Bringing children: For the well-being of our plant collection as well as your kids’ safety, please review our rules upon arrival and monitor your children closely at all times during your visit.
Parent meet-up groups, home school groups, schools, camps, etc., please visit our Group Visit Guidelines Page to obtain permission to bring a group to the Garden.
How are plants alike and different? Where do birds make their homes at Asheville Botanical Garden? How many food sources for wild animals can you find in the Garden? And, where do you see insects at the Garden?
Kids will learn the answers to these nature questions while filling out one our INVESTIGATION PASSPORTS. There are five passports to choose from focusing on animals, birds, insects, nature words, and, of course, PLANTS!
Each free Investigation Passport encourages kids to use their observation skills and senses while exploring the Garden. The passports include investigation tips and observation activities to be completed during a visit to the Garden. Plus each passport has a fun activity – word scramble, crossword puzzle, crossword chain, matching game, or word search. (Designed for kids ages 4-10)
Passports may be picked up at our Visitor’s Center. Kids may return to the Visitor’s Center before closing to get their completed passports stamped and to collect a small prize.
