Thanks to support from the Community Foundation of Elkhart County, we are able to offer free admission to Elkhart County residents (up to a $10 value per person) on Tuesdays from April-December!

NOTE: if you are not an Elkhart County resident, or do not provide proof of residency, you will be subject to admission fees.

Please choose the date you'd like to visit (in teeny tiny print, it will say "other dates"; click that to choose future dates), and enter your information to save your spot!

You can arrive any time that day (no need to arrive right when we open) up until our last admission for the day, which happens 30 minutes before we close. All guests must exit the Gardens by closing time, no exceptions!

Applicable Days/Hours:
Jan-March: 12-5 p.m., (Sundays, weather permitting, last admission 4:30 p.m.)
April-October: 10 a.m.-6 p.m. (Tuesdays, last admission 5:30 p.m.)
November-December 17: 12-5 p.m. (Tuesdays, last admission 4:30 p.m.)

When you arrive at our Cottage, you'll show your email confirmation "ticket" (it's fine to show it from your phone) and proof of Elkhart County residency for all adults in your party to gain free admission. Anyone who does not show proof of residency will be subject to admission charges.

OK, now for the fine print:
- Food may not be brought in to the Gardens.
- Lawn chairs may not be brought in to the Gardens. We have plenty of benches to rest on!
- Bags are subject to search.
- Photography permits are required for posed & commercial photography.
- Dogs are not allowed in the Gardens, unless they have a registration, which can be purchased as an add-on to a human Wellfield membership. Ask our staff for more info!
- Smoking/vaping is not allowed anywhere on our property.
- Running, sports equipment, scooters or bikes are not allowed in the Gardens.

If you enjoy your visit, please consider making a donation to the Gardens. Ask our staff or volunteers how! Donations support our mission and help us continue providing a quality experience for all.

As always, Wellfield members receive free general admission every day. WELLFIELD MEMBERS DO NOT NEED TO REGISTER. Please have your membership card & ID ready to show our staff & volunteers. We may not always recognize you!

Don't want to have to register in advance, and want to save on tickets to our events and classes, and visit other Gardens for free? Consider a membership! Just ask our staff what your options are, or click here: Become a Wellfield member!
