Accessibility

GRADUATE PRORAM

California Botanic Garden is committed to making its exhibitions, programs and services accessible to all.
All buildings and most garden areas at CalBG are accessible to visitors with limited mobility. Due to the terrain, some areas may present challenges to those with ambulatory disabilities. The CalBG Master Plan considers accessibility in all aspects of its design. If you have questions or comments about accessibility at CalBG, please contact the Admissions Kiosk at (909) 625-8767, ext. 451.
