Adult Tours

Any group of adults from 10 to 60 persons may schedule a tour of the Gardens. Included is general information about the Gardens, desert adaptations of plants, uses of local plants by Native Americans, herbs, and more. Coverage can be tailored to the group's interests and needs. For groups of less than 10 people, see the self-guided tour publications. Note that all groups of more than 10 people must schedule their visit to the Gardens in advance. For people with mobility limitations, ask about guided tours of the Wheelchair Pathway.

Tour groups are met at the Gardens entrance at the scheduled time. If you arrive early, use the opportunity to peruse information pamphlets, get a drink of water and use the restrooms (the next restrooms are 20 to 30 minutes along the tour!). There is a 15 minute leeway for arrival -- if your group is 15 minutes late, the guided tour is cancelled -- so allow plenty of travel time.

Guided tours are best scheduled one month in advance. Docents are available 9 a.m. to noon and 1 to 3 p.m. Tuesday to Friday. Tours last about an hour, depending on interest and questions. Tours are scheduled on a first come/first served basis.

For adult tours, the cost is $5.00 per person, paid in advance of the tour.
