Affordable admission for the entire family

Regular admission fees

Prices do not include GST.

Information icon One adult, senior, or youth can supervise and accompany up to five children 0 – 4 years of age. For groups of six or more, one adult must be present for every five children in the 0 – 4 age category. This ratio is not applicable for daycares and school groups that have booked through our education department. 

The minimum age to visit the garden without an adult or guardian is 13 years of age (a youth). A 13 year old may visit with younger children and without an adult or guardian present (for example: younger sibling or babysitter).

Admission includes access to the entire 55-acre garden. Kids can ask for a Junior Birder Challenge from our admissions staff and complete the challenge for a prize.
