Green Bay Botanical Garden celebrates the diversity we see in all forms of life, from the plants in the ground to the people connecting with nature. We welcome everyone to the Garden, people of all abilities, backgrounds, races, religions, ages, cultures, genders, and sexual identities. We’re committed to providing a sense of belonging for all people.
Similar to our Horticulture Team tending to the flowers, trees, shrubs, and other plants in the Garden, we acknowledge that we need to continually reflect and adapt what we do to ensure we uphold our commitment to you. If you have questions, suggestions, or feedback on how we can better accommodate you and other guests in our community, please reach out to us at 920.490.9457 or info@gbbg.org.
We continue to strive to create a place where everyone can connect with plants!
UserWay Web Tool
If you require assistance while navigating our website (bigger text, color contrast, line spacing, etc.), we encourage you to check out our UserWay Web Tool.

Approximately 20 of the Garden’s 47 acres of garden areas have paved walkways (marked gray and labeled paved/wheel-friendly path on the map) and are accessible to visitors with mobility needs. The more rustic areas of the Garden offer natural paths (pavers, crushed gravel, grass, or wood chips) that may present challenges to those using walkers, wheelchairs, or other mobility aids. The Schneider Family Grand Garden provides an accessible blacktop route as noted on the map.
Wheelchairs and motorized scooters are available for free on a first-come, first-served basis to guests in need from April 1-November 1. Strollers and pull-behind wagons for kids are always welcome.
An elevator is also available to all guests in the Fischer Visitor Center (located in the hallway connecting the Visitor Center and the Schneider Education Center). Motorized scooters and larger strollers/wagons will not fit into the elevator.
Admission to the Garden is $15 for adults, $5 for youth (ages 3-17), and free for Garden members.
Children 2 and under are free. The Garden offers discounts for seniors, military, and students with a school ID.
Museums for All: Reduced Admission Program
The Garden is proud to partner with Museums for All. Through this program, those receiving food assistance (SNAP benefits) can get reduced admission when they present their EBT card.
Visit our Guest Experience Team to receive admission for $1 per person (ages 0-2 are free). Up to four people per family. This offer is not valid for WPS Garden of Lights, the Grand Concert Series, and other events.
The Garden offers complimentary admission to paid and unpaid personal care attendants assisting guests with disabilities during their visit.
Guests can find a wheelchair-accessible, gender-inclusive, family restroom in the lower level of the Schneider Education Center, next to the drinking fountain.
Changing stations are available in all restrooms in the Fisher Visitor Center and in the Concessions Building on the WPS Foundation Plaza.
Breastfeeding is welcome in all areas. Although there’s no separate lactation area, seating is available in the lower level of the Fischer Visitor Center and throughout the Garden. Need a private space? See our Guest Experience Team.
Help us beat plastic pollution by using your own empty water bottle or purchasing a reusable one in the WPS Trellis Gift Shop. Fill up at the hydration stations by the restrooms before heading into the Garden.
Service animals are welcome, but please leave pets and Emotional Support Animals (ESAs) at home. Please let us know you have a service animal when you arrive so we can make our staff aware. View frequently asked questions about service animals and the ADA.
Guests in need of a quiet space may enjoy outdoor spots like the Johnson Woodland Garden or Wood Memorial Grove, which are located in the tree-covered area next to the Arendt Conifer Garden and Schneider Family Grand Garden. Our Guest Experience Team can point the locations out on our map or even walk you to those areas when you arrive.
Parking is free and available to guests on a first-come, first-served basis.
Accessible parking spaces are available in parking bay 2, directly across from the circle drive and entrance to the Garden. Guests who use wheelchairs or have mobility needs can be dropped off at the entrance to the Fischer Visitor Center in the circle drive where they can wait to meet the rest of their group.
Although the Garden isn’t directly serviced by Green Bay Metro, route 6 stops at multiple locations nearby.
The Garden also provides bike racks for bicycle storage during your visit outside the NWTC Landscape Horticulture Building.
Our educators enjoy working with a wide range of educational levels, and we can work with you to tailor learning experiences to specific needs upon request.
