Every spring, Mother Nature paints the hills of Carlsbad in a vibrant palette of pinks, reds, oranges, yellows, and whites. The spectacular display is none other than The Flower Fields at Carlsbad Ranch – a glorious 55-acre canvas of Giant Tecolote Ranunculus flowers that bloom for six to eight weeks.
The fields, which opened for the season in March, are conveniently situated right below The Cassara Carlsbad, making them an irresistible attraction for resort guests.
From early March through early May, The Flower Fields have become an annual pilgrimage for nature lovers, photographers, and families alike, all eager to witness the breathtaking bloom that heralds the arrival of spring in Southern California.
In honor of the occasion, The Cassara Carlsbad is enhancing the experience with its exclusive Stay & See Package. The special offer not only invites guests to immerse themselves in the natural beauty of the area but also ensures a comfortable and luxurious stay.
Included in the package are well-appointed accommodations, two admission tickets to The Flower Fields, complimentary Flower Power Sour Welcome drinks inspired by the nearby blooms, a box of flower-themed chocolates created locally by Seabreeze Craft Chocolates, and free onsite parking. Additionally, the hotel offers a complimentary shuttle service to and from the fields.
Along with the breathtaking flower display, The Flower Fields offers a variety of attractions for all ages. One of the highlights, the tractor wagon rides, meanders guests through the vibrant blooms, offering panoramic views and unique photo opportunities.
Children find a wonderland at Santa’s Playground, a cherished area that revives the playground that once belonged to Santa Claus Village in Lake Arrowhead during the 1950s and 1960s. Here, the magic of Christmas and the splendor of spring merge among whimsical play structures. For those seeking more adventure, the Sweet Pea Maze challenges visitors to navigate its twisting turns, surrounded by the gentle fragrance of sweet pea flowers.
A journey through The Flower Fields would not be complete without visiting the Historic Poinsettia Display. Carlsbad, known for its significant history in poinsettia cultivation, presents a stunning array of varieties, showcasing the diversity and botanical history of the festive plant.
Meanwhile, the Carlsbad Mining Company offers a fun, hands-on activity that lets kids and adults alike pan for gems like miners of the old west, providing a souvenir to take home from their visit.
Beyond these activities, weekly events throughout the season add to the fields’ allure. Live music set against the backdrop of the blooms creates an enchanting ambiance, perfect for a leisurely afternoon stroll. Craft enthusiasts can participate in various workshops, from creating floral crowns to painting classes, all inspired by the breathtaking surroundings.
The Flower Fields at Carlsbad Ranch are open daily now through May, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. With The Cassara’s Stay & See Package, an unforgettable vacation awaits amid Carlsbad’s enchanting floral panorama.
Sip into the season with The Cassara Kitchen & Bar’s Flower Power Sour
As The Flower Fields unfurls its petals to the warm embrace of spring, The Cassara Kitchen & Bar stirs up the celebration with its latest libation – the Flower Power Sour.
Rooted in the spirit of the season, the Flower Power Sour is a delicate dance of flavors designed to enchant and invigorate. At its heart, Cali Fino Blanco Tequila infuses the drink with a smooth, spirited base, layering in a taste of California sunshine.
The mix blossoms further with grapefruit juice and aquafaba for a smooth texture, while agave nectar sweetens and lemon juice adds a sour kick. The bitter-hibiscus syrup infuses a floral essence, and a lemon twist garnish completes the cocktail, capturing the essence of spring with every sip.
This celebration in a glass is available exclusively at The Cassara Kitchen & Bar from March through May.
