Bean Sprouts Family Days Presented by Kaiser Permanente
Join us for family fun in the Children’s Garden every week!
What are Bean Sprouts Family Days?
Bean Sprouts Family Days take place in the Children’s Garden in San Francisco Botanical Garden. Kids are welcome to dig, water, pick, build, explore, and investigate in the Botanical Garden’s “yes space” for kids! Grab some tools at our welcome station or bring your own tools to work and play in the Children’s Garden.
What is a “yes space”?
Our “yes space” is an area of the Garden where kids and families are encouraged to plant, play, and explore. In the rest of the Gardens, picking flowers, digging holes, and building forts is not allowed, but in the Children’s Garden, these activities are encouraged!
Are Bean Sprouts Family Days free?
All Bean Sprouts programs are free of charge, with no preregistration required. Heavy rain cancels the program.
When are Bean Sprouts Family Days?
Bean Sprouts will be on winter break from December 20 until early February 2025, however the Children’s Garden will remain open. Watch the garden change through the season, enjoy hands-on activity stations, explore and tend the Children’s Garden:
