If you haven't see them yet, this weekend is your last chance to catch the Skagit Valley tulips. 

Saturday and Sunday are the last days to see the fields of brilliant blooms. 

"After Sunday, the only blooms that will remain will be the late flowering tulip types flowering in the display garden," say the folks at RoozenGaarde.

Tulip Town says they still have six or eight colors showing in their fields, but Sunday will also be their last day as well.

Admission to each is $7, with kids five and under free. Parking is free as well.

Tulip Town is open 9am-5pm each day, while RoozenGaarde is open 9am-7pm.

Getting there

Getting there can be time-consuming, as I-5 is reduced to two lanes in south Skagit County. For northbound drivers, take the Conway-Lake McMurray exit and use Fir Island Rd. For southbound drivers, take the Burlington/Anacortes exit and follow west State Route 20.

Since 1984, the Festival has delighted visitors with its magnificent and expansive array of blooms. Though the main attraction has remained the same, the science behind it is constantly evolving. Check out the video above to see how the Tulip Festival has changed over the years above.
