GUIDED TOURS

Enjoy exploring the Wildflower Center’s stunning gardens and unique architecture with an expert guide to show you the way. The Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center is a top destination for Austin locals and visitors and boasts Texas’ largest collection of native plants in one spot for your viewing pleasure. A guided tour is a great way to get the most out of your experience here.

Guided tours are available daily from 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. based on space availability. We assign one docent for every 15 people.

Pricing

Guided tours are $75 for every 15 people plus $1 off regular admission per person. So:

15 people or less = $75 plus admission for each person with 1 docent
16 – 30 people = $150 plus admission for each person with 2 docents
31 – 45 people = $225 plus admission for each person with 3 docents
And so on…

Here’s an example in practice: Let’s say you have a group of 5 people made up of 2 adults, 2 seniors and a 15-year-old. The price would be calculated as such:

$75 for the tour + $24 for two adult admissions ($12 each) + $20 for two seniors ($10 each) + $6 for the youth = $125 total cost
