As many of you know, Hamstra Gardens has seen a wonderful increase in visitors over the past several years. We are incredibly grateful for the love and support our community has shown, and with that growth comes the need for a few important changes this season.

What’s new for this year:

All guests will be required to register before visiting. Visits will no longer be free; general admission is $5 per guest.

Guided tours and photographer sessions will be available for an additional fee

Photographers may also purchase a season pass for full seasonal access

Why the changes?

Our goal is to create a better overall experience for everyone. Managing guest flow will help ensure a more enjoyable visit, especially as there will be major construction on the home located on the property this season, making reduced traffic necessary for guest safety.

This year is a transition season, and we kindly ask for your patience as we implement these updates. These changes are not meant to limit use, but rather to improve the experience and allow us to plan for exciting future opportunities — including enhancements to the gardens and new ways to enjoy the property that have never been offered before.

We truly appreciate your understanding and support during this time and are looking forward to providing an amazing garden experience for many years to come. 🌿✨

Prom Season Update:

We have received several questions regarding the upcoming prom season. This year, we will be offering “open house” events exclusively for KV and DMC proms. These designated days will be open to KV and DMC students and their families for photos at the gardens. Additional details and dates will be shared as those events approach.
Thank you for being part of the Hamstra Gardens community!
