Docent-led tours are two hours long, filling your entire visit.

Visitors may not walk around on their own after a docent tour as we hold to firm exit times for all reservations.

Yes, wheelchairs and walkers can be accommodated on a slightly modified tour. If you or a member of your party use a wheelchair or walker, please inform a Visitor Services staff member at the time you schedule your tour or select the proper boxes when making your reservation online.

Due to Lotusland’s winding narrow pathways, there are no golf cart tours available.

Lotusland has numerous foreign language speaking Docents, please make a language request in the comments section of the online booking, or call to speak with a reservations associate. We will do our best to find an available Docent on your selected tour date but make no guarantees.

Water fountains are located throughout the Garden and bottled water is available for purchase in the Garden Shop.

Food is not sold at Lotusland and picnicking is not permitted in the Garden.
