Roozengaarde Display Garden & Store

I visited this place about a month ago
This place is excellent
The display gardens are full with lots of variety and beautiful colors
The fields were full when i visited
The entry fee is only $ 5 which is nothing compared to the variety of tulips they offer
The parking is free
Its only an hour from seattle downtown the drive is scenic
I definitely recommend this place

Guys are so different than girls. Our dream is to hang out at the Playboy mansion and jump on trampolines with playmates. My GF’s dream is to frolic in a field of tulips. Go figure.
For V-​day I surprised her with a trip to WA so she can fulfill her dream but since this doesn’t happen until the month of April, I thought I’d kill two birds with one stone and just make it during my bday weekend which was April 15^th. Well who knew in Feb that it would be so warm that most of the tulips would bloom early?
By the time we arrived here, the fields were more than halfway harvested already. It was a bit disappointing that we came all this way to see so much dirt :(. This is nature and I’m not holding Roozengaarde responsible for the unseasonal warm weather. They do a great job of orchestrating the parking lot so people aren’t hogging up the free spots. They also do a great job of maintaining the colorful picturesque front so visitors can Instagram pics all day long.
The thing I don’t like about this place is how they have so many people standing in the field with flags who’s primary job is to photobomb you. Ok maybe their primary job is to keep you off the flowerbeds but it certainly seems like they’re always in your picture! Also the trek to the fields is a bit gnarly especially if you don’t have rainboots so leave your flip flops at home.
I can’t wait to fulfill my dream…

I love the Tulip festival and usually post some photos on my blog
as I did this year. We were up a couple of weeks ago (probably the last day to view the tulips) and it was crowded as it usually is but if you get there earlier in the day — you will be OK.
Of the two main places — this is my favorite. I find them friendlier and more customer oriented then profit oriented — compared to the «other» one. The display garden is well spaced out and great for photos — more tulips then I have seen anywhere else. Be sure to walk around the entire garden area and not just the main display. Also check out the memorial garden in the front.
Parking is generally good and they have a nice handicap section. Food selection is limited but good — however the other place has a larger selection. Note — we usually eat here.
If you are looking for the large fields — they have them earlier in the season but I would say come to this place for the display garden and the other for the fields — my preference. They also do give a military discount which is appreciated. I also come here first since it tends to get more crowded and the garden — while a very nice size — can get filled.

Beautiful tulips everywhere! I was in flowers heaven! I loved it, it was quite a drive out of the way to see it, but the city itself is so beautiful, we didn’t mind it too much. When we went to get tickets for this place, the ladies there were so helpful and so friendly (everyone there were so friendly) that I didn’t want to leave Mt. Vernon in general.
We were lucky to see the tulips due to early bloom season this year so I’m glad we didn’t miss it. You can see where the tulips from the Pike Place Markets come from because the tulips here are just stunning. There’s so many different kinds and different names for each of them, I’m just in awe.
I spent several hours here just getting lost in tulips, it’s beautiful and worth trekking out to see if you’re into flowers in general.

ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!
Should admit we were one among the many lucky folks to catch this blooming beauty of Tulips before the warm spring could take away the stunning sight completely for this year. It was the final weekend of seeing flowers due to the early bloom, Thank God, We made it!!!
Visited Roozengaarde last Friday (04/​15/​2016) with the Hubby in the noon around 1:30 pm. Fortunately, the place wasn’t heavily packed due to weekday. Even their parking lot had ample parking space & the good news is no parking fee. This garden is maintained by a well-​organized group, you can see how they guide you through in the parking lot and also during the crossing (from parking lot to the display garden).
Entry Fee — Just $ 5
OUR IMPRESSIONS — TULIP GARDEN & DISPLAY FIELDS
Although we missed the peak days, feeling extremely satisfied to check out their magnanimous Tulip display or Tulip ocean I may call it. Every color of the flower gives you immense joy, makes you forget about everything completely and you’l simply wish to admire them throughout the day. We spent about couple of hours and still failing to figure out how time passed so quick.
Near the entrance, there’l be a windmill backdrop and two cute signage of Roozengaarde with bunch of colorful Tulips surrounding it. Don’t forget to click handful of pictures there.
The garden at the entrance is huge. Take a stroll leisurely and check out different kinds and shades of tulips. They are arranged so well and very attractive indeed. I really liked the way they had given interesting names to each Tulip variety. I saw Seattle, Fabio, Mascotte etc.
Coming to the vast Tulip display fields, you need to walk a little further from the garden to reach the fields. Before the display of each Tulip color, there is a clear instruction as to not to enter inside the field. Please be courteous to the nature. I bet when you’re nearing the display, «WOW» will be the only word you’l say. The sight will be so mesmerizing and heart-​melting. The fields will look never-​ending in your photos.
TIPS that may help you,
— Wear appropriate shoes. It rains most times, boots are recommended.
— Check out their website for flower blooming updates. (If you’re visitor to the State and you’ve made planning well in advance, honestly, it’s all your luck!!)
— Weekdays are best times to avoid heavy crowd.
— Near exit area, they’ve food concession stand. Items like burgers (includes veggie burger), hot dog, ice creams, cookies, beverages etc are available. It’s slightly expensive, but their cookies are good.
— Grab your favorites from the Gift shop located while you exit. They do provide shipping services of fresh flowers. Check out their website for more details.
OVERALL
I guess this’l be a great preview to the World’s largest Tulip garden @ Keukenhof garden (Lisse, the Netherlands). I was taken aback at the hard work put in to grow & maintain these beautiful flowers. Highly recommending visit to this garden and hope to come back during their peak time!

Such a lovely lovely garden! Love the tulip festival annual tradition of this colorful and beautiful festival!!!
I look forward to visiting the tulip festival and Roozengarden:)
And a gorgeous drive down too!

We went here on Friday, April 8^th. Took a friend’s advice so we got there at 9 am when they opened. Easy to find with visible signage from Mount Vernon. The displays were awesome. Being a guy, my thought was that I could get the wife off my back and finally bring her here. Boy, was I surprised at how much I actually enjoyed the beauty of this place. Gets crowded quickly so go early. We will definitely go again in the future.

The garden at RoozenGaarde is looking absolutely beautiful and is simply overflowing with color! Spent few hours here and did not realize how time had flown. I really enjoyed RoozenGaarde more than I ever imagined. Sunday morning/​afternoon spent well. It was so beautiful and sunny day as well.
The display garden is absolutely exploding with color and showcasing an incredible array of tulip types and colors, amazing patterns and combinations, rivers of blue muscari, and daffodils too! The garden is looking quite spectacular and is definitely a must see.
The staff was nice and accomodating. The entry ticket was just $ 5 thats a good deal for the amount of things you see here. Also, you can buy bouquet of tulips to take home at the gift shops… And the parking lot — busy of course, but lots of efficient staff to keep things moving and to help you find a parking spot. Nice touch — plenty of convenient portable toilets. They have sinks/​soaps outside to wash your hands. Bring a small hand sanitizer with you.
Suggestions on visiting the fields are:
1. If you can go during the week (weekends tend to get really crazy)
2. Get there as early as you can, before all the tour buses arrive (it’s crowded later in the day). Unfortunately, will get in your way when trying to get a shot.
*RoozenGaarde is open from 9am — 7pm every day throughout the Festival. No pets are permitted in the garden.
*Admission is $ 5 per person and $ 4 for those with military ID. Children 5 and under are FREE. Parking is FREE.
*Admission for the garden is only charged during the spring bloom period. Visitors are welcome to stroll the garden free of charge outside of this period.
*The display garden and gift shop are open year round! Only close for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s days.

Lovely spring outing. First spring living in Seattle meant a drive to Skagit county at some point (and some point soon before April got away). It was a perfect day: sunshine and perfect temp. The crowds were swarming the tulip farms, but it was worth it. This may become an annual adventure.

«Roozengaarde»! I just love saying that name! It sounds like some place in Lord of the Rings!
As I said with the other tulip place that I reviewed the best thing to do is to get here as early as possible! If you want to see both of the Tulip Field businesses then you will have to deal with traffic inevitably because people can’t just get enough of these beautiful flowers! I don’t blame them!
What Steve and I did was come up the night before and set out to look at the tulips which was wise because in no time at all the roads were very congested from the turn offs where the Tulip Farms are obviously to some of the roads in Mount Vernon. The Interstate exits for these places had an unbelievable back up. Definitely get here early at least to get a head start from the rush!
The entrance fees to the gardens and fields are quite reasonable, $ 5. From here Roozengaarde has a gift shop and several gardens to stroll through to look at their tulip displays. On the way to the field you can see a daffodil field which was pretty cool as well but their blooms were past their prime when we were there. As you meander down the roads here we came across what looked like very muddy roads except for one spot where it seemed people actually wanted to get into the deep mud in shoes and boots for some reason. The mud was way too thick to cross but everyone thought it was hilarious as people struggled around in it-​including the hapless victims as well.
I don’t know if it was intentional but the rows are generally one color but here every once in a while you would see a tulip of a different color in with the other ones which was actually quite beautiful! I don’t know if the tulip owners thought so but I thought it was!
Definitely a cool place to go to get a nice stroll in and look at beautiful flower blooms!

It’s really an attractive place. Actually I have never seen so many kinds of tulips and such a big area of tulips before. There is no words to describe the beauty and color of all those flowers. Be there, enjoy there, photo there…

Absolutely stunning display garden with a huge variety of different tulip types, as well as large tulip fields to walk through. Be warned that at the height of the season there are TONS of people and children about. Lots of parking in nearby lots, but traffic does pile up well before the gardens.

GORGEOUS! I couldn’t think of any word to describe the fields.
We visited last Saturday (black Saturday) and we were blessed with a fair weather. Good thing my friend called RoozenGaarde first to check if they’re open because other tulip farms were closed during Easter. The lady on the phone informed us that they are open and suggested route to avoid traffic. We left Seattle around 2:00 in the afternoon arrived at 4:00 PM. Though it took us almost a little over 2 hrs drive, still the worth it! Definitely a must see this spring time!

This place was on my bucketlist for my family’s trip up to the Northwest. Totally worth the drive. We went on a weekday, so there wasn’t crazy traffic getting in/​out of the area. The never ending fields of tulips are just as amazing in real life as they are in pictures. We got there shortly after it opened and managed to get a close up parking spot and walk around before it got crazy crowded (and it DID get crazy crowded within an hour of us being there).
Be prepared to be there for hours. The fields are beautiful, the display gardens are beautiful… I felt the need to take pictures of/​with everything and anything.

The Skagit Valley Tulip Festival was truly one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen in my life. I was visiting my cousin in Seattle and she suggested that we go check it out. I am so thankful that she did. This is something I probably never would have known about otherwise. I’m not sure why this isn’t a more famous tourist attraction. I think that all nature/​scenery lovers should put this on their bucket list.
I don’t know how the tulips are so beautifully arranged. There are miles and miles of tulips arranged by color. It was truly an indescribable sight. The colors were so bold and beautiful. Everything was perfectly maintained. And surprisingly, the crowds were not obnoxious. We happened to go on a perfect day where the sky was blue and the sun was shining. I took some of the most beautiful pictures of my life that day.
The Roozengaarde Display is exceptionally beautiful. We stopped for fresh cider at the store. The gift shop was also quite charming.
They also have a little festival in town to celebrate the tulips blooming. There’s live music, food, samples, and farmers selling their homemade jams, oils & baked goods. It was such a lovely day all around. The town is very proud of their event, as they should be!

so many tulips! I came here twice! Admission is $ 5 per person at the Roozengarde main entrance door. And then you gain access to the three patches of tulips on top of that. I love seeing the many varieties of tulips as well as buying up some bunches. If you buy 4 you get the 5^th bunch for free. However, they only accept cash.
Downside is, if you want food, you have to wait in one single line that’s really long for any kettle corn, espresso, or hot dogs/​hamburgers. The only short line is the fudge line.

A must see if you are in Washington! It’s a little over an hours drive from Seattle to mount Vernon. Before you reach Roozengaarde, there’s a tulip festival for street food and trinkets.
Getting to Roozengaarde is a bit of a hassle because it is a small town. So many people come to see the tulips, which means major traffic! If you plan on going, get there early because it gets crowded.
To get into the gardens and fields, there is a $ 5 charge per person. When you first enter, there’s a variety of tulips and flowers to greet you in their gardens and as you make your way to the fields.
We missed majority of the flowers because the tulips bloomed early this year and were harvested. However, there were still rows on rows of tulips in yellow, red, purple, and white. It is a sight to see with mount Vernon in the backdrop. You might wanna wear proper shoes though because it is muddy in spots and it is a bit of a walk to get to the fields.
The drive is worth it because these tulips are just gorgeous and pictures don’t do them justice. Getting out of Roozengaarde is a bit of a hassle though. Getting through the city back to I-​5 can take up to an hour just to leave the city.

Beautiful tulips. Who knew there were so many varieties. Lots of garden beds, I think the rows of tulips that are usually associated with the tulip festival might be located at a different field. However, it is still a sight to see.
Plenty of free parking– I suggest going during the week, much less crowded, and much less traffic. It’s $ 5 admission, but there’s a discount with a military ID.
You can order all of the tulips for your own garden if you so desire, or bring some cut ones home. There are food and drink options inside the garden as well as restrooms (honey buckets) and a cute gift shop.

Nice place to visit but very crowded, try to get there early. The best flowers are probably found at the beginning of the festival rather than the last weekend.
Traffic wasn’t too bad. We went on a Sunday afternoon (12ish) and only encountered traffic one exit away. The traffic on the ramp was backed up and it was slow going for about 4 miles. It probably took about 30 minutes. When we left at three there was a ton of traffic driving in.
Parking is free and admission is $ 5 per person and under 6 is free. Bring cash or get it at the ATM near the parking lot. There are two admission lines, one for cash, and one for everything else. The cash line moves quickly.
Wear proper walking shoes and dress in layers. The ground was dry but there were a few muddy patches but it was mostly dry.
It’s a beautiful place but very busy and not easy to get pictures without a few strangers in them. It’s worth checking out but be ready for traffic, waiting, and a lot of people.

Roozengaarde is amazing! Love this place!
I have been coming to the Mt. Vernon area over the years to see the flowers. This was my first time to this particular garden. It is the largest one out of all of them in the area.
They grow all kinds of tulips, daffodils and iris. It’s a great place to enjoy nature and take pictures. Some of the tulips are 4 feet tall!
They have a huge daffodil and tulip field behind the garden, along with a gift shop and an area to purchase simple food like burgers, hot dogs and popcorn. The gift shop has home décor, art, kitchen items, anything that can have a picture of the tulips on it and of course fresh flowers.
$ 5 a person gets you in/​out privileges for the day to this amazing bulb garden in Mt. Vernon. $ 4 with military ID.
This place is owned by the Roozen family who has been growing tulips in Holland and the US since the 1700’s.
This garden is redesigned each year to have a different layout, so it’s never the same each year.
Buy 4 bunches of freshly cut flowers and get 1 bunch free!
Parking is across the street in a gravel lot. The parking lot is small. I would recommend coming here on a weekday during the daytime so you have a place to park and to beat the crowds. There’s an ATM machine by the florist stand in the parking lot in case you need cash.
