Purchase Tickets

No-refund Policy

We do not issue refunds for completed visits to our grounds and buildings.

Please consider before entering that Yume is a Japanese garden. It comprises stylized landscapes that express metaphors through carefully composed arrangements of large rocks, water features, pruned trees and shrubs, and areas of meticulously raked gravel and sand. It is not a Western-style botanical garden with thick, naturalistic plantings of labeled trees and bushes. Should you wish to see the latter, the Tucson Botanical Gardens are half a block north of our location.
