  • Visitor Engagement Programs

    MCKEE BOTANICAL GARDEN IS CONSTANTLY DEVELOPING NEW PROGRAMS TO BENEFIT ITS VISITOR EXPERIENCE. ONE OF THE GARDEN'S MOST SUCCESSFUL VENTURES HAS BEEN THE CONTINUATION OF BRINGING TRAVELING EXHIBITS TO MCKEE. IN ADDITION TO OUR EXHIBITIONS, MCKEE CONTINUES TO HOST REGULAR EDUCATIONAL CLASSES, RANGING FROM HOW TO MOUNT AN ORCHID TO COOKING WITH SEASONAL FOODS. THE GARDEN MAKES EVERY EFFORT TO ENGAGE THE COMMUNITY ON A REGULAR BASIS BY ESTABLISHING TRADITIONS THAT ARE HIGHLY ANTICIPATED YEAR AFTER YEAR, INCLUDING FAVORITES SUCH AS HOLIDAYS AT MCKEE, NIGHTS OF LIGHTS, ANNUAL MOTOR CAR EXHIBITION, FAIRY AND PIRATE FESTIVAL AND THE WATERLILY CELEBRATION.EFFORTS ARE MADE TO ENGAGE AREA SCHOOLS AND OTHER SPECIAL GROUPS WITH AN ANNUAL DISCOUNT DAY; SCHOLARSHIPS TO CAMP MCKEE; FIELD TRIPS FOR UNDERPRIVILEGED CHILDREN; SEASONAL DISCOUNTS AND SPECIAL PASSES FOR THOSE WHO MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO AFFORD THE PRICE OF ADMISSION. MOTORIZED SCOOTERS, WHEELCHAIRS AND WHEELCHAIR-FRIENDLY PATHWAYS MAKE THE GARDEN ACCESSIBLE AND INCLUSIVE FOR EVERYONE. EACH YEAR, MCKEE HOSTS A COMMUNITY APPRECIATION DAY AND ALL VISITORS PAY JUST ONE DOLLAR TO ENJOY THE GARDEN FOR THE DAY.
