Friendship Botanic Gardens

These historic gardens are inspired by the 1933 Century of Progress Fair in Chicago and cover land traced with trails used for hundreds of years by Native Americans. The Grounds include 105 acres of trails through the woods and open spaces with gardens, a meadow, and Lake Lucerne. The gardens are open Wednesday-Sunday 10am-6pm from the second weekend of May through the last weekend of October. Wednesdays are free admission days (suggested donation). Admission is $6 for ages 13 and over. Children 12 and under are free. Memberships available for year round access.

International Friendship Gardens are accessed by walking earthen trails and lawns. A golf cart is available for those with mobility limitations.

International Friendship Gardens is also available as a wedding venue and hosts several cultural events throughout the year.
