2024 Season Passes | Dumbarton Oaks Gardens

The gardens of Dumbarton Oaks are an oasis within the city. Designed by renowned landscape gardener Beatrix Farrand in collaboration with Mildred Bliss, the garden extends over ten acres of terraced gardens and vistas, orchards, and kitchen gardens. Farrand and Bliss worked together for almost thirty years to achieve their vision of the garden which includes many fine decorative ornaments—benches, gates, finials, and sculptures.

Please consult our website for more information, including hours of operation, directions, and guidelines.

A map of the gardens can be found here.

Season Passes are valid beginning March 15, 2024.

A pass entitles the bearer(s) to unlimited visits to the gardens and to a 10% discount at the Museum Shop.
