Go2Gardens Free Shuttle Program

This program is for groups composed of families (adults accompanied by children) and/or adults. All ages are welcome but children and youth under 16 must be accompanied by an appropriate number of adults. For school groups, please visit our schools and teachers webpage.

To give organizations equal opportunities to shuttles, we request one visit per group per calendar year. Multiple visits may be scheduled, but will be at the discretion of the program coordinator and availability.

One week before your visit date, we will provide you an event code redeemable for a designated amount of Lyft credits per person per direction. Lyft credits can only be used on the designated visit date for drop off and pick up to Denver Botanic Gardens.

All ages are welcome. Children under 16 must be accompanied by an appropriate number of adults.

Vehicles are reserved for a maximum of 5 hours. This includes transportation to and from your location. Your return time is flexible and you may depart the Gardens earlier than your scheduled 5 hours. 

Interpretation services are available upon request. Please make requests for interpretation at least 2 months in advance.

In the event of inclement weather, outdoor activities may be canceled. The program coordinator will be in touch with rescheduling options, if and when they are available.

Transportation with wheelchair lifts or storage for mobility devices are available with advanced notice. Please allow 8 weeks notice for trips that require transportation for mobility devices.
