Fall Foliage Tour

Aside from scheduled public events (see Upcoming Events), the Dunn Gardens are open to the public for guided tours only, April through October except for August. Reservations must be made in advance.

Our regular tour schedule runs from April 1 through July, and from September 1 through October. The gardens will be closed in August. Tours are held on the following days:

  • Thursdays at 1 p.m.
  • Fridays at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m.
  • Saturdays at 10 a.m.

There is a limit of 12 people per tour. Admission is $10 per person ($5 for seniors 65 and over), payable by check or cash at the door (Groups of 6 or more must pay for the tour in advance). Children under 12 admitted only with prior approval. Only service animals permitted. Parking is very limited and carpooling is recommended. We cannot accommodate any vehicles larger than a passenger van.

The gardens are located approximately 10 miles north of downtown Seattle. Driving and transit directions are available from the Map/Directions link in the navigation bar above.

Tours often book several weeks in advance, so give yourself plenty of time when scheduling. Please see our calendar for a list of scheduled tours and availability, then use this form to request your reservations. Once a reservation has been made, we will contact you with confirmation, driving directions, and further instructions.

As the Garden Trust office is not open every day, please allow a few days for a response to your request for reservations.
