Garden Pass FAQs

What can I expect when I order a pass?

You can decide whether you want to pick up your pass at the Garden the next time you visit or have your pass mailed to you.

I want to give a pass as a gift. Can you mail it someone else?

Sure! If you would like us to mail your package to an address other than your own, or specify someone else as a passholder, you can indicate this on your order.

What does “unlimited admission” mean?

It means that pass holders can enjoy regular admission to the Garden as many times as they want, within the limits of their pass level, whenever the Garden is open. For Summer Pass holders, that means you can visit anytime we’re open, May 7 through Oct. 10. For Year-Round passholders, you can visit whenever we’re open, all year long. We still have some periods where we’re closed to visitors. Some special ticketed events are excluded – check the website or contact us if you’re not sure.
