Membership

Your RBG membership provides you with complimentary admission to Royal Botanical Gardens; simply present your membership card and one piece of photo ID to the kiosk attendant upon arrival. General Admission includes access to our cultivated garden areas (during regular operational hours), as well as any discovery activities, taking place during your visit.

While some activities and events are included in your membership, others require a separate event ticket and/or pre-registration. If you are interested in a specific event, please check the admission requirements at rbg.ca/events.

Benefits are subject to change at any time.

The number of visitors you can bring under your membership is dependant on your membership type. Guests must accompany member cardholders. Please see the details under the membership charts above. Please note that the membership benefits and discounts associated with your membership are not transferable to guests of members on plus memberships and apply only to complimentary garden admission.

Memberships purchased or renewed online may take up to 10 business days to process before mailing to the address provided. Are you a new member waiting on your cards to arrive, but still want to visit the gardens? No problem! Just print off your confirmation email and present that upon arrival.

If you would like to receive your membership cards and passes on the spot, consider visiting our membership representatives at the RBG Centre kiosk to purchase or renew.

Memberships begin at the date of purchase and expire the following year, at the end of the month.

If you would like to change your membership type at the time of renewal, simply select a different membership category, or if you are renewing in person, let us know at the start of the process.

If you would like to upgrade an active membership before the expiry date, please visit RBG Centre where a membership representative would be happy to upgrade your current category and print a new card for you.

If you experience a change in mailing address or contact information (including phone number and email address), please get in touch online, or notify the membership representative at RBG Centre during your next visit.

There is a $10 reprint fee for all lost or stolen membership cards or parking passes.  Cards can be reprinted once the fee is paid in person at the RBG Centre Kiosk.

RBG members receive updates on upcoming events, programs, and more. It is possible we do not have the correct email address on file, or that you have unsubscribed from our email list. Please get in touch online and we can look into this for you.

Membership cardholders can be changed at the time of renewal only, but if there is a special situation to consider please get in touch online  and we’d be happy to try and help!
