Accessibility
Naples Botanical Garden is committed to ensuring equal access for individuals with disabilities, and endeavors to maximize access of people with disabilities to its facilities. Guests with disabilities will not be discriminated against in any program or activity conducted at Naples Botanical Garden. To that end, ADA accessible paths run through buildings open to the public, cultivated gardens, and to the Birding Tower. Wheelchairs and electric scooters are available on a first-come, first-served basis. According to ADA mobility device regulations, safety requirements of alternate powered options will be considered prior to permitting entry to the Garden. Please see the ADA’s mobility device resources for details.
Naples Botanical Garden follows ADA service animal policies; ADA-defined, trained service dogs are permitted in the Garden during operating hours. As a reminder, pets, comfort animals, and emotional support animals are not otherwise permitted, however, guests may bring dogs to the Garden Sundays and Tuesdays from 9 – 11am as part of our Dogs in the Garden program; fee and advance registration required.
If you require an accommodation beyond those outlined above or if you have any questions, please contact us at visitorservices@naplesgarden.org
Inclement Weather
The Garden uses a Lightning Prediction System to alert guests when lightning is near. An alarm will sound one 15-second blast of the horn, signaling that lightning is near.
In the event of lightning, all guests should seek shelter immediately. Safe indoor waiting places include Fogg Café, Kapnick Hall and the Berger Shop in the Garden. When lightning is clear, the alarm will sound three 5-second blasts of the horn.

Dogs in the Garden
Want to experience the Garden with your pup? Dog walking days are Sundays and Tuesdays from 9 – 11am. (We ask that all dogs exit the Garden by noon.) If this is your dog’s first visit, you will need to fill out a dog form prior to arrival. One dog per adult. No retractable leashes permitted. Please bring a collapsible bowl/container so your dog can stay hydrated.
Private Events
As we continue to provide vital Member and community programming, our calendar no longer supports the ability to host private events, including weddings. We remain steadfast in our loyalty to our community partners and welcome conversations surrounding partnership-related events. To submit a request, please contact Development at development@naplesgarden.org.
