Boat Tour - Boat tour operations have been suspended this spring. An inspection of a boat hull during our planned maintenance this spring revealed several small holes that have caused concern about the safe operation of our boats.  Norfolk Botanical Garden values the safety of its visitors and has chosen to suspend boat tours until their safe operation can be assured.  Due to the age of the boats and the extent of the repairs needed, the Garden is evaluating the viability of purchasing new boats to continue the tour program.  Thank you for your patience and understanding Tram tours will not be available on Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and New Year’s Day.   Garden and Area Amenities - Free parking adjacent to the staffed main visitor center - 12 miles of walking paths - 8 minute video overview of the Garden - Wheelchair accessibility (wheelchairs to borrow, paths, tram) - Drink Machines - Picnic area - Benches - Water fountains - Restrooms - Phones - Exhibits   Garden Café   The Cafe is open April to October, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Hours, location, and contact information.     Garden Etiquette: For the safety and enjoyment of our visitors, staff and wildlife, please follow these rules: Service animals are welcome to accompany visitors with disabilities, but pets are not permitted in the Garden.
