How to Get Tickets or Log In as a Member on The Arboretum Website

Updated

The Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanic Garden handles both admission tickets and member access through arboretum.org. The homepage has a Tickets link and a Members Login link near the top of the page, and the Plan Your Visit section (under the Visit menu) is where you check hours and admission details before buying. Visiting hours are 9am–5pm with last entry at 4:30pm, and members get early entry at 8am.

Buying Admission Tickets

  1. Go to arboretum.org.
  2. Find the Tickets link in the top navigation area of the homepage.
  3. Follow it to the admission tickets page, where you select and purchase your tickets.
  4. Before you go, open Visit → Plan Your Visit to confirm hours and admission context for your date.

The site also lists a separate Admission Tickets link under its Tickets section, so if the first Tickets link doesn't take you where you expect, look for that entry instead.

Before You Buy

  • Check the clock. Last entry is 4:30pm, so a ticket for a late arrival may leave little time in the garden.
  • Check the calendar. The homepage promotes timed events such as The Book of Life (November 5, 5–8pm) and Trick-or-Treat in the Garden (October 23, 4–8pm). Some events ask you to "Reserve now," which means a separate reservation from general admission.
  • Note the date. Event listings on the homepage are tied to specific dates; confirm the event is still running before you plan around it.

Logging In as a Member

  1. Go to arboretum.org.
  2. Click Members Login in the top area of the homepage (it appears next to the Tickets link).
  3. Enter your member credentials on the login page.

Member early entry starts at 8am, one hour before general opening. If you are not yet a member, the site's Become a Member link (in the top navigation and under Support) is the entry point for joining; membership is handled through the site's support section rather than the tickets page.

Common Snags

  • Confusing tickets with event reservations. General admission and special events like Trick-or-Treat in the Garden are separate; an event page's "Reserve now" button is not the same as the Tickets link.
  • Arriving after last entry. The gate closes to new entries at 4:30pm even though the grounds stay open until 5pm.
  • Looking for membership under Tickets. Membership signup lives under Support/Become a Member, while the login sits in the top navigation.
  • Assuming prices or free entry. The site's public pages point you to the tickets and Plan Your Visit pages for admission details; check those pages directly rather than relying on secondhand summaries.

For anything not covered by the links above, the site lists a phone number (626.821.3222) and address (301 North Baldwin Ave, Arcadia, CA 91007) in the footer.
