With 385 acres to explore at the Garden, where do you begin?

Tram Tours are free with admission. We invite you to soak in the beauty of the Garden's most popular areas as you take a relaxing ride on one of our all new electric trams. Listen to your guide's informative narration while you tour through colorful landscapes, and return each season to experience transformed views.
