Looking for a memorable group experience rooted in exploration, learning, and time outdoors?
Wanderwood Gardens offers a one-of-a-kind setting for group visits designed to inspire curiosity, creativity, confidence, and connection with nature.
Beginning Summer 2026, we'll welcome schools, educational programs, camps, community organizations, and other organized groups to our immersive garden spaces and hands-on discovery areas.
Group trips are available after June 2026 and must be reserved in advance.
Availability may be limited and will depend on garden hours, seasonal programming, and group size.
