Celebrate America’s Proud Military History Aboard the U.S.S. Midway

San Diego is a city known for its perfect weather, beautiful beaches, warm sunshine and vibrant city life, but it is also a military town at heart. That’s why we are so proud to be permanent home to the iconic U.S.S. Midway, one of the most distinguished aircraft carriers in the history of the United States Navy. Once utilized as one of the longest-serving aircraft carriers in the Navy, the U.S.S. Midway was commissioned in 1945, one week after World War II ended and was decommissioned in 1992 – following a stint of more than 47 years of service.

Today, the U.S.S. Midway Museum is one of the most popular tourist destinations in downtown San Diego. Over the years, the aircraft carrier has been meticulously and lovingly restored and now greets guests young and old who want to take a glimpse into America’s rich naval history. The museum presents a variety of events and activities throughout the year. Tours include the sleeping quarters of ordinary soldiers, the mess hall, officers’ quarters, engine room, the brig, chapel, and even the laundry room. Visitors end the tour on the flight deck, where 29 restored aircraft are proudly on display.

The Flower Fields Of Carlsbad

Every year from March 1st to May 12th, Carlsbad is awash in color as The Flower Fields® open their doors to the public, allowing visitors to admire over 50 acres of vibrant Tecolote® Giant Ranunculus flowers.

If you are a passionate gardener or love having a fresh bouquet of flowers in your home, then The Flower Fields of Carlsbad can’t be missed. Each year, the ranunculus bulbs blossom into large and impressive designs, including long colored rows in lemon yellows, ruby reds, pristine whites and more.

While The Flower Fields specialize in ranunculus bulbs, the most popular and well-known design is a 300 by 170 foot American flag, made up entirely of red, white and blue petunias. You really have to see it to believe it, so take a look at this short aerial tour of The Flower Fields taken by our friends at Aerial MOB.

Guests are invited to visit the The Flower Fields from March 1st to May 12th where they can wander down easy-to-traverse paths along the fields. This is a trip for the whole family. Children can enjoy an antique tractor ride through the fields, a sweet pea maze and Santa’s Playground.

The Flower Fields of Carlsbad was started over 85 years ago when Luther Gage settled in the area and planted some ranunculus seeds. Gage and his neighbor, Frank Frezee, named the bulbs “Tecolote Ranunculus Bulbs” after the owls that nested on their property.  Frank’s son, Edwin Frezee, took over the flower operation, working year after year to breed different colors of ranunculus flowers.

The fruit of all his work and dedication is The Flower Fields of Carlsbad, a wonderful attraction for those staying in the Carlsbad area who have a passion for horticulture. Tickets for entrance to the fields start at $11.00, with discounts provided to children and seniors.

If you are staying in Carlsbad during the spring, add The Flower Fields to your activities list, and don’t forget to stop by the gift shop to take home some ranunculus bulbs so you can bring a bit of the color and joy of The Flower Fields home with you.
