Desert Biotanical Garden Student Discount

Desert Botanical Garden Student Discount

The Desert Botanical Garden provides discounted educational field trips for K–12 school groups, allowing students to explore the garden at a reduced educational rate. Self-guided school visits cost $12 per student, while teachers and eligible chaperones receive complimentary admission based on the required supervision ratio. The program also includes a garden orientation, access to educational trails, and learning resources, making it an affordable option for schools rather than individual students.

How to Get the Educational Student Rate & Verification Process

To receive the educational student rate, visits must be booked in advance by a school or teacher through the Desert Botanical Garden's official field trip request process. Reservations are required at least two weeks before the visit and are available for groups of 15–100 students on weekdays. There is no third-party student verification through services like Student Beans, UNiDAYS, or SheerID. Instead, eligibility is verified through the school booking itself, with the reservation submitted by an educator or school representative. Teachers and chaperones are validated as part of the official school group registration process.
