Tanners Orchard’s Sunflower Festival for Aurora IL Residents is an Annual Favorite
There’s something majestic about a sunflower field in full bloom. With their thick green stems and golden petals that extend to the sky, they’re a sight you don’t want to miss. It’s what inspired Tanners Orchard to create a sunflower festival for Aurora IL residents and all of Illinois. Known as the Sunflower Experience, Tanners Orchard offers you the opportunity to be immersed from breakfast till sundown. Come for the magic but stay for all Tanners Orchard has to offer for the entire family.
A Taste of the Orchard, Plus Something to Take Home
Everyone who comes to the Sunflower Experience can take home one flower with them after the event. You can pick and purchase extra sunflowers, too. We also invite you to take photos that will allow you everlasting reminders of a glowing experience. On the day of the Sunflower Experience, those who are early risers can experience breakfast out in the fields. This early access to the sunflower fields comes with a meal and early access to the Back 40 Fun Acres, pony, and barrel train rides.
After you’re done soaking up the beauty of the sunflowers, it’s time for the entire family to enjoy the Back 40 Fun Acres. There are plenty of opportunities for adults and kids to play and explore. In fact, we bring out the barrel train and pony rides for the Sunflower Experience, too. It’s a sunflower festival for Aurora IL families that we promise you’ll never forget.
Get the Full Tanners Orchard Experience
In addition to breakfast in the field, sunflower picking, and photo opportunities, the entire orchard will be opened during the Sunflower Experience. You and your family will be able to shop the Farm Market, Apple Bin Bakery, and fudge kitchen. There, you can pick up all sorts of delicious treats whose ingredients have been grown on site. We offer 11,000 U-Pick apple trees with 17 varieties of apples and over 20 acres of pumpkins that you can take home, too.
