The entrance fee to the garden varies by the time of the year.
The fee for an adult is:
- Usually at its peak during the summer from June to September (CAD 39+),
- Followed by the spring from April to June (CAD 36+), and then
- In the holiday season from December to January (CAD 35+), and
- During fall in October (CAD 32+).
Tickets for the rest of the year usually go for under CAD 30.
Tickets for youths between the ages of 13–17 are typically around half that of adults', and tickets for children between 5–12 cost around CAD 2–3.

How Much Time Do You Need to Explore the Butchart Gardens?
When IÂ was there, I spent approximately 3+ hours to explore the entirety of the garden.
Make sure you get a map near the entrance - I found it very helpful to follow the directions shown and to make sure you don't miss anything.
