Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm on Easter Weekend!

Tags


Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm is located in Woodbury Oregon and it is the place to experience 40 acres of beautiful tulip field in Spring of each year! The ticket price is $5 per person or $20 per car. So if there are more than 4 people in your party, it is better to go with just one car to save money. Other than just rows and rows of tulip at Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm, there are also gift shops, game facilities for the kids, and food vendors.  The tulip farm usually opens from the end of March to the end of April.  It is usually better to go there near the end of the season, around mid April when most of the tulips are blossom.


During the Easter weekend, we decided to head to Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm after having brunch at Reedville Cafe.  Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm is about an hour away from Portland. Just drive down I5 and exit at Woodburn and follow the sign to Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm. When we are just about 10 minutes away from the farm, we got stuck in traffic. Of course, this traffic is due to the amount of people heading to the tulip farm. The traffic was moving extremely slow. We were actually stuck in this traffic for 2 hours until we got into the tulip farm! The good thing is that finding parking is not a problem. There is a ton of parking spaces!


The tulip field at the farm is split into 2 major tulip field. We found this to be a little bit disappointing because a whole field of tulip would look a lot better. The tulips at the farm have a lot of variety of colors and are just beautiful. There are also tractor ride that take you around the farm. The ride is a great choice for senior and little babies. Several benches at the farm have been painted pink to look cute and match the tulip field. There is also a tractor being painted to pink color and attracted many girls to take pictures with!

The farm also allow people to bring their pets into the tulip field. Other than just dogs, we also saw cats on leash! Just make sure the pets behave and don't damage the flowers! We saw several German Sheppard, Golden Retrievers and Labrador retrievers. Most dogs there were Labrador retrievers.


Note that there mobile washrooms at Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm, but they are quite smelly and usually has a very long line up. Thus make sure to prepare for the line up!

Overall, Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm is a great place to go once a year! We were just hoping it has just one single tulip field instead of splitting it into many. In addition, it is recommended to go there as early as you can to avoid all the traffic. Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm does sell Photographer package that allow people to enter early to take photos to avoid the crowd.  Moreover, be prepare to get your shoes dirty! If you can wear boots, then it would be the best idea to wear boots since the ground is quite muddy.  Lastly, if you have an SUV, we would recommend to drive SUV there since some parking space is located in muddy grass field. Having an SUV is a better choice to avoid getting stuck in the field!
