One Sunday in three months
The garden's home page prints the year in one line: Winter Feb. 1st, Spring May 3rd, Fall Nov. 1st, 2026. All three dates fall on a Sunday. Each festival runs 10:30am to 4pm.
The printed line sets three peak days for one Miami destination and nothing across the weeks between them.
A five and a half hour window in a longer park day
Park hours run 9:00am to 5:00pm every day, and admission stays free on every one of them. The grounds open 90 minutes before the programme and stay open 60 minutes after it.
The gate carries no ticket and no revenue. Five products inside the gate carry a price.
Five priced add-ons and one seat cap
The ticket page lists five products for 1 November 2026. The 11:30am tea ceremony costs $15. The 2:00pm sushi demonstration costs $15 with a sample plate, and watching carries no charge. The yukata experience costs $25 for an adult and $15 for a child. The ikebana class with supplies costs $15. The 11:00am onigiri class costs $5.
Seating is the one published capacity. The page limits tea ceremony seating to 25 ticket holders at 11:15am and 25 at 1:30pm. The product list carries a single tea sitting, at 11:30am, so one 25-seat sitting has a product and the other has none.
Each product is a paid commitment a guest makes before arriving. The seat cap and the five prices are the published measures of demand for the day.
Parking sets the entry cost
The garden sends guests to the Jungle Island garage. Jungle Island charges $20 a day, and the $5-off coupon handed out at the garden during a festival brings it to $15 for the entire day. Jungle Island prints the same $20 as a flat daily rate on its own park information page.
A guest in a car spends $15 before reaching a free gate, and that $15 holds for an hour or for the whole afternoon.
The arrival night the window supports
A guest drives on Saturday, attends on Sunday and leaves after 4pm or on Monday. The published window supports the Saturday night and one more night, and it anchors nothing before Saturday.
Price the Sunday and price the Saturday night in front of it. A rate fence spread across the week prices six nights against a five and a half hour event.
What the signal does not carry
The garden publishes no hotel block, no festival rate, no attendance forecast and no gate count. Its sponsor column lists the Adrienne Arsht Center, City of Miami Parks, Elks Lodge 1676, Jungle Island, Lan Pan Asian Cuisine, Miami-Dade Cultural Arts and RICOH, with no hotel in it.
The printed line stamps the year 2026. The garden publishes no 2027 dates, so the February weekend carries no year yet and a property reads the pattern from the three dates it can see.
Three Sundays a year hold still. The five priced products, the 25-seat sitting and the $15 car entry are the numbers a revenue manager can put against them.
