Group Visits
We will do everything possible to create an unforgettable customized experience for your travel group, geared to their particular interests.
Adult Groups
The Wildflower Center offers guided visits with advance notice. Volunteer docents guide the tour which includes the history and mission of the Wildflower Center and natural history of the Central Texas Hill Country. Guided tours are about a quarter mile, although guests are invited to hike our longer trails on their own. The gardens are accessible to those with disabilities.
For groups of 15 or more, guided tours generally take 45-60 minutes; we recommend at least 90 minutes to allow time for loading and unloading.
Tour rate: 15 minimum, guided - $8 adults, $7 seniors/students, $4 children 5-12
Group discounts are available for self-guided groups of 20 or more who want to go at their own pace. Our cell phone audio tour can enhance these visits.
Group rate: 20 minimum, self-guided - $6 adults, $5 seniors/students, $2 children 5-12
