Policies

To ensure the beauty and longevity of Green Bay Botanical Garden, please respect the following policies. Visitors who do not comply may be asked to leave.

Grounds

Stay on paths or grass.

Walking in flower beds may damage plants, landscape rocks may be slippery, or structures can be damaged.

Don't pick it if you didn't plant it.

Flowers and vegetables are grown for display and educational purposes.

Respect wildlife in the Garden.

Please observe with your eyes only and do not feed the animals or fish.

Explore together.

Due to the nature of the surroundings, young children are to be supervised at all times. Adults are responsible for monitoring their children and ensuring everyone follows the rules.

Children 16 and older are allowed to enter the Garden on their own. Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult or a caretaker designated by their guardian(s) that is at least 16 or older.

Food & Beverages

Food is permitted in the Garden. However, the Garden does not provide trash bags and/or receptacles for the removal of trash. Please carry out what you have carried in.

In compliance with our liquor license, the Garden has a no alcohol carry-in policy. Bags and coolers may be searched and you may be asked to return items to your vehicle. Any exceptions to this policy could result in the loss of our license. We appreciate your support.

Smoking

The Garden is a smoke and vape-free, environmentally-friendly facility. Smoking and vaping are not permitted anywhere on the grounds including the parking lot.

Concealed Carry/Weapons

The Garden does not permit the right to carry weapons or concealed weapons on the grounds. The Garden reserves the right to deny anyone access inside the Garden.

Keep your personal items with you at all times. The Garden is not responsible for any personal property. Valuables should not be left unattended. This includes inside any building or structure on the grounds.

Recreational Scooters & Skateboards

Recreational kick, push, and electric scooters and skateboards are prohibited.

Service Animals & Pets

Service animals are welcome, but please leave pets and Emotional Support Animals (ESAs) at home. Please let us know you have a service animal when you arrive so we can make our staff aware. View frequently asked questions about service animals and the ADA.

Photography & Filming

Photography and videotaping for personal use is permitted. Commercial filming and posed photo shoots are allowed with a permit. We ask you to please adhere to our photography policies and make an appointment, if applicable.

Drones: It is the responsibility of the photographer/drone pilot to ensure they are following the federal drone laws in Wisconsin. Due to the Garden’s close proximity to Austin Straubel International Airport, additional precautions must be taken if flying a drone on the Garden’s premises. It is your responsibility to notify Austin Straubel International Airport’s Air Traffic Control Tower before flying a drone. Please contact the Air Traffic Control Tower at 920.431.5751 before flying and let them know your name, your phone number, and location of flight (Green Bay Botanical Garden, 2600 Larsen Rd, Green Bay, 54303). You must also include how long the drone will be in the air.

By visiting Green Bay Botanical Garden you understand that you may be photographed, filmed, or video taped, and you hereby give permission and grant the perpetual right to use your likeness, image, photo (collectively, “image”), without compensation, for broadcast or exhibition in any medium and to put the finished pictures/recordings to any legitimate use without limitation or reservation.
