters. Thank you for understanding.
If you do not want your ticket's included 10 tulips, you may donate them to a local organization. Just talk to any Team Tulip member!
While we do love all sorts of pets-dogs, cats, and goldfish, we cannot allow them at the farms. Of course, valid service animals are allowed.
YES! Adult General Admission Tickets:
Weekday Tickets are $20
Weekends $23
Kids (ages 5- 17) $5 anytime
Once you arrive, you may stay until closing. Weekday afternoons are an exceptionally pleasant time to bring snacks & drinks and visit with friends and co-workers.
Please don't worry. We only release tickets for any farm when it is "wow-worthy."
Meaning, we only release tickets in limited numbers/batches when we feel confident the fields and tulips will be beautiful and your experience a happy one.
At the very end of a farm's season, we *may* choose to open the fields for "end of season discount days" which means you can visit at a lower price, and these days are clearly labeled as such within ticketing calendar. These days are still beautiful, but maybe don't have the field color that makes photos so spectacular. SHOW GARDENS, however, will still be in bloom!
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.
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. Tickets are nonrefundable and must be used on the date for which they were purchased. Tickets are transferable to another person, so feel free to give it to a friend to use.

No, kids tickets are never sold out! We believe it is important for kids to get outside and explore nature, so we don't want to take away an opportunity for any child to visit our farm.
YES!! Self-wrapping stations with paper and tape are here for your use!
You will also have the option of having us wrap your tulips for you for a small fee in which a portion will be donated to a local charity. Learn more about "pay to wrap" here.
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.
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 (kids tickets do not come with tulips, but tulips can be purchased for $1/stem).
No, but we can donate the tulips to a community organization for you or you can consider giving them as a gift or as a random act of kindness.
Our farms are wheelchair and stroller accessible as far as farms go. This means, there may be a bit of a walk on gravel from parking lot to fields, and soft or muddy, rocky ground between the tulip beds. In general, most visitors find the experience workable for strollers and wheelchairs.
If you are in a wheelchair, please indicate this to the parking attendants at the farm and they will direct you to the closest lot for you to park.
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.

We have designated accessible parking spaces close by the entrance. These spaces are in our fields and could get muddy during wet circumstances. Please let one of our traffic team member know that you need a handicapped spot and they will help direct you.
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.

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.
We love our community and hope you'll also enjoy stopping by some of our favorite places near our tulip farms!

Hallene Farm (Not food, but a great plant stand)

Adult ticket prices include 10 tulips. Each additional tulip is $1 per stem.
No, you do not need to bring scissors or clippers unless you want to. We do not provide them as they are not needed to pick. To pick, simply grasp the tulip stem as low as possible to the ground and pull up. This method allows you to get the longest stem possible. See this page for more details on how to pick a tulip at the farm.
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.
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.
During the Fall we receive bulbs in plastic crates. Details on sizing, pricing and how to order bulb crates for farm pick up is on this website page
Unfortunately we can't accommodate buses due to muddy, soft parking areas. Sorry, we also do not offer group tours or discounts per se. As always, you can buy as many tickets as are available for any time slot or location, and join friends that way. We encourage you to subscribe to our email newsletter to get notifications of when tickets go on sale.
You may contact our team at teamtulip@wickedtulips.com about a larger group visiting on a weekday. We can occassionally accommodate this with advance arrangements.
