Lompoc Flower Fields — Attraction in Lompoc

We visited May 4, 2025, and drove all the way along Ocean Blvd / SR 246, west to Union Sugar Avenue, north to West Central Avenue, then back east to Floradale Avenue, along the routes that are reported to be the best. The beautiful views you see in brochures from 30 years ago, are, unfortunately, a thing of the past. Only ~15% or less of the fields have flowers, and most are edible greens. The ones that did have flowers were not really that great when we were there (see photo below of the best spot). My wife was annoyed we'd gone out of our way to check it out, since we'd been to the "flower festival" a few years ago, and been told that the flower fields had been converted to vegetables growth quite a while ago, so she thought I should have known it would be a bust. If you were staying in Lompoc for several days in the spring, and didn't have much else to do, you could give it a shot, but you're likely to see at most one or two good fields, based on my experience. Please look at the pictures in other reviews - even some of the 5-star reviews say as much, or have underwhelming pictures, so I think "star inflation" is going on for this attraction. At least we didn't have to pay money to see it, although it was probably a 45-minute detour from the US-101 route we otherwise would have taken. I thought the Museum at the Mission was my favorite tourist site in Lompoc, for what it's worth. Lompoc has a lot of other good attractions, and we enjoyed staying the night back then, but this is not one...

One of the best free flower fields in California. Unlike the flower field in Carlsbad, this one is an actual commercial flower farm where the flowers are supplied to the local florists in California.

Depending on the season, you will see different flowers blooming. Just have to look for them. The flowers are stretching along Ocean Road. In order see the flowers, you have to come around spring until end of summer.

We came around around the beginning of June, the Lavenders were in bloom. We got some nice shots of the flowers

It’s totally worth coming. But please be mindful not to trample the flowers as the fields are...

I went there on April 25, there were no flowers on this field location. However, I found another flower fields in different location on Ocean Ave. (from the shopping centers, hotels, restaurants, Ryon Memorial parks area of Ocean Ave... drive down to Ocean Park, you will see a big flower fields on the left side of Ocean Ave, about 3-5 miles from hotels area). It's a big field with different flower colors, perfect for portrait photography, sightseeing. Recommend everyone to come here, near downtown of Lompoc. Workers at the field were also friendly, they enjoyed many people come to visit their...
