Timed Admission


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.)

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:
