Visiting sunflower fields are something that we look forward to each summer. And as the sunflower season approaches in Minnesota, we have compiled a list of the sunflowers fields to add to your day trips bucket list for your family to enjoy these gems of nature. All of these are within driving distance of the Rochester area.

We are lucky to have so many sunflower fields around Rochester to visit this season!
