Hours

The Garden is open to the public from Dawn to Dusk. Admission is free, and all are welcome.

Parking

There are two-hour timed parking stalls (mobile pay “meters” that do not accept coins) on Babcock Drive, as well as a parking ramp (Lot 36) on Observatory Drive.

Bathrooms

The Garden does not have a public restroom, but the neighboring campus buildings are open to the public. There is a portable restroom in the Northwest corner of the Garden from the middle of April through early October.

Dogs

Well-behaved, four-legged friends are welcome on your Garden visit. We ask that dogs remain on leash and on the path at all times.

Seating

There are benches throughout the garden, each with its own unique view. See if you can find your favorite!
