Dog Days are back! Every Sunday in August your four-legged family member can join you for a walk (and sniff!) in the Garden. Dogs must be controlled by a non-retractable leash at all times and be current on all vaccinations and registrations. For the enjoyment of all, you must clean up after your pet.  

Dog Days are Sundays: August 2, 9, 16, 23 & 30, 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. 

** NOTE**  Advance tickets are required. Admission is FREE for Garden members and member dogs. Regular admission $8 for ages 13+; $4 for ages 3-12; children 2 and under are free. $4 per dog for non-members.  

Advance tickets are via timed entry slots: 10 a.m. - noon, 1-3 p.m., and 3-5 p.m. No admission to Garden between noon and 1 p.m. 
(You can arrive anyime during your time slot and do not need to leave before it ends (except when the Garden closes at 5 p.m. In the event of inclement weather, you may request change of ticket date within 7 days of your originally scheduled vist. Tickets not used will be considered a donaton to the Garden.) 

Remember to select admission tickets and then add ticket for your dog(s) under Dog Days (scroll past all General Admission dates). Members must log in for free reservations/tickets.
