Availability and Bookings
The Garden offers guided tours and customized programs for groups! Please use the form below to let us know you are interested in a tour or a private class program. Please call us at 608-576-2501 or email to info@allencentennialgarden.org with any additional questions.
Full payment and headcount must be received at least 1 week prior to your event. Any additional attendees added after the final payment must be paid for at the time of the tour.*
*Final payment non-refundable. Refunds will not be granted for changes in attendance.
Guided vs. Self-Guided Tours
Guided tours are led by a student intern, Garden staff member or the Executive Director. All guided tours require a reservation.
Self-guided tours do not require a reservation and do not include any docents. However, it is strongly recommended you call ahead of time to ensure your group’s visit doesn’t conflict with any other Garden activities.
Private Programs
We also offer private programs for groups. These include flower pounding, flower crowns, creating with dried flowers, dyeing with plants, and more!
We highly recommend selecting a program rather than a tour for children under 12. Individual program rates vary from $5-$55. Please reach out using our form below for more information about possible options.

I’m reaching out to share a heartfelt thank you for hosting such a wonderfully engaging program this week with Grandparent’s University! My daughters and mother couldn’t stop talking about how much they enjoyed exploring the green houses with all the different plants, searching for seeds, and creating art with flowers. My mother is retired teacher and she spoke so highly of the activity and facilitation by your team. Bravo!
