Save money by purchasing online in advance!

We strongly recommend buying your tickets online in advance to secure your spot. Tickets will be available at the gate only if the event has not sold out online. Please note that gate pricing is significantly higher regardless of the date selected.

Your ticket includes round-trip wagon ride, unlimited time in the tulip fields, access to all photo areas, on-site activities, and parking. Beverages available for purchase at the seasonal bar.

Outside food isn’t allowed. But no worries, you’ll find tasty eats throughout the farm, and both the seasonal bar and Cider Shed offer seasonal drinks and snacks for purchase.

The wagon ride to the trail is accessible and we’re glad to assist with boarding. Once you’re on the trail, be aware it’s gravel so some mobility devices may find it a bit tricky. Many still manage just fine, but we want to set expectations. If bringing a stroller, we recommend a running stroller.

We keep a close eye on the weather leading up to each event. If conditions become severe or unsafe, The Tulip Trail may be canceled. In that case, guests will have the option to receive a refund or reschedule their visit. Please note, if the event remains open and you choose not to attend, refunds will not be issued.

Pets on a leash are welcome outdoors at The Tulip Trail! However, inside the restaurant and Country Store, only service animals are permitted.

That’s okay, Late arrivals are still welcome!

The walking trail is approximately a half mile long.

Refunds are only provided if the Tulip Trail is closed due to hazardous weather. If you need to switch your event date, please call 618-233-0513 x 0 or email tickets@eckerts.com. Requests must be submitted prior to your scheduled visit. Requests made after your scheduled date will not be accepted.
