To help keep the outdoors accessible during the heat wave, the Garden will also reduce the cost of admission after 8 p.m. each night. Use promo code HEAT26 when purchasing tickets online or mention the code at Garden admissions to receive the discount.
“Living in the desert means respecting the heat and adjusting our routines,” said Chris Kline, President and CEO of Desert Botanical Garden. “Opening earlier and staying open later is one small way we can support our community during a week when temperatures will be unusually intense.”
Visitors are encouraged to plan visits for early morning or after sunset, stay hydrated, wear sun protection and take advantage of shaded areas throughout the Garden.
