About this place

A 78-acre garden in Mission Canyon displaying plants native to California. Families walk or hike the network of trails, which wind through different plant habitats and offer views across the surrounding landscape. The grounds include a creek, rope bridges, and tree root features that appeal to young children. Reservations are required for entry.

If you are a member here

A membership to Santa Barbara Botanic Garden carries reciprocal admission, so the same card is worth free or discounted entry at other places in this program.

Reciprocal programs are built for travel and most exclude places close to the one where you hold your membership, so this is worth the most when you are away from home. How reciprocal memberships work
