Adult supervision
One adult, senior, or youth can supervise and accompany up to five children 0 to 4 years of age. For example, at least two adults, seniors, or youth must accompany a group of six to ten children in the 0 to 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).
Purchase a ticket for yourself and let a staff member know that your attendant is accompanying you. They will be provided with free admission.

VanDusen Botanical Garden and Bloedel Conservatory offer free general admission to all self-identifying Indigenous Peoples under the Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation’s First Nations, Metis, Inuit (FNMI) Access Policy.
This offer is available in-person at the admission desks.
The FNMI policy is informed by the spirit of Truth and Reconciliation, the Vancouver Park Board’s 11 Reconciliation Strategies, and the City of Vancouver’s UNDRIP Action Plan PDF file (614 KB), specifically Action Group 13: Cultural Access.
We work with Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh to support the right of cultural access, review existing policies, and legislation that are barriers to this right, and recommend necessary changes.
