Group Tour Request

Group Tour Request

*Group tours 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
- Group tours must be reserved at least 2 weeks in advance and are available to groups of 10 or more.
- Tours are 1 to 1.5 hours long and offer insight into our tropical flora, exotic birds, and 100+ year history.
*Tours are not guaranteed as they are based on volunteer docent participation. In the rare instance we cannot obtain the required docents for your group we will let you know as soon as we can. In this case, your visit may be fully or partially self-guided and the self-guided group discount of $1 off each admission will be applied.

**Youth groups - We are currently all booked for youth guided tours during the 2025-2026 school year. Self-guided youth group visits are still available.

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.
