San Francisco residents will finally get free admission to the Conservatory of Flowers and Japanese Tea Garden in Golden Gate Park starting April 22, 2022

On Friday, legislation will go into effect making the Gardens of Golden Gate Park free for San Francisco residents (as well as all veterans regardless of residence). The ordinance, introduced by Mayor London Breed and co-sponsored by Supervisor Gordan Mar, removes resident admission at the Conservatory of Flowers and Japanese Tea Garden for all San Francisco residents.

The ordinance opens all three attractions to veterans at no cost, regardless of residence.
