It’s winter, It’s been cold and the kids have been cooped up inside. It’s been a party alright. Finally, spring has arrived, temperatures have risen and these cute little guys need to get outside, run around and play and defuse some of that energy!
You too might need a little fresh air and maybe, a breather.
Well, we have a place for you. ‘Tulipville’ u-pick tulips at Hemingway Hill in Terrell, Texas, just a short drive from Forney and Dallas, opening Thursday, February 27th at 10:00 am. Free admission.
Hemingway Hill planted over 40,000 tulips, in 30- inch rows, with kids in mind. Kids can roam freely, as you take a moment to pick regeneratively (i.e. no chemicals) grown tulips and snap beautiful pictures of your kids having fun in the tulip fields. The farm will have kid friendly snacks for purchase and free stickers for your kiddos.
Speaking of photography, do you have a photographer who you’ll want to come with you to take pictures of your kids or are you a professional photographer looking for a new place to shoot? All during tulip season, professional photographers can shoot all day for just a 25 dollar p/day fee, must show proof of commercial insurance at the gate (no exceptions), sign a waiver, clients can come for free and no reservation required.
Hemingway Hill is privately owned and operated farm in Terrell, Texas that opens its gates to the public three times a year – u-pick tulips from the end of February until third weekend in March, u-pick flowers and sunflower field experience, Mothers Day weekend until July 4th and an old fashioned Christmas tree experience with free s’mores around the fire pit, the weekend prior to Thanksgiving to mid December. You can learn all about Hemingway here.
