Hours and Tours

Bartram’s Garden is a public park and part of the Philadelphia Parks and Recreation system of trails and parks.  It has been managed by the non-profit John Bartram Association since 1893, which offers education and community programming.

The Garden is free to those who wish to explore on their own  from dawn to dusk, with the exception of City-observed holidays.  For a deeper experience, we offer tours and programs for a fee or as part of a Bartram membership.

GUIDED TOURS TO BEGIN ON APRIL 4!

Starting in April,  we will offer the Bartram Day Pass for guided tours, programs, and fun activities for all ages in the Green Room, as well as a new selection of plants and souvenirs in our Garden Shop.  Please note that the Bartram House is closed until April.

Bartram Day Pass:  $12 per person, or $10 for seniors, students, and children 16 and under. Free for Bartram Members and children under 2. Includes all-day admission to the Green Room, guided and curator tours, and map.
