Group and Education Tours

School groups

PLEASE NOTE: Guided Adaptation tours are fully booked for this school year. Tour reservations for the 2010/2011 school year will be posted in August. 

All school groups can make a reservation for a self-guided visit Tuesday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. We can not accommodate classes with more then 35 students.

All San Francisco public and private school groups have free admission to the Conservatory with advance reservations. Fees for school groups outside San Francisco city limits are as follows: youth ages 12-17 are $5.00; university/college students are $5.00; children ages 5-11 are $2.00; children ages 4 and under are admitted for free.

Note: All school groups must have a 1:7 ratio of staff/chaperone to student. To encourage parental participation, chaperones are admitted for free.

Group visits
Groups are welcome to visit the Conservatory of Flowers Tuesday through Saturday. We recommend booking your reservation from 11 a.m. and after during the school year. When school is out of session, we recommend booking your reservation from 9 a.m. to 12 noon. Admission cost is $7.00 for adults, and $5.00 for seniors 65 and over. There are no group discounts.

To make a reservation, send an e-mail with subject list "Reservation Request" to info@sfcof.org and include the following information: group name, contact name and phone number, date of trip, time, number of people in group and whether or not you would like a docent led tour.

We will check availability and e-mail a confirmation. If your group is smaller than 15, you will not need a reservation. Please note: Groups larger than 15 who do not pre-book may encounter entry lines. We do not recommend group visits on Sunday as all roads in Golden Gate Park are closed to vehicle traffic.
