Group Visits and Tours

Fernwood welcomes visits from clubs and other groups during normal public hours. A 20% discount on regular adult admission fees applies for your group of twenty (20) or more, if you register in advance and pay in one lump sum. ONLY ONE DISCOUNT MAY BE APPLIED. Stacking discounts is not permitted.

If you call at least two weeks before your visit, we are happy to provide your group with a tour guide or speaker, pending availability. We can accommodate up to 12 people per walking tour group and up to 120 people in a classroom program. If your group is larger, please let us know when you call, so we can schedule additional guides or speakers to serve you.

Tour fee: $25 per guide, per 12 people. Speaker fees vary depending upon the type of program and size of the facility used.

If our regular programs do not fit your schedule or needs, Fernwood offers opportunities to learn on your own. Interpretive signs are located along the garden paths and woodland trails.

For more information or to register for your group visit tour, please call 269.695.6491.
