Small Groups

We welcome small groups (birthday parties, pre-schools, classes, summer camps, church groups, etc.) to the Kentucky Children’s Garden during our season of operation during normal operating hours. Any group over 15 total visitors must pre-register as a small group.

Small groups are self-guided. An admission charge of $4 applies to both children and adults.

For the 2025 season, please return to this page in January to fill out an updated Small Group Request Form to request a date. Once you have submitted the form, we will let you know if we have your requested date available.

Only one small group will be permitted to visit at a time. We do not offer discounts for small groups.

• Fayette County Public Schools in session: Small groups are limited to 50 people.
• Fayette County Public Schools NOT in session: Small groups are limited to 30 people.
