*If the reservation process has not been followed, the Gardens will reserve the right to deny admission to the group.

– Youth groups are Pre-K through High School and include Home School groups.

– Due to the volume of requests all group order inquiries must fill out an online request form. Requests are processed in the order they are received.


– Field Trips are Self-Guided: Make the most of your trip by checking out our teacher resources!


– Group orders are nonrefundable.


– Initial requests are placed in our system as a pending reservation. You will receive a pending reservation email from a staff member with instructions on how to finalize your reservation. Read through the emailed instructions carefully. Your order number and payment link are included in this email. After you submit payment you will receive a group receipt to present to admissions on the day of your visit, and a finalized order email with day of visit information and instructions.


– PENDING RESERVATIONS ARE HELD FOR 3 WEEKS. This holding period reserves your desired visit date/time for 3 weeks.


– Pending reservations that do not submit a Purchase Order (PO), or make payment within the 3 week holding period will become available for others to reserve. At that time we can no longer guarantee the date/time you initially requested will be available.


– PAYMENT IS REQUIRED PRIOR TO YOUR VISIT-THIS INCLUDES SCHOOL GROUPS UTILIZING PURCHASE ORDERS (PO’s). For those paying with a PO – the PO will reserve your date/time, however payment must be received by the deadline indicated in your pending order email. In general the absolute latest you can finalize a group order is the day prior to your visit by 9am. If your visit falls on a Monday, payment is due the Friday prior to your Monday visit by 9am.


– To be eligible for a group rate, the group must make one lump sum payment. Payment is required to finalize a reservation. Non-payment by the deadline indicated in your pending order email will result in cancellation of the pending order.


– A discounted rate of $5 per person is available for youth groups of 10-75 people. Groups larger than 75 please request multiple days.


– Latecomers, and/or additional attendees joining your group on the day of your visit will purchase individual tickets at the general admissions rate and not the discounted group rate. No refunds are offered if fewer people show than initially paid for in your group order. Please submit an accurate count in your request form. Your count may be adjusted up until you pay/finalize your order. After a group order has been paid/finalized it can’t be changed.


– We require 1 chaperone for every 5 children (the ratio requirement is non-negotiable).


– Group visits are not available during the evening or special events.


– Group rates exclude all other discounts: such as, but not limited to; Chase Cards, 2 for 1 coupons, Tucson Passport or hotel rack cards.
