During high visitation periods we strongly encourage reserving your ticket in advance online. This guarantees your entry at your designated arrival time. With limited parking due to The Garden of Tomorrow construction, securing your ticket in advance ensures a smoother overall experience for you. Remember, as an NBG member, you can visit any time on any date, as long as parking is available on campus. Thank you for your support!

You’re able to explore the Garden with your canine best friend every Sunday year-round. Members and their dogs are free; Not-Yet-Members’ will pay $5 per dog. Your dog must remain on a leash at all times. Dogs are not allowed in the WOW Children’s Garden and Summer Butterfly House, as well as on our trams and boats. Fresh water is available throughout the Garden to refill your dog’s bowl. Look for indoor and outdoor drinking fountains and bottle refill stations indicated by water droplet icons on the map.
