If you’re looking for a bucolic getaway, the Mohonk Tulip Festival deserves a spot on your spring calendar.
From April 28th to May 9th, the gorgeous Victorian castle perched on a Hudson Valley mountaintop will dazzle its visitors with thousands of gorgeous tulips — in addition the 40,000 acres of surrounding forest. And believe it or not, this idyllic retreat is only 90 minutes from our beloved concrete jungle.
Like the resort’s garden, you can color us intrigued!
All about Mohonk Tulip Festival 2025
While of course the main draw of the tulip festival is the blooms themselves, Monhonk takes the experience up a notch and delights visitors with floral-inspired activities: teas and cookies, cocktail demonstrations, campfires, crafts, and garden tours. Additionally, guests can expect a rotating calendar of daily activities to accompany their stay: lectures, music, and more. If there’s anything we enjoy as much as a walk through a garden, it’s sipping a springtime tea and munching on cookies as we admire the view.
Booking a stay will not only invite you to take a brief respite in nature, but relax from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Each reservation entitles guests to access to an indoor pool, tennis courts, show gardens, and a spa. (Mohonk is among the top wellness retreats in New York.) Might as well make the most of your trip, right?
If you’re thinking about making the trip, visit the Monhonk website to book. There is a two-night minimum stay required.
While we highly encourage a li’l getaway, there are also plenty of floral events to enjoy in the city as well, including the Westside Garden Community Tulip Festival, happening weekends from April 12th to April 27th.
