To help you enjoy your visit, please keep the following in mind:
Guided tours are scheduled throughout the year. Groups of more than ten people should schedule a "large group tour" (see below). Our guided tours typically take approximately 45 minutes. Advance registration is appreciated, but not required. View the registration form to see a list of available dates.
The greenhouse is located in the southeast corner of the Biology Building. Tours meet outside of Room 139 at the bulletin board.
Tours for large groups (ten or more people) are available Monday through Friday by appointment. Large group guided tours last approximately 30 to 60 minutes based on the interests of the group.
IU instructors may bring their students to the greenhouse for special class sessions. Please arrange a time through the "Schedule a Class Visit" form to avoid conflict with other scheduled activities.
Parking is available in the Atwater Garage (921 Atwater Avenue, Bloomington) just a block south of the Biology Building. Enter the garage from South Faculty Lane between Atwater Avenue and East Third Street.
A parking fee is normally charged on week days.
Contact the IU Office of Parking Operations for other options.
