According to Kate Onos-Gilbert co-founder of Tulips of the Valley, who organizes the event, this summer "everyone is looking for ways to have fun while staying local and staying safe."
Within the colossal 10-acre flower garden, there will be three-kilometres of extra-wide pathways to explore. It sounds so beautiful; you might never want to leave.
For those of you hoping to get a selfie next to the yellow blossoms, this is your chance. The capacity limited to 25% so you won't have to worry about tons of people in the background of your picture.
Even the blooms are getting bigger and better this year. You'll get to see the brand new giant sunflowers and 50 different types of colourful dahlias.
For the first time, they have also added one summer's best showstoppers — Gladiolas. So instead of just a sea of gold, you'll spot every shade in the rainbow.
You can also bring the beauty home with you and buy flowers.
To help you beat the heat, they also will have frozen treats or meals to-go from food trucks in the parking lot.
The exact start date depends upon the weather, but mid-August is the estimated official opening. For updates, you can check their social media.
