Tulips are in full bloom.
As spring blossoms over Texas, the last of the winter blues fade away. It’s a little too late to go ice skating. It’s a little too early to go to the beach for warm waters. But, it’s the perfect time to experience the small pocket of spring with tulips!
March and April are perfect for experiencing vast fields of colorful blooms. Here are a few places where you can experience the beauty of the blooms—some only a short drive away, others worth the weekend road trip getaway.
Texas-Tulips, Pilot Point • Most Instagrammable
At this location, rows of tulips stretch out in a Dutch-style setting. Several breeds of tulips are found here, organized in neat, colorful rows.
Admission Fee: $7 per person; $3 per stem picked
US-287 Business, Decatur • Hidden Gem
This destination features red tulips and poppies—two symbols of peace encompassed in history—growing in tandem on the edges of older, historical buildings.
Sweet Berry Farms, Marble Falls
An hour west of Austin, this farm has a more cottage-core aesthetic. It features the wonderful bonuses of farm life, fun activities and strawberries.
Admission Fee: $5 per person; $3 per stem picked; $3.25 per pound of strawberries
Robinson Family Farm, Temple
The tulips here bloomed prematurely, but late blooms still have a way to go.
Open to the public on the weekends, this Dutch-style farm also offers photo ops, food trucks and other attractions such as axe throwing and a super slide.
Admission Fee: $16.95 per person
Houston Botanical Gardens, Houston
The gardens host a wide variety of beautiful, colorful blooms. Tulips may be out of sight here, but it still makes for a great wildflower expedition—bluebonnets perhaps?
Admission Fee: $10 per person; $8 for students with valid school ID.
