EXTENDED OPENING HOURS IN THE SUMMER VACATIONS!
During summer vacation, the BIOTOPIA Lab will be open Friday through Sunday all day (from 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.) and will offer rotating hands-on programs throughout. You can find out which program is offered when on the weekend activities page.
PLAN YOUR WALK-IN VISIT OR PRE-REGISTER
The BIOTOPIA Lab is open for visitors as long as regulations allow (rules for museums and cultural institutions). Short-term changes are possible depending on the current infection levels. You can visit the Lab spontaneously during a visit to the Botanical Gardens or pre-reserve your slot online, in which case your registration gets you free access to the Botanical Gardens.
