Request a College Group Visit

*By Submitting an online request form you acknowledge that you have read and agree to the group reservation disclaimers listed below.

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

*Only Paid orders are finalized. If you don’t have a receipt, then your group order in not finalized. If your group shows up without a group receipt on the day of your visit you will be asked to purchase individual tickets at the regular admission rates at the time of arrival.

– College groups come from educational organizations like community colleges and universities.

– Due to the volume of requests all group order inquiries must fill out an online request form.

-College groups are always self-guided.

– A discounted rate of $8 per person is available for college groups of 10-75 people. Groups larger than 75 please request multiple days.

– 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 reservation may be held for 2 weeks. This holding period reserves your desired visit date/time for 2 weeks.

– Pending reservations that are not paid/finalized within the 2 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.

– 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.

– Group orders are nonrefundable.

– 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.

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

– If your group has a special circumstance please email education3@tucsonbotanical.org.
