Throw on your favorite pullover and bring a travel mug of a hot beverage to Crystal Springs for this special Friends-only extended hours on Valentine’s Day, February 14.

Friends and their guests* are welcome to beat the crowds on Waived-Admission Day (Mondays) before gates open to the public at 10:00am. Early mornings are a great time to soak in the peace and quiet of the garden and perhaps catch a glimpse of an elusive bird or other wildlife such as otters.

If you don’t yet have a Friends annual pass, you can purchase one online or at the gatehouse.

*Friends are allotted the number of free admissions valid under your annual pass. Additional guests are welcome, but are subject to the $5 admission fee if 11 years of age or older.
