Event Description

We will open for the 2024 season on Wednesday, April 3, weather permitting. We will follow the schedule we “trialed” this past year in response to popular parental request of opening and closing one hour earlier during the hottest months of the year. We will continue to be open to the public Wednesday through Saturday with the following hours:

April, May, September, and October: Wednesday-Saturday 10 a.m.-5 p.m.

  • Must purchase admission in the Visitor Center by 4 p.m.

June, July, and August: Wednesday-Saturday 9 a.m.-4 p.m.

  • Must purchase admission in the Visitor Center by 3:30 p.m.

Please note that the operation of the Kentucky Children’s Garden is dependent on weather conditions as it is an all-outdoor experience.
