Spanning 66 acres just off White Rock Lake, the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden was chosen as one of the South\u2019s best botanical gardens by Southern Living<\/em> and a top botanical garden by USA Today<\/em>\u2019s 10Best program. Home to more than 1.4 million plants, the Botanical Gardens have reopened from their temporary closure (as of November 2020) and have begun welcoming guests again.<\/p>\n

The Dallas Arboretum also offers many advantages for people visiting in groups. If you want to bring your class<\/a> or your corporate team<\/a> to the gardens, you\u2019ll receive discounted admission as well as group meals, optional guided tours, and free charter bus parking. And if it\u2019s free to park a charter bus, you might as well book one and keep your entire group together, right?<\/p>\n

Group Admission<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re in a group of 10 or more people, you can save money on admission and parking. When you book group tickets online in advance, you\u2019ll pay $9-$14 per person (depending on season), receive a 10% discount at the gift shop, and get free parking for your tour bus<\/a>. Just make a note that you have a charter bus with you when you book online.<\/p>\n

You can also add a guided tour or a meal to your group reservation. You\u2019ll need to email groupsales@dallasarboretum.org<\/a> 2 weeks before your trip to book a guided tour and 3 days before your trip to book meals. Guided tours can last anywhere from 45 minutes to 2 hours, and for meals, you can choose between a seated lunch or a box lunch. The prices for group tours or meals per person are:<\/p>\n

Guided tours:\u00a0 $7<\/p>\n

Box lunch: \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 $15<\/p>\n

Seated lunch:\u00a0 $33<\/p>\n

Group tickets do come with a few conditions, though. They\u2019re nonrefundable, so you\u2019ll need to know exactly when you can go. Discounts are only valid through the Dallas Arboretum website, and your reservation isn\u2019t confirmed unless you receive an email. You also need to make sure you show up on time if you want a guided tour, because if your group is more than 30 minutes late your tour may be canceled.<\/p>\n

General Dos and Don\u2019ts<\/h2>\n

The Dallas Arboretum has a large number of regulations to protect its plants and the people visiting. It\u2019ll probably help to check out some basic dos and don\u2019ts before you arrive with your group:<\/p>\n
