Cheekwood Botanical Gardens are Free for anyone 17

There's good news at Cheekwood: Saturdays are free for anyone 17 and under between now and Sept. 1. That means the young folks can explore the galleries and grounds for free and also enjoy the free Saturday A.M. art programs that are designed for 2- to 10-year-olds every Saturday between 10 a.m. and noon.



Regular admission to Cheekwood is $10, $5 for children 6-17 and free for the 6 and younger crowd. If you can't make it on a Saturday, the next best bet is the family cap of $30 where a family of four or five can get in for the $30 fixed price.

Cheekwood is at 1200 Forrest Park Drive. 356-8000 or www.cheekwood.org.
