Accessibility:

Cape Fear Botanical Garden is an outdoor garden and forest linked by a few miles of trails. There is a paved loop around our main lake that features two new signature gardens. Most of our trails are packed earth surfaced with gravel or mulch. The trails (except the River Trail) are accessible by a normal wheelchair with an able-bodied pusher who can negotiate the occasional root or rut.

The Wyatt Visitors Pavilion Complex is fully accessible and ADA compliant.

For visitors with disabilities, the Garden offers golf cart guided tours. A reservation with 48-hour advance notice is required. Please call (910) 486-0221 for more information.

Cape Fear Botanical Garden strives to provide accessibility to all visitors to the best of our abilities and encourage those with special needs to contact us in advance by telephone or e-mail.

The Garden Gift Shop in the Wyatt Visitors Pavilion Complex offers a unique selection of garden accents, nature-related toys, books, apparel, artwork, jewelry, hand-crafted gifts and more.  Admission to the Gift Shop is free for Garden visitors and the public.
