Rock Garden Chandigarh ticket price 2026
| Visitor | Entry fee | Age band (Ticket Dashboard) |
|---|---|---|
| Adult | ₹30 | 12 years and above |
| Child | ₹10 | 12 years or under |
Source: official Rock Garden page (Adults Rs. 30/- ; Children Rs. 10/-) and official Ticket Dashboard (Entry Adult 12+ yrs: Rs. 30/- ; Children 12 yrs or under: Rs. 10/-), both checked 7 November 2026. The same ₹30 / ₹10 pair also appears on Chandigarh Tourism’s Pocket Friendly Tourism page.
- What the ticket covers: garden entry. The Rock Garden page lists attractions inside (phases, waterfall, open-air theatre, laughing mirrors, dolls museum, souvenir shop, food court). It also mentions a camel ride and a train ride; separate ride prices are not published on the pages checked today—ask at the counter.
- Example (our arithmetic): two adults and one child pay ₹70 (2 × ₹30 + ₹10).
- Foreigner rate: the Ticket Dashboard does not list a separate foreigner fee for Rock Garden (unlike Bird Park on the same dashboard). Treat the adult/child rates above as the published entry fees unless the counter says otherwise.
- Camera / parking: no camera ticket or parking amount is published on the Rock Garden page today. Do not assume museum camera rates from other Chandigarh Tourism rows apply here.
- Online tickets: Chandigarh Tourism promotes an e-ticketing app for major attractions including Rock Garden. Confirm current availability in the official app or on the e-ticketing page before relying on it.

Labelled conflict: some travel blogs say Rock Garden is closed on public holidays. That is not what Chandigarh Tourism’s Rock Garden page says today (“Open: Daily”). We follow the official page; if your date is a major holiday, call the helpline to confirm.
What Rock Garden is (brief)
Chandigarh Tourism describes Rock Garden as a roughly 35-acre eco-friendly garden of sculptures made from home and industrial waste (bangles, ceramic pots, tiles, bottles, electric waste), founded by Nek Chand, who began the work in his spare time in 1957. The layout is framed as a “lost kingdom” with multiple chambers/phases, plus a waterfall, open-air theatre and other displays. The Teej festival is listed as a special seasonal attraction.

Recent news context (not a fee change)
In February–March 2025, news outlets reported controversy and protests over demolition of an outer wall near Rock Garden for a road-widening and parking project (for example Hindustan Times, 10 March 2025; Jagran coverage late February 2025). Reporting described the work as adjoining wall/road/parking works; Chandigarh Tourism’s Rock Garden page still lists the garden as open daily with the ₹30 / ₹10 fees above. This is background only—not a published fee hike or a full garden closure notice on the official tourism pages checked today.
Tips before you go
- Carry a small note of the published age bands: 12+ = adult ₹30; 12 or under = child ₹10.
- In the October–March season, plan around the 6:00 PM closing time.
- Wear comfortable shoes; the site is large (official “time needed” is 2–3 hours).
- Ask at the counter about camel/train rides, camera rules and parking—those amounts are not on the Rock Garden fee table today.
- Re-open the Ticket Dashboard on visit day; its “Last Update” line is a quick check that fees have not moved.
