Inclement Weather Policy
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.

ADA accessible paths are through all buildings and cultivated gardens, as well as to the Birding Tower. Wheelchairs are available for free rental; scooters are also available for $14 a day both on a first come, first served basis. We do not reserve wheelchairs or scooters.
Naples Botanical Garden is a certified Autism-Friendly venue through the Center For Autism & Related Disabilities (CARD) at the University of South Florida. We have collaborated with CARD to provide pre-visit tools for individuals with autism spectrum disorder and other sensory processing or cognitive impairments. We hope to provide you with as much information as possible about Naples Botanical Garden in order to make your visit special and enjoyable.
- The Social Experience Story is a picture book-style guide, which walks visitors through the entire Garden and what they might experience, from waiting in line to purchase tickets to encountering wildlife.
- The Parent/Caregiver Guide provides parents, caregivers, and teachers with sensory and behavior considerations as well as general visit tips to prepare individuals with sensory sensitivities for visiting the Garden.
- The Visual Schedule is a tool that provides pictorial icons representing the Garden’s exhibits, restrooms, and other stops to allow individuals to plan the order of their visit.
The Garden is committed to being a welcoming place for people of all abilities. Have questions about accessibility? Contact us at: info@naplesgarden.org.
Photography
We encourage our guests to take casual photographs and videos of their visit for their own personal use. However, personal photographs and videos may not be used for commercial purposes.
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.
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.
