Our Education Team is pleased to invite your group to enjoy beauty and nature in the rich learning environment at Green Bay Botanical Garden!

$4.50/person
One (1) adult per five (5) students and all teachers are free.

It’s simple: your group, a great learning environment, and as much time as your group wants to spend. Pick up Garden maps and scavenger hunts at the Fischer Visitor Center and wander formal gardens, the Bell Children’s Garden, native plantings, wooded trails, and other areas at your own pace. Self-guided field trips must be arranged at least one week in advance.
While you can submit your Program Inquiry Form at any time, we give priority to requests along this timeline (unless other arrangements have been made):
We will consider requests outside of these timelines, but priority will be given to those requests for the current booking frame first. Requesting within the timeframe does not guarantee that you will get the date or program you desire, but it will help!
Payments for field trips can be made in advance, upon arrival, or invoiced after the trip. Advanced payments can be made by phone with a credit or debit card or by mail with a check. Remember to contact our Education Team if something about your program changes.
If the date or time of a scheduled tour must be changed, contact the Garden at least two weeks prior to your visit. All efforts will be taken to reschedule the visit. However, schedules fill up quickly during spring and fall seasons. If an alternate date cannot be planned, contact our Education Team to request a refund.
The Garden provides a limited amount of financial assistance to schools or organizations that have 40% or more participation in the Federal Free and Reduced Lunch Program (FRLP). Reach out to our Education Team for more information on scholarships.

Students should be dropped off and picked up at the entrance to the Fischer Visitor Center and buses are able to park at the back end of the parking bays.
Include time for your class, teachers, and additional chaperones to assemble before and after your field trip.
Students should dress comfortably for the weather (walking shoes, jacket, etc.). Field trips are held rain or shine, except for severe weather where indoor activities will be substituted at the Garden’s discretion.
Most paths are accessible, but some paths may be uneven in parts of the Garden. Alternative field trip accommodations for students with disabilities are available, with the possibility to utilize the All-Terrain Track Chair from Options for Independent Living. Please inform the Education Team of accessibility needs.
Picnic tables are available on the Mabel Thome Patio on a first-come, first-served basis, but visitors are welcome to eat on the grassy areas within the Garden or parking lots. All garbage must be carried out or brought to a trash receptacle in the Fischer Visitor Center. The Garden is not able to offer indoor lunchroom facilities in case of inclement weather.
