Walk through Rows of Brilliant Blooms at Wicked Tulips Flower Farm

Submitted by Ally Noel on Sun, 05/08/2022 - 10:00am

Fill a basket with beautiful blooms.

Rows and rows of tulips arranged into bands of colors fill the landscape at the Wicked Tulips Flower Farm. During their U-Pick event, guests are encouraged to immerse themselves in a field of blooming bulbs and pick a bouquet (or two, or three…). Located in Preston, Connecticut (there's also a location about 25 miles away in Exeter, RI), Wicked Tulips is a feast for the eyes. 

Tulip season is short and typically lasts just 2-3 bloom-filled weeks a year. Read on for the details about the annual u-pick tulip event and find more all-season farm fun in our Pick Your Own Guide to CT Farms.

Looking for the best things to do in Connecticut this Easter weekend? Here are some family-friendly events and activities to add to your schedule.

Considering that the events of Passover and Easter are inextricably linked, the dates of the two religious holidays don't coincide as often as you might think. This year they do, which makes for an extra exciting weekend of holiday fun for families. If you're looking for a hearty Easter brunch or Easter egg hunt, there are plenty to choose from, including events in Southport and West Hartford. For Passover, traditionally celebrated at night, try the Community Seder in West Hartford. 

Or maybe you're just looking for some kid-friendly opportunities to get outside for some fresh spring air during Spring Break in Connecticut. This weekend features Canton's Spring Scavenger Hunt, Baby Goat Snuggle Sessions in Salem, and the B. the Underwater Bubble Show in Stamford.
