Get Tickets
KNOW BEFORE YOU GO
- All tickets are online ONLY (no walk-ups). You choose an arrival time. Children under age 3 do not need a ticket.
- Garden members must reserve their free tickets. Please avoid “no-shows” as it prevents others from being able to visit.
- Read our measures in place for your safety, including face coverings required indoors and strongly suggested outdoors. Exceptions: children under age 10 and those with medical conditions (if so, please physically distance at all times for the safety of all).
- See “What To Expect”(below) and our frequently asked questions to ensure there are no surprises and you make the most of your visit!
YOUR TICKET
Tickets are non-refundable and non-transferable. The Garden is open rain or shine and only closed for severe inclement weather. Any weather-related closings are posted to lewisginter.org or social media.- On your first visit to the new online ticketing system, you will be prompted to create an account with your email address, password and contact information. Members, you do not use your membership account to purchase tickets; ticketing and membership are two separate systems.
- Members, you can reserve the same number of tickets as corresponds to your membership type. For example, an individual member can reserve one ticket. A dual member can reserve two. A family member can reserve 2 adults and up to 6 kids tickets. Friends members can reserve up to 4 adult and 8 kids tickets. Not a member yet? It may be your best deal; learn more about member benefits.
