Know Before You Go
Plan Your Garden Visit!
The garden is open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., with Sofia's Play Garden closing at 4:30 p.m.
Picnic Areas
We love picnics, but they must be enjoyed in designated areas. If you pack a lunch or a snack, please plan to eat it at the tables by the front ponds or at Kenefick Park. We do not allow picnicking or outside food in the garden (with the exception of Tempo of Twilight concerts).

In order to expedite garden entry, all guests are encouraged to secure an advance ticket online, but they are not required for daytime visits. Advance tickets are good for an entire day and guests may arrive at their convenience.
