Self-Guided Visit Reservations

Please be prompt to your time slot and if you’re running late, please call us at (805) 649-2333 so our staff can plan accordingly. Self-Guided Reservations will receive a link to a digital waiver in their confirmation email, once this digital waiver is signed, Driving Directions are emailed in response. Please print these directions or have them available to reference before you begin your journey. You will not find Taft Gardens without them.

Children under 12 are free.

Dogs are welcome on leash.

Garden paths are gravel or mulched. The Self-Guided Walk is about 1.5 miles roundtrip.

Please be aware the road to Taft Gardens crosses twice over Santa Ana Creek, and due to a wet winter, the Arizona style Creek crossings have a couple of inches of water going over the road. Please drive slow through the water.
