What is timed ticketing?
We have transitioned to a timed ticketing system for admissions. Timed ticketing offers reserved time slots to ensure paced guest arrivals and moderated attendance levels. Each person visiting must reserve or buy a ticket in advance online, including children and garden members. This allows us to safely welcome guests and keep within our guidelines for capacity of our venue. This is the only method for admission at this time.

What health and safety protocols are in place?
In addition to timed tickets, limiting capacity and opening garden features/facilities in phases, the garden regularly cleans/sanitizes doors and surfaces (with the exception of benches and outdoor structures), has hand sanitizer stations available to guests in the lobby, has protective barriers at the front desk, reduced touchpoints for staff and guests, and reminds visitors of proper protocol via signage. Guests ages 5 and over are required to wear a mask inside of the visitor and education center. We ask that guests respect garden staff and other guests by staying at least 6' apart at all times. We kindly ask that guests stay home if they are ill or think they may have been in contact with someone who is/was ill. Let's keep each other healthy and safe.

As a member, how many tickets can I reserve?
Members are allotted the number of tickets based on their current membership level (i.e. Individual = 1, Dual = 2, Family = 2 adults + children). If you have a PLUS ONE membership level, you may reserve 1 ticket for a guest (adult or child). Tickets for additional guests may be purchased by the member using the general admission prices. Members must show their current membership card and ID, along with their e-ticket(s)/printed ticket(s) to be admitted. Please note that membership benefits extend to the named cardholder(s) and are not transferrable.
