Passport Tickets
Make big savings…
Buy a Passport Ticket and, as well as the Gardens, you can also visit the nearby Swannery and Children’s Farm for a fraction of the normal price. It’s totally flexible, you don’t have to visit all three places on the same day.
These tickets allow three visits to an Abbotsbury attraction. You can choose to visit all our attractions once. Or, if you have a favourite, visit one attraction three times. Or, for example, visit the Children’s Farm twice and the Swannery once.
