Skagit Valley Bulb Farm-Tulip Town

Flowers were ok, but traffic was nightmare to get out back to highway to Seattle (1 mile per hour)!

Absolutely stunning display of flowers. I’d never seen anything like it.
Plan for several hours in an afternoon including driving, parking, and exploring this wonderland of color. Coming from Arizona, hearing about a «Tulip Festival» didn’t sound overly exciting. After making the trek with a couple good friends from Seattle, I’m very happy that we did.
The town is spread out over acres of land. The actual Tulip Town entrance has a designated parking lot, and $ 5 entrance fee per person. Young children get free admittance.
Prepare yourself to see rows and rows of beautiful tulips that go on for seemingly miles. There are many types, ranging from various shapes, sizes, and colors. Some of them are labeled, so you can remember your favorites. There’s even a catalog so you can buy for your own garden.
I was impressed by how well the grounds are kept up, particularly with so much foot traffic. Maybe the «flower guardians» have something to do with it. These folks walk around the gardens, making sure no one treads through, disturbing the plants.
Tulip Town is great for little kids. There’s plenty of room to run around and lots of photo ops. Be ready to take pictures. There’s also a snack shop where you can buy fresh kettle corn, sodas, and other carnival-​variety snacks.
My Seattle friends have made Tulip Town a yearly tradition. If we lived up there, we probably would too!

3.5 stars. This is my second time here, but this second time it was with my full family for their time in Tulip Town. We stopped by there on a mid-​April weekday morning to see the tulips. Because this year has been particularly warm, most of the tulips had bloomed and been harvested by mid April already, leaving most of the fields empty and maybe ¹⁄₅ or ¹⁄₆ of the tulips field available for sightseeing during the last week of!
Luckily we got there a bit early just right after 10am. There were still some parking spaces available and the field wasn’t too crowded yet. By the time we left (around 11:30am) though the field was getting crowded and parking space started to hit its capacity, to the point where I doubt you’d be able to get great pictures of the tulip field, given the small area of the tulip field that was left vs. a a large number of people coming to see this place.
Admission fee was $ 5 a person, and I believe it was cash only. I’m not sure if it was worth $ 5 admission during the last few days of the tulips festival anymore (given the small area that was left against a huge crowd of visitors). However, I believe if you were to visit here earlier in the tulip season, this place would definitely give you an in awe feeling seeing how beautiful and colorful the tulips are here! :)

Pretty tulips during the festival but you have to pay $ 5 to get in. It’s not expensive but you will pass other tulip fields on the way that are free and have just as many tulips.

This was my first visit to Tulip Town during a family visit to Seattle. This place is very nice with options to order/​buy tulips and other flowers. The tulip fields were not very big but very beautiful. It cost 5 dollars to enter. We hand a good time there. I would go to Roozengaarde and skip tulip town if you have limited time.

This was our first family visit to Tulip Town and we enjoyed our visit.
We are thankful that it was dry the day before because it made parking and sightseeing a lot easier. Parking was free and entrance fee is $ 5. Our son is 4 years old and was free. I believe that children under 6 are free but am not 100% positive.
You walk in and there was a lovely mural display with a variety of tulips. The murals provided some Dutch history and was beautifully done. I learned a lot while my son had fun looking at the displays. There are a variety of booths selling either face painting services, gift shop, café, tulips, etc before hitting the actual tulips.
The tulips are AMAZING. I’m glad I brought my son’s rain boots because what 4 year old boy can resist a mud puddle? On one side, they had beautiful kites and then there was a section where you could take photos of windmills, a variety of tulips, etc.
Tulip Town had two sections where you could walk around and enjoy the tulips. Because our son began to enjoy the mud puddles a bit TOO much, we opted to ride the tractor pulled trolley. Price was $ 2 per person and $ 1 per child. The sun was out but it was a bit chilly. I LOVE that they had blankets and quilts for those interested. I grabbed one of those suckers real fast while hubby and son braved the chill. The tractor would stop about 4 – 5 times, providing a photo op.
The staff were courteous and helpful.
$ 15 for a family of 3 to enjoy nature’s beauty with no time limit? Awesome.
By the way, we were there for about 1 – 1.5 hours. We left because my son was about to become a mud puddle mess if we stayed one more minute.
The crowds really started to swell as we left (around 11 – 11:30ish) on a Friday morning.

No tulips, dirt… cry, weather… rainy, but I did like how friendly the Mexican field workers were.

We came to WA just for the tulip festival and it was worth it!!! It was beyond gorgeous. The entrance fee is $ 5 per person including parking and you can stay as long as you want.

Love going every spring! Great displays, food and fun! Highly recommend if you enjoy gardening…

So we were in Seattle for spring break and lucked out in being here at the same time as the Tulip festival. For a month the gardens are open for you to wander around and take life enhancing pictures of flowers.
There are two main venues in the area; Tulip town and Rozengaarde. We drove into the area thinking we were going to one and ended at the other.
Tulip town was started by Dutch immigrants so has that little bit of authenticity going for it. That and an obligatory windmill.
We arrived into a large, well spaced car park with the promise of tulips in the distance. Must be less pleasant in the rain but so are most things.
Entrance is $ 5 each which was a decent price for the effort, though the hideous portapotties after all these years show that there is a profit motive involved, somewhere.
Inside there are a couple of gift shops selling stuff to litter your cupboards and some decently priced artworks.
There’s also a mural which is nearly finished with a history of tulips. There’s a hideous little homemade model of the family’s house from the old country which was made with love, if not talent.
A coffee shop selling, well, coffee and overpriced ice cream is in the main undercover area.
Outside there are enclosed areas showing off various identified varieties and, of course, the windmill. There’s also a peace garden with various flags, like a tripadvisor captcha site.
In the distance there are the fields which are layered in multi colors. As you enter the fields, there is a platform to give a raised perspective of the flowers. It is truly spectacular and beautiful to see. You can wander round them, taking pictures, carefully ignoring the notices not to take photos in the gardens or you can get a tractor to ferry you around them. Unless you are infirm, spectacularly fat, or just plain lazy, walk around them, enjoying the gradations changes.
Well worth the pilgrimage.

Amazing collection of tulips! They have a trolley ride that takes you around the entire tulip field.
Entrance fee is only $ 5 and parking is free. Parking is limited but very well-​structured; they have great people guiding you to available parking spots.
They have food stalls and various gift stalls. Come check this out, you’ll get great photos and you’ll love it!

The Farm is a little bit smaller than I was expected. The weather was partly cloudy when I was there. But the tulip is sooooo pretty.!! It should definitely looks way better under the sunshine. Nice place.

Wear shoes with tread and hopefully that are okay to get muddy! The tulip fields are vibrant and full if variety! Photo tip: early morning and overcast days are best for photos, and it’s nice if the tulips are dewy. This farm has a nice indoor area and very family friendly. Porta-​potties for toilets.

Each year, I do something slightly different at the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival. This year, I took the fam to Tulip Town.
They offer free parking in the lot, unlike other pay places. Also, it’s $ 5 cash only entry fee for each person and children 10 and under are free. When you enter, you are in a warehouse which includes cutesy tulip things to look at, gift shop, concession, and kite shop. The food is slightly over priced so I didn’t bother. We did buy a few drinks because it was a little warm out. There’s a large sign that says «restrooms» in a variety of languages, which I like. They’re not actually restrooms. They’re honey buckets. I wish I would have known that before we got there.
They have a nice area to take pictures that reminds me of a miniature golf course. Windmill, statues, rocks, ponds, and of course, tulips.
For an additional $ 2 per adult and $ 1 per child, you can ride a tractor pulled trolley around the fields for about 20 minutes. Our driver passed the time by explaining a bit about the business, how to plant bulbs at home, and the history of Tulip Town. The driver will stop about during the ride so everyone can get a few shots. That’s a nice touch since it’s a bit of a bumpy ride.
There are two fields (which moves around each year) but it takes awhile to walk them since you will be compelled to stop and look at each brilliant color of tulips. In addition to the typical colors, there are some really gorgeous breeds. One in particular reminded me of a rose and looked so beautiful. I also like tulips with pointed, instead of rounded petals. They are interesting and quite striking, in my opinion.
While we were there today, there was very little wind so no kite flying for us. :-(
Overall, not a bad place to view the tulips. I enjoyed that we could stop at one place to wander around. Even during a weekday, it was a little busy so I don’t think I would visit on a weekend.

Tulips, windmill, gift shop, tractor ride and bulbs.
Beautiful rows of colorful tulips outside and some pretty cheesed displays indoors.
The Holland connection was realized when we heard Dutch-​accented voice from the ticket office. $ 5 gets you in, per person.

If you’re going to drive past the Skagit Valley region during the spring tulip season, you should check out Tulip Town. It’s a family run farm and the owners are from Holland. They have lots of colourful tulips in stunning bold and bright colours. I was never a tulip person, but after checking this place out for the first time, tulips can be very pretty, indeed.
They have some very unique tulips with interesting names such as American Dream, Monte Carlo, Double Beauty of Apeldoorn, World’s Favourite, Candy Apple, and Cosmo. Yes, you can buy tulip plants and seeds too!
You should wear proper shoes if you plan to venture on the tulip fields. It was very muddy and I had to be careful so I wouldn’t slip and fall.

Clap, Clap, Clap, Clap, Clap, Clap, Clap, Clap, Clap, Clap… won’t you take me to … Tulip Town!
This is not a Roozen-​owned field but in the Skagit area, there are a multitude of flowers & each tulip field has their own charm & public-​draw. Tulip Town offers huge, multi-​colored kites — the wind is killer in this small area!; tractor rides & fields of beautiful tulips
It is also the most overrun, disrespected field we saw… :-(
I am not the Lorax, but I do feel the need to speak for the Tulips… people — if you’re paying money to visit someone’s WORKING FARM, please show a little cooth & respect & STOP freaking trampling the tulips!
There’s also a kitschy tented area where displays of different tulips are arranged, there’s a gift shop that offers even kitschier tulipy wares & if you’re hankering for an espresso, they’ve got that too!
So pay your $ 5 admission & enjoy the scenery, & the bold, brilliant colors of these most gorgeous tulips… maybe purchase an equally-​brilliant kite & take to the skies

Love tulip town!
It is really muddy. Lots of people slip so be careful. Also lots of people wear rain-​boots. Over the weekends, the place gets super crowded but they have great staff directing parking. If you visit on the weekend, try to get there before 10am.
They have a tent area where they sell a bunch of tulips for $ 5. Some snacks/​food/​ice cream that are around $ 5 — $ 15. They also have some souvenir items in a shop.
They do have a portable restroom but they do not have sinks. So bring a small hand sanitizer with you.
Free parking. $ 5 admission fees, cash only.

The tulips seemed very tall and the rows were very beautiful. A nice trolley to save you wear and tear on your feet but it costs… I forgot to mention that they give military discounts here and at other tulip locations so ask! The kite flying was spectacular up close and from a distance… shop wise… not much to look at… I spent more time out in the field admiring the tulips… not as much variety here but still beautiful to see…

Just got back from Tulip Town, I liked it, in fact I enjoyed it. We even bought some bulbs to plant and bought a couple of bouquets of tulips.
The only problem is that it’s not exactly Tulip Town, and what I mean is that it’s not all about tulips and I wish it were. They have a gift shop but it’s not the same, I mean I want to see tulip-​y things for sale, etc.
Anyway WEAR DIRTY SHOES OR BOOTS YOU DONT MIND RUINING BECAUSE IT’S VERY MUDDY HERE!!! Also bring a jacket, umbrella and sunglasses because the weather changes very quickly.
They accept cash only mostly so best to bring it with you. There’s a café and face painting too.
