Explore Red Butte Garden

Itinerary tips

• 1Reserve your tickets online in advance, as the garden uses timed entry slots that can sell out during peak bloom periods.
• 2Plan for at least two to three hours to explore the full 100 acres, including the specialized themed gardens and upper natural area trails.
• 3Wear sturdy walking shoes and bring a refillable water bottle, as the terrain involves significant elevation changes and slopes.
• 4Utilize the free parking lot located directly in front of the Visitor Center, though arrive early on concert days when spaces fill rapidly.
• 5Check the garden’s bloom calendar on their website before your visit to identify which specific collections are currently at their peak.
• 6Carry a light jacket even in summer, as the canyon breeze and shade from the Wasatch foothills can make the temperature drop quickly.
