San Antonio's 10-acre Sunflower Field opens for the season

• Hours are 6-9pm on Fridays and 9am-5pm on Saturdays and Sundays.

By the numbers: The field of perfect petals standing tall stretches for about 10 acres near the Traders Village shops.

• Field admission is $11.99. Kids 2 and under are free.

If you go: Since it's a natural setting, you can expect tiny critters crossing through the field. Closed-toe shoes might be a good choice.

• As San Antonio temperatures start their dreadful climb, remember to bring a sun-blocking hat and maybe a handheld fan.
• It wasn't too hot around 6pm and there was still plenty of daylight for pretty pictures.
