"Has anyone seen lightning Has anyone looked lovely…read moreAnd the daffodils looked lovely today" (Dolores O'Riordan -The Cranberries) This is a mixed review for a few reasons. The first reason may not be the Daffodil Festival's fault, but our initial impression of the festival took a serious hit when our GPS told us where to exit I-691 and immediately ran into a detour that prevented us from taking the necessary right turn to get to the designated parking lots. Where were the detour signs from/for the Daffodil Festival helping would be customers figure out how to get there? Where were the LED message boards that I see every year at the Traveler's Open helping to direct traffic? Where was anything that would have helped us a perplexed would be visitor like me? We ended up getting back onto 691 and the next exit took us to the parking lots, but we just kind of lucked into that on our own. And to be honest, we came THISCLOSE to saying "screw it" and bailing. Then things went a lot better. There is no parking on the festival grounds, but shuttle buses can pick you up at either the Meriden Mall or one of three schools. We parked at the high school and after a short wait, got onto a school bus for the ride to Hubbard Park and the festival. We walked in around 1:00 and the festival was very crowded, nothing more crowded than the massive line to get tickets for the food stations. The line was so big, we looked at each other and agreed on the spot it wasn't worth the wait to get a burger or a dog or a slice. But we did spend a lot of time walking through the festival grounds, visiting with the vendors, and strolling around beautiful Hubbard Park. I'm glad we went, the daffodils were in full bloom and were quite beautiful, we enjoyed chatting with the vendors and some of the live music, and the sights around Hubbard Park and Craig Castle. Hope you have a better experience than we did.

I LOVE this festival. My family goes every year. However!!!

I've been coming here for a few years and I can't believe I've yet to review it! I recently decided…read moreto pull some pictures with my camera since I felt it was the right time, they had great options available. The ambiance always feels like fall here too, even in other seasons. I went to grab a 6 count of their apple cider donuts without sugar coating and a pack of their apple fritter bites coated with sugar, truly one of my favorites! I can vouch for their pies as well as their other flavored donuts as I've tried mostly all of them through time. While taking pictures, I stumbled upon something I've been missing on trying which was their apple cider slushie running at $2 each, they are self serve. It was so good, you can't pass that or their fresh apple cider for a $1 a cup, also self serve. This establishment is most definitely a long time local hidden gem, a favorite for many! They have apple picking available, apples for sale inside, as well as pies, more donuts, & a plethora of other fall items to purchase. Some staff members do seem friendlier than others but I try my best to never judge as my experiences still have continuously gone well. Go show this establishment some love and support! Thankful to have this place nearby.

The walk can depend on where you parked, but it seemed we were at one of the furthest points and still didn't have to walk too far. It's a bigger space than I expected. There are a lot of bars available so the wait for a drink isn't too bad. They offer margaritas in a cute little take-home plastic shaker. The seats are kind of tight, so depending on what type of show you're going to I would just be mindful. The bathroom was very clean and all of the staff was Hella friendly.

It's advertised as open to members and their guests, but I'm sure if you wanted to come check it out, you can come without a member.
