Beautiful, well-maintained fields that attract a lot of visitors. Do come early to avoid crowds and heat. Several varieties are planted from multi-branching to dwarf to mammoth Russian sunflowers. Expect to spend 40 to 60 minutes or more exploring the many rows and paths. Lots of good picture spots. Watch for bees and please dont pick or destroy any sunflowers.

GREAT park. Man, City of Raleigh did good planting these flowers here. When we visited, there were so many people there taking pictures and just enjoying the scenery. We saw a ton of bees, which is one of the best reasons to see these flowers in bloom! Thank you, City of Raleigh.

Always a destination worth visiting in late summer. Love these huge fields of happy flowers :) great photo opportunities.This field is part of Dorothea Dix park which is North America’s largest green space inside city limits! Events are happening here all the time. Art, music, food, etc. Definitely worth stopping by.

Nice place to walk and take pictures of Sunflowers. More than enough parking available. Easily accessible and no stairs. Could be muddy if it has recently rained.

The park around was beautiful but sunflower field did not have anything more than a small sign directing you to it. Cant find it without google when in off-season.

Gorgeous. So many types of sunflowers! There are still a ton of them coming up too! I would guess you can see flowers for another two weeks minimum.

Beautiful place!I love the convenient location of the sunflower fields and I appreciate the nice views. This is a great place for family and photography.

It is an excellent place to go with families and friends. Good place taking phots.

This place was full of energy.. big farm of sunflowers and all looking great. We stayed there for 30-40 mins and clicked some pictures.

This year no sunflowers planted may be due to covid19. Its empty land. But open fields around are used for picnic, relaxing etc..

Come before end of July and you wont regret it! Beautiful park!

Very pretty place. I love that we have the open space to do this in Raleigh.

Great to see all the sunflowers, but they werent in full bloom when we were there. ( 20 July 2019)

The sunflower field was absolutely beautiful! We loved the great informational signage about sunflowers as well.

This was a great experience for kids of all ages!

+1 to amazing things you can don in summer in Raleigh!This year they had sunflower fest in first week of July. This place was full of crowd and enjoyments. They had bus service from NC state centennial campus and parking was provided free in any cemetennial campus parking lot of NC State University. Volunteers were there everywhere to help people visiting.At festiv location there were tons of food trucks and even beer trucks. We could enjoy our favorite Trophie brewing here. Sunflower garden was too lit. As you can see pics, it was too pretty. Many people were having great time with their partners and fur partners. They even had live music playing in grouond and some games were put for enjoyment.** there was no free water! Had to pay 10 bucks in cash for 3 small water bottles, not sure if that person looted us or that was the rate. Good lesson to carry water with you anytime in summer!

What not to love with gorgeous sunflower field, the only thing is visitors should be more considerate not to pick and step on them. Also pay attention to the parking because the field is next to the office buildings, should park at the soccer field parking lot.

Many activities and food trucks. Enjoyed family time. Loved the pleasure hayride.

Beautiful flowers, but make sure you go in the morning before it gets too hot.

Busy, but not as bad as I expected. There’s plenty of parking and plenty of sunflowers for everyone to enjoy. You can also bring dogs (leashes) to the field with you. The sunflowers are beautiful and in bloom. It truly is a sight to see. We saw people taking professional photos there and it seemed like a great idea. The landscape and colors are bright and would really pop in a photo. Even if you just want to stroll outside this is a great place. Against the blue sky the bright yellow hue is worth spending some time there.

Not as many as 2018, they planted and then no rain. It is still great and you should go, but dont expect to be blown away.

If you get the chance to go, I would highly recommend. Its beautiful.

This place is great; this year though they didnt plant Sunflowers due to the pandemic.

Semi bloom. Very hot love the sunflower fields 7/9/19

Its a field with sunflowers, what more can be said. Its a great place to snap a couple pictures.

Awesome open space only available for a few weeks a year. Dont miss it!

Hot! Hot! Hot! Even though it was 100°, the flowers were beautiful & the festival was fun.

Busy, and the sunflowers weren’t actually that tall. Lots of parking but be careful of the uneven dirt parking lot. You could easily bottom out. It might be fun to picnic here. Portapotties were very clean! (Cleaned 7/12/18, the day before we went). You can see the top of the Raleigh skyline

Good place to spend couple of hours

Love this place .....

Beautiful flowers. Will come again next year!

Excellent. Raleigh TAMALE festival good music ; Mariachi,Good food

Such a cool place to have a nice photo op. The only downside is that we visited on a very hot day so the poor sunflowers were a little droopy. Another thing is that the photos make the flowers look much taller but in reality they only came up to like waist high. Regardless, you should go if even just to take a couple of selfies.

Went to the field with my family. We really enjoyed it, the sunflowers are not fully blossomed yet but we will be back for more.

Its a field of sunflowers.

Beautiful day.

Beautiful Sunflowers

Nice sunflowers!

Im sure it is beautiful when there are actually sunflowers I happened to miss out.

Great place for kids exploration!

Awesome to see so many sunflowers and the visit is free. Went with visitors from Atlanta, GA, and they said they have sunflower fields but there is a fee to get in, and a fee to take pictures. So proud of my city for providing such an awesome display of beauty for all to share.

Beautiful!️

Great movie Dirty Dancing under the stars!

Great place any time of year

Sunflowers are my absolute favorite flower! So, of course I love visiting every year. This location is much more convenient that the old one. Great to see the honey bees too!!What a great way to enjoy the Dorothea Dix park! Remember not much shade so if bringing pets and small children, pack plenty of water to stay hydrated

It was everything plus more. I would advise all photographers to go at least once to create beautiful images

Wouldve loved it even more if I went by sooner. The sunflowers looked like theyve seen better days when I got there. Overall, it was a good experience.

Lot of flowers and open space

This place is breath taking!! If you are near the area when they are in bloom you should definitely make it a point to go!!! There is also a great farmers market near by if youre into that.

Its really great that the city does this. A few educational signs, and lots of flowers. Great spot for photos obviously...

Beautiful! A great place to take family photos.

Was pretty and a good festival

Great idea. Just not much going on. Prediction: Say goodbye to Dorothea Dix campus in 10-15 yrs. Itll be mix development. State offices gone

The crop didnt fully develop this year. Last year this time, they bloomed beautifully. Also, the paths to walk the field wasnt as easy to walk this time around. But I was in my happy place so no worries!

Beautiful!

Simply beautiful

So much family fun. Bring cash for the handful of locals who have set up a taco truck or ice cream trucks. And lots of water. Not many shaded areas.

Nice field of sunflowers

Beautiful seasonal bloom in the heart of Raleigh. So good to see this maintained and preserved. If you have an infant with you, beware that there are many bees around thr flowers when walking the trails. Not that they were aggressive but something to be mindful of.

Just love the sunflowers! Such a variety and so excited they were brought back this year. Just gorgeous!

No sunflowers at this time when we went today.. July 2020

One of the best places to visit for few hours during summer

Im so glad we have sunflowers! I miss the old field but understand why they were moved to here. I like theyre so close and parking (legal) is adjacent to the field. Thank you for these gems!

The sunflowers were mostly dead. Weeds growing out of control. But the few sunflowers alive were beautiful!

Thousands sun on the Earth...

So many different sunflowers

So beautiful and peaceful!

Beautiful place to visit even in mid August the flowers are still amazing!

A little serene surreal Slice of Heaven on Earth, bring your camera excellent spot for photo shoots.

Beautiful flowers, good for picture taking. Family friendly, but dont come on a hot day!

We went for a good truck rodeo and a good time on the 4th of July. The food trucks were good, but the lines were massive, the sunflower field itself was really nice and the busses ran timely, but there were no fireworks. It was pretty disappointing, but still a nice evening.

I took my fiancè to here and she loved it I am so glad we got to make it in time before it changed

My wife and I took our kids to a event that was located here and we had a ball, the sunflowers are beautiful and its a great spot if your looking for a place to picnic

This place is so cute! Great for pictures.

Variety of sunflowers and lots of birds in the fields, like Orioles. An enjoyable visit.

The sunflowers were gorgeous, for it being so hot. Most the people on the other hand were rude and didnt care if they were walking in front of your photographer or through your shot.

Awesome place to photograph beautiful flowers. Note very little shade so come prepared

Its beautiful, the sunflowers are smaller than I expected, but its still pretty.

Cool experience and got some great photos.

Excellent place to get some wonderful family photos and great memories.

This is an amazing experience..and is Free!!

Nice place to pics clicked

Beautiful. Amazing... just a brilliant display of nature.

The sunflowers are beautiful, well maintained, and plentiful. In the spring the park has a daffodil area that is also well maintained and beautiful.

Even though its the end of the season, there are still alot of beautiful sunflowers to see!

Very beautiful places just wait later in the day less bees.

One place to visit in Raleigh better by July. Take awesome pics.

Its a fun family trip to look at the sunflowers.

Its a nice distraction. Watch out for the bees

We come sometime we just enjoy the field of sunflowers by Dorothy Dixie. A place to get your mind of things at the moment.

One of the most amazing things Ive ever seen in Raleigh

The sunflowers arent to happy this year. The drought stunted them and delayed blooming. It should be better in another couple of weeks.

Great place to visit and take family photos.

First time experience. Hot day but staff was pretty nice.

So darn hot today but a great time.

Its full of sunflowers. Thats just great !

Whats not to love! Beautiful flowers. Thank you City of Raleigh!

Beautiful field to take pictures & wander around.

Flowers in a field. Good to see if you like that.

Absolutely amazing
