No food or drink is allowed to be brought into Botanica, but tour recipients receive a free popcorn and a hot cocoa. Park in the north parking lot and enter at the main (original) entrance.
General admission is $19, buy online or in person, and opens to the general public at 5:30 pm. However, Botanica members may purchase up to six tickets at the discount price of $15. Interested persons must contact me, by reply email or text me at 316-573-9934 as soon as possible to be one of the lucky riders or for a discounted ticket.
