Top 4 Spots to Tip Toe Through the Tulips

Amid all the blossom furor, the graceful tulip is making her first spring appearance in a variety of styles and hues – think stripes, frills and solids. And while a family photo under the delicate, pink cherry petals is a must, nothing beats toddlers amid the tulips. But where to go for tulips in Vancouver?

There are two major ticketed tulip festivals in the Fraser Valley featuring acres of colourful blooms and stunning backdrops. They both offer excellent photo ops and typically loads of activities to keep the kids entertained if admiring spring blooms isn’t quite enough to maintain their attention. We’ve also included some first-rate gardens around town that have their own share of floral fun.

Top Tulips in Metro Vancouver!

The Chilliwack Tulip Festival

Update: Now Called The Harrison Tulip Festival

We were recently invited to the breathtaking Chilliwack Tulip Festival (now called Harrison Tulip Festival) blossom fest. This is tulip growing country folks! With a drop-dead spectacular mountain backdrop, the fest also boasts hyacinth and daffodil fields, food trucks, Dutch treats, kids crafts and tractor rides and the real farm experience, which is great for all ages. Don’t let rain stop you from visiting, just put on your rainboots and jacket because we the sun clears, even for a second, it a perfect photo op.
