• Docent-led tours: Learn all about Lotusland's fascinating history, horticulture, and vast collection through a dynamic docent-led tour. This unique opportunity is highly recommended for first-time visitors and plant enthusiasts. During the tour, expect to walk roughly two miles throughout the entirety of your two-hour visit. There are no additional charges for docent-led tours and are limited, based on availability. Tours start promptly at 9:30 a.m. & 1:30 p.m. and are not guaranteed for late arrivals.
• Gate times Rain or shine, Lotusland's gates open from 9:15 – 9:45 a.m. and 1:15 – 1:45 p.m. Plan to arrive on time as late arrivals will not be permitted (no refunds or reschedules). All guests must exit the Garden at the appointed exit time, even if you have a second reservation for the afternoon. If you are traveling from the South, please plan for traffic.

To cancel or make changes to your reservation, please call our Reservation Department at 805-969-9990 or email visitorservices@lotusland.org.

To receive a refund, notification of cancellation must be received at least one week before the reservation date. Rescheduling and modifications can be made up to 48 hours before the reservation date. No reschedules or refunds are given with notice less than 48 hours before the reservation date or rescheduled more than three times. This policy also applies to member benefits (complimentary visits, guest passes). Lotusland is open rain or shine, therefore, we do not offer refunds or exchanges due to weather.

Reschedules are based on availability, only valid in the current season (cannot roll over reservations or credits to the next season), and rescheduled date is required at the time of cancelation/rescheduling (otherwise not guaranteed).
