School Group Visits: Discovery Trail

This fall, bring your school group (of any age!) on a free, self-guided visit to the Discovery Garden. Our volunteer Discovery Docents will lead hands-on activity stations throughout this area of the Garden. Be sure to explore our meadow, woodland, and marsh habitats, too!

For each time slot, there is a maximum class size of 30 students. We request a minimum ratio of 1 adult per 10 students, and we will divide classes into smaller groups upon arrival.

School groups must register in advance for Discovery Garden access at these times.

All programs are outdoors and will be canceled in inclement weather, which includes rain and temperatures below 50 degrees. Check this page and your inbox for updates. Questions? Email [email protected].

Fall registration for Discovery Trail programs will open on Saturday, August 1, 2026.

This registration includes a ticket for school group Garden admission any time after 10 a.m. and Discovery Garden admission at the selected time slot. Maximum group size is 30 students plus teachers and chaperones.

If Discovery Trail time slots are full, your class may still register to visit the rest of BBG on a Self-Guided School Group Visit. All groups may explore the Discovery Garden after 12:30 p.m. on Discovery Trail program days.
