A-MAZE-ZING Sunflower??? the First Ever Sunflower Maze in the Philippines
Are you planning to go to the A-MAZE-ZING Sunflower in Tayug, Pangasinan? You probably need to know this information and tips.
Announcement:
For the information of everybody, Allied Botanical Corporation announced that starting March 1, the sunflower bloom will begin to wither and fall. However, the maze, the edible and flower garden herb patch and vegetable showcase will remain open. 2nd set of bloom to open by 3rd week of March. Though the maze will still be open, you cannot witness the sunflowers in full bloom. It will be advisable to visit on the 3rd week of March since as of today, as I write this, the sunflowers are starting to wither.
From ABC’s Facebook Page
How to Go There: Ride a bus from Cubao to Tayug, drop by Sta. Maria and take a tricycle to Allied Botanical Corporation at Brgy. C. Lichauco.
Travel Time: 3-4 hours
Budget: Approximately P1100 ( Bus 350×2 way fare, Tricycle 50×2 way fare, 100 Entrance Fee, 200 Food)
Best Time to Visit: Weekday or early morning on the weekend. People started to get thick at 9 am during weekends. Better to come early to enjoy the view and have a chance to do your OOTD pictorial with fewer people around.
Recommended Outfit: Warm cotton and comfortable clothes because the heat of the sun is scorching hot this summer season. Preferably shorts and tees ( something that will dry up easily when you sweat). Don’t forget to bring umbrella or cap.
Availability of Food Within the Area: You do not need to worry for there are enough food stalls standing along side of the farm where visitors could have snacks and lunch. Prices of food vary but still affordable.
So do you think you are ready? Prepare your OOTD for the 2nd set of bloom to open by 3rd week of March. Enjoy the A-MAZE-ZING Sunflower, the first ever sunflower maze in the country!

If ever you want a side trip, visit Our Lady of Manaoag Church.
Our Lady of Manaoag Church
How to Go There from ABC: Ride a tricycle to Sta. Maria, take a jeepney and drop to Carmen where buses to Manaog are stationed.
Fare: P50 tricycle, P30 jeepney, P45 bus
Travel Time: 1-1.5 hrs
What to Do: Reflect and pray, light candles for your departed loved ones, make 3 wishes and come back when any of them came true (according to devotees).
There you go, A-MAZE-ZING Sunflower and Manaoag Church in just one day for an almost Php1300 budget. Amazing indeed! 🙂

I’ve always wanted to travel abroad. When I think of flowers, I always think of the Netherlands. Now I have another destination to add to my bucket list. I’m curious about “street” foods from other countries.I wonder what is served at the farm.

How fun is this?! It would be a great way to spend a day. We live in Iowa and every year we take the kids to something similar .. but instead a maze in sweet corn. The church looks great too and I love the wishing well. Wouldn’t you love to know all of the wishes that have been made over the years?

I love this – i have neighbors that have sunflower gardens and have tried a couple of times – but this is inspiring me to give it another go – thank you

Go ahead! I planted few dwarfs too. I’m not really a green thumb but I’m giving it a try. 🙂

I would love to visit a sunflower maze! Your pictures are incredible. Too bad we don’t have anything like that in Las Vegas. Will be adding this to my spring/summer road trip bucketlist.
March 24, 2017 @ 10:32 am
Yay! Sunflowers are amazing. In fact I planted dwarfs because of my fascination.

I have never been to the Philippines but I have an acquaintance that lived there. I didn’t know that the sunflower blooms in March. I also didn’t know that they had such a short lifespan.
March 24, 2017 @ 7:50 pm
Maybe because of the hot and humid weather during Feb-May in Phils. Me too I did not know they have short life span. yay. 🙂

I love sunflowers! They make me think of hot, summer days and sunshine. This sounds like a really neat place to check out. I had no idea on the lifespan of these amazing flowers either!
March 25, 2017 @ 7:36 am
This place is really amazing. I never thought there’s a place here in the Philippines where sunflowers live and grow a lot. Hope we can visit it soon!

I love these sunflower and the place as well! It is very hard to find these kind of places over here..

The the A-MAZE-ZING Sunflower sounds like it would be a great place to visit. I would love to check out the sunflower maze. It would be something fun to do for the whole family. Thanks for sharing the information.

We love sunflowers and enjoy how big they grow. Just a side note your subscribe button would disappear and i couldn’t comment until I subscribes. Kind of annoying

Sunflowers are so beautiful and that place has a ton of them. I would of never thought the Philippines would have Sunflowers. What a neat day trip.

We have lots of them, hybrid, dwarfs etc.?

Wow, I didn’t even know you had sunflowers in that part of the world. I love Sunflower mazes in Central Europe, so awesome to get lost in 🙂
April 2, 2017 @ 3:52 am
Sunflowers have always been one of my most favorite flowers. So beautiful! I would love to take my family there and enjoy such beauty as well as the maze!
April 2, 2017 @ 4:53 am
This would be such a fun activity to do with the kids. We would love to do a maze of flowers like this! I wish we were closer to this place.
April 2, 2017 @ 6:46 am
How fun is that maze?!? We had a cornfield maze where I used to live, butcher this is so much prettier!!
April 2, 2017 @ 10:05 am
I love sunflowers. It’s funny, they’re not necessarily the prettiest flower, but there is just something peaceful about them.
April 3, 2017 @ 1:33 am
Sunflowers are amazing. I have never added Netherlands into my bucket list to be visited but this garden has drawn my attention.
April 3, 2017 @ 9:25 am
What a beautiful place to visit. I think corn mazes, hay mazes or sunflower mazes are super fun.
April 3, 2017 @ 9:49 am
Looks like an incredible trip. Sunflowers are one of my favorites the only shade of yellow I like:)
April 3, 2017 @ 10:09 am
How beautiful! I love sunflowers, they always amaze me with how tall they get.
April 3, 2017 @ 11:08 am
Who doesn’t love sunflowers?! I should visit this place with my hubby when we go back to the Philippines. Great post! 😀
April 3, 2017 @ 7:31 pm
Wow this is SO much better than a corn maze. How absolutely beautiful – I would love to visit!

I would love to visit this farm! I love sunflowers, always buy them from local market!
