Free Senior Day | April 15, 2026

Fresh air, open space, and the quiet beauty of California’s native plants — free Senior Days are designed with you in mind. Guests 60 and older receive free admission on select days throughout the year, made possible by the continued generosity of Welch-Ryce-Haider Funeral Chapels.
It’s a chance to spend time outside, learn something new, and take in the changing seasons across the Garden’s living collection. Come for a walk, stay for the calm, and leave feeling refreshed.
