Escape the holiday bustle and express your gratitude for nature with a visit to California Botanic Garden on "Green Friday," November 28, 2025.

A limited number of free tickets are available for public general admission, so reserve your spot today! Interested in supporting access to CalBG's Living Collection and educational programming? You can also make a small donation at checkout. These donations will help ensure that we can continue to offer educational outreach, free and discount tickets on free days and through programs like Museum for All, and classes and events that connect visitors to the beauty and biodiversity of California native plants.

Admission tickets for the public (non-members) are valid for the entire day during our opening hours: there is no specific entry time or duration of your visit.

The Grow Native Nursery is open on Friday, November 28th from 9 AM to 4 PM. Stop by to pick up some native plants or seeds to give as gifts or appreciate all year in your own yards.

Members enter the Garden for free, without a reservation. Want to receive free admission every day? Become a CalBG member! Annual memberships start at just $50. Click here to learn more.
