Birthday Parties & Events in the Kentucky Children's Garden
The Kentucky Children's Garden will open for the 2024 season on April 3, weather permitting.
The Kentucky Children's Garden is not able to offer after-hour birthday parties. However, you are welcome to schedule a Small Group Visit and celebrate a birthday during our regular hours of operation listed below.
A Small Group Reservation is available for groups of under 30 or 50 people depending on the time of year. While food isn't allowed inside the Kentucky Children's Garden, you may picnic outside the Kentucky Children's Garden.
Small groups visit during our normal hours of operation and share the garden with other visitors. Regular admission rates apply ($4 per person for everyone ages 2 and above); there is free admission for Kentucky Children's Garden season members.
We allow only one Small Group Visit at a time, so you must reserve a date and time in advance. Please fill out the Small Group Request Form to start the reservation process. Once you have filled out the form, please email it to arboretum@uky.edu.
