Make a Tour Reservation

Because Lotusland is a public garden operating in a private, residential neighborhood, advance tour reservations are required to visit.

Tour Schedule

Guided tours at 10 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.
Wednesday through Saturday
February 15 through November 15

Admission

Adults: $35; ages 5 to 18, $10; 4 and under, free. Group tours available.

What’s on the tour?

A series of gardens, with subtropical and tropical plants from around the world, draws the visitor from surprise to surprise on the two-hour docent-guided walking tour. The tour includes both horticultural and historical information. There will be time to visit the Garden Shop at the end of the tour.

Bringing children?

Regular tours are appropriate for children ages 10 and over.

Separate Family Tours are available for younger guests and their parents and are approximately one and one half hours long.

Need special assistance?

Please inform a Visitor Services staff member of any special needs when you make your reservation.

Need directions?

Directions and parking instructions are included with the tour confirmation. Do not use MapQuest or similar programs. They will direct you to the wrong gate. (Lotusland’s Visitor Entrance is on a different street from its administrative offices.)
