Visiting a sunflower field is something that we look forward to each summer. And as the sunflower season approaches in Minnesota, we have compiled the sunflowers fields where you can take your family to enjoy these gems of nature. All of these are within driving distance of the Twin Cities metro area – and the approximate distance is calculated based on drive time from downtown Minneapolis).

We are lucky to have so many sunflower fields around the Twin Cities to visit this summer!
