WHEN WILL THE SUNFLOWERS BLOOM AND THE MAZE OPEN?

We anticipate the sunflowers will be in peak bloom at the end of August, but sunflower growing is at the mercy of the weather and so the exact time of peak bloom is unpredictable. Sign-up for notifications to alert you on the sunflower bloom status. The peak bloom lasts for about two weeks.

HOURS OF OPERATION

Public hours are 10 AM - 6 PM daily during the peak sunflower bloom. In addition to our normal public hours, we will have time set aside for professional photographers from 7 AM - 10 AM and 6 PM - SUNSET. Photographers MUST purchase a site fee in advance and notify us at least 24-hours in advance for sessions outside of public hours. Get all the details here.

ADMISSION FEE

The admission fee is $5 per person CASH only. ATMs are available onsite. We do require an additional site fee for professional photo-shoots or anything for monetary gain. These include engagement, wedding, family portraits, senior portraits, etc.

PARKING

Parking is available at Brookdale Farms. There is not cost to park. Park in designated area only.

HANDICAP ACCESSIBLE

The sunflowers are handicap accessible, but please remember that we are a working farm and the ground will be uneven, rocky and wet and it may be difficult to maneuver.

PICTURE TAKING

Picture taking is one of the highlights for planning your visit to the Sunflower Maze. We allow a camera only. No lighting, ladders, props, etc. There is an additional site fee for professional photo-shoots or anything for monetary gain. Please see our Photography Policy.

WHAT TO BRING

We are a working farm. We open our fields for this event and fields are uneven and rocky. There are walking paths through the main sunflower field. Please choose appropriate footwear for your visit. Sturdy shoes or even rain boots are a good choice as the fields can get muddy.

CARE OF THE SUNFLOWERS

Please respect our sunflowers, fields, pastures and our farm by the following rules:

• Please be respectful and aware of other guests and the sunflowers.

• Please stay on the paths. No picture is worth damaging the field for others.

• Do not enter adjacent fields/pastures

• We expect all visitors to be respectful of our farm, our animals, and our fields at all times. Those guests disrespecting any part of our farm, sunflowers or animals will be asked to leave the property with no refund.

• Our policies are subject to change without notice.
