Group Experiences
Whether you’re coordinating a visit for your community garden club or planning a field trip, Sunken Gardens offers a variety of group experiences for all ages and interests. Docent-led guided group tours provide guests with an in-depth look at all things Sunken Gardens and self-guided group visits are a great option for groups who want to choose their own adventure.
Complete the appropriate request form at least two weeks prior to your desired visit date.
Requests will be responded to within three business days. Tours must be confirmed by a staff member via email prior to your visit to ensure a docent-led tour. We cannot accommodate groups with buses that have not booked in advance. Groups that show up without booking in advance may be turned away due, in part, to extremely limited bus drop off and pick up space.
Guided Group Tours
During a guided group tour, one of our knowledgeable docents will lead guests on an informative, inspiring, and interactive journey through Sunken Gardens. Your group will learn about the more than 100-year history of the Gardens, the lush tropical plants, and lovable animals.
