Garden Admission

Our gardens are open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. every day, with physical distancing guidelines in effect. Admission is $10 adults, $8 seniors 65+, $5 youth 6-17, and free for members, volunteers, UCSC students, and children under 6. Enjoy a year of free admission when you become a member today!

Appointments are not required to visit our gardens. Please note that if you also purchase plants, appointments are required for curbside pickup.

We offer two options for paying admission:

  • Pay ahead of time online and retain your receipt as proof of payment, valid for one visit.
  • Pay onsite by depositing cash or check payable to UC Regents in one of our paytubes.
