Sunflower season is inching toward us and you can check out these dreamy golden fields this summer. Why let your friends' Instagram pics of bright florals, sweet treats and fun backdrops give you FOMO when you can go ahead and add a visit to a sunflower field to your August bucket list?

You can follow cleared trails through the tall flowers, snap a pic on some colourful couches hidden among the golden blooms, or even get lost in some mazes.

The sunflowers don't follow a set timeline, so you can go ahead and check out the different farms' socials to ensure the flowers are in full bloom before your visit. Most fields of yellow will open to the public at the end of July or early August. So, here are seven picturesque locations to check out in Ontario this season.
