What to look for

  • The Enclosed Gardens interpret garden traditions through distinct designed spaces.
  • Outer Gardens, Turtle Lake and the playground can be planned separately from the ticketed garden area.

Before you visit

Check current admission arrangements, opening hours and the garden map when planning your visit.

Admission & booking

Outer gardens are free. Enclosed gardens require a ticket or eligible resident pass; age and residency conditions apply.

Getting there

Use the Hungerford Crescent entrance off Cobham Drive in Hamilton. Check the official transport and parking guide instead of assuming the gardens are a city-centre walk.

Timing & conditions

Check the Enclosed Gardens' last-entry time as well as the wider park gates. Christmas Day arrangements differ between the enclosed and outer areas.
