For all Group Tours
Larger groups may be split into smaller groups, with each one receiving a guide (if required or requested). Additional guide fees will apply for adult groups.
Smaller groups may also book a tour, however, please note:
- Adult groups for fewer than 10 people will pay general admission + $60 guide fee.
- Family & Youth groups for fewer than 8 people will pay $72.
Some of our trails are wheelchair & stoller accessible. Please discuss your group's needs with your booking representative.
All tours and programs are mainly held outside, and will go ahead unless you choose to cancel, or it is not safe to do so. Garden staff reserves the right to cancel programs if they feel there is a safety concern.
ALL GROUP TOURS NEED TO BE PRE-BOOKED
