It’s officially tulip season at many of BC’s farms, and Greendale Acres in Chilliwack is prepared to unveil a whole host of family-friendly attractions this spring.
Inspired by the colourful varieties of Dutch flower festivals, the farm is transforming into a magical experience for all ages this spring. This includes the Sweet Spring Flower and Animal Festival, which takes place from April 7th to May 6th.
The festival will include 50,000 hand-planted flowers that form a colourful tapestry, punctured by meandering rivers of tulips that lead guests across scenic footbridges and windmills. Picture a quintessential spring snapshot!
Easter activities
Even sooner, the farm will celebrate Easter with an Easter Egg Hunt from 9 am to 4 pm on Friday, March 29th to Sunday, March 31st. In addition to a huge egg scavenger hunt in the apple orchard, families can snap a photo with the Easter Bunny, meet some baby animals, and hang out at the fire pits.
