For more than sixty years, Mother Nature has transformed the rolling hills of North San Diego County into one of the most spectacular and coordinated displays of natural color and beauty anywhere in the world. The nearly fifty acres of Giant Tecolote Ranunculus flowers that make up the Flower Fields at Carlsbad Ranch in Carlsbad, California, are in bloom for approximately eight to ten weeks each year - from early March through early May - literally bringing the famous fields back to life. This annual burst of color, which has become part of the area’s local heritage, also is one of nature’s official ways of announcing the arrival of spring here in Southern California.

On the second Sunday of every month, the museum offers free admission to all visitors. No reservations are required for Second Sunday admission.

From 11AM – 5PM, explore, An Artful Life, The Sculpture Garden, and what's New on View in The Collection Galleries.

 
Second Sunday also runs concurrently with Play Day from 11AM – 2PM. There will also be a public tour at 2PM.
