Best Time to Visit Tulip Fields in New York

Before you start running out to find tulips near you because the weather hits 60 degrees, tulips generally don’t start to bloom until mid-April – May in New York. By this time, the tulips in North Carolina are long gone, so timing matters. I have a thing for finding tulips everywhere I go!

It is always best to check with the farm or garden before visiting to see tulips since the weather can be different every year. Tulips usually bloom for a couple of weeks!

Tulip Fields on Long Island at The Waterdrinker Family Farm

As a Long Islander myself, I can attest to the amazing things the Waterdrinker Family Farm has blooming throughout the year! Not only do they have some of the best sunflower fields on Long Island, but they also have the most incredible tulip fields!

For the 2024 Waterdrinker tulip festival on Long Island, the Waterdrinker has planted over 1 million tulips in their fields for guests and even furbabies to enjoy! Did I mention they are also one of the best dog-friendly farms on Long Island? They usually run the festival for 4-5 weeks, depending on the weather and tulip fields! During this time, they will be open 7 days a week so as many people as possible can enjoy the tulips! 

The Waterdrinker will also have food trucks and live music on the weekends. Throughout the fields, you will find fun photo props. The farm also offers barnyard animals, a jumbo jump pad, mini-golf, a wooden playground, and more!

Additionally, they also have their own brewery called Barned and Raised, which is located inside their former potato barn! The Waterdrinker is also a great place to go pumpkin picking on Long Island! Check on the Waterdrinker website for updates on when the tulip festival will officially begin!
