It is recommended for ages 4 and up with some chaperone help; the garden advises against children under 4 because of the small parts. Families choose a 10 am, noon or 2 pm session in a Baker Hall Visitor Center classroom. Every child and adult needs a registered ticket, and the class does not include the evening Garden of Lights. ## Similar picks in Virginia Beach - [Holiday Nature Ornaments Workshop](https://grassyknees.com/virginia-beach/activities/holiday-nature-ornaments-workshop--listing-b5ea989785230ab6bd26833f) — Sat, Dec 19 · 10:00 AM – 3:00 PM · Norfolk Botanical Garden (Baker Hall Visitor Center) · From $20 · checked Oct 24.
