Do I have to pay for the parking fee to enter the park for this class?

No, your registration for your program includes entry into the park for the day but does not include admission for any non-registered guests. You are welcome to stay and explore the grounds after your class is over until the park closes for the evening.

Where does this class meet?

Our classes are hosted at a variety of locations throughout the Arboretum property. Details about each class's meeting location are shared with participants two days before the class.

I heard there is a discount for members of the NC Arboretum, how do I find that promo code?

We share the discount code in our member newsletters a couple of times a year. If you are not sure what that code is, please email us at adulteducation@ncarboretum.org and we can share it with you if your membership is active.

Are there options to purchase food at the NC Arboretum?

Our Bent Creek Bistro is open from March - November 10 am - 4 pm daily and open during Winter Lights from 6 pm - 10 pm. There are vending machines located at each building with snacks and drinks available.
