  • Self-Guided Adult/Senior Group Visit Request

    *Group visits are not confirmed until a Sunken Gardens team member sends you confirmation via email. Please allow 3 business days to receive a response to your request.
  • Important Details

    • Must be reserved at least one week in advance for groups of 10 or more.
    • Groups of less than 10 people do not need to book in advance and will pay regular admission. The self-guided group admission discount only applies to groups of 10 or more.
    • We strongly suggest splitting up into groups of approx. 10 people while walking through the Gardens. Our historic paths are quite narrow, and smaller group sizes make for a more pleasant experience.

    Please note: We cannot accommodate groups with buses that have not booked in advance. Buses that arrive without a confirmed booking may be turned away due, in part, to extremely limited bus drop off and pick up space.

  • Contact Information

  • Please provide the contact information for the group leader who will be on-site with your group on the day of your visit:

  • Requested Date & Times

    Group visits may start between 10 am (12 pm on Sundays) and 3 pm. The Gardens close at 4:30 pm.

    Group visits typically last 2 hours total (including time in the gift shop).

  • Accessibility & Accommodations

    Most of our historic paths are ADA accessible. Wheelchairs/walkers are allowed but not provided. Some paths have a steep incline, but there are alternate ways to access all areas. Limited seating is located throughout.

  • Parking

    We offer free standard vehicle parking, however spaces are limited and fill quickly.

    We cannot easily accommodate bus parking during peak months of Oct. – May. (You will receive bus parking details after a staff member has confirmed your tour).

  • Dining Options

    Carrabba’s Italian Grill is located in our historic 1926 entrance building. (Reservations for Carrabba’s may be made by calling 727-897-9375). Panera Bread and Outback Steakhouse are directly across 4th Street, and many additional dining options are located only a short drive away.

    Groups are welcome to bring picnic lunches to enjoy during their visit. Picnic lunches in our shaded amphitheater must be coordinated in advance for groups of 10 or more. Packed lunches should be kept in coolers that are easy for you to roll/carry to our outdoor picnic areas. 

  • Complimentary Scavenger Hunt

    For no additional charge, you can request an all-ages picture scavenger hunt for your self-guided group that will be provided on the day of your visit. (Click here to view an example).

    Group visit admission is to be paid in-person as one lump sum on the day of your visit. We do not accept advance payments at this time. The following calculation is an estimate and subject to change.
