Anyone! Bring a friend, partner, or child. Have a great time sharing Filoli with your loved ones! Children under 5 always receive free general admission, so they do not count toward your number of guests.

Yes. You can stay as long as you’d like, but both members and general admission ticket holders will need to check-in during their chosen hour window. This will create a smoother check-in process (shorter lines!) and a better parking experience for everyone.

You can cancel your reservation by emailing our reservations office at tickets@filoli.org or calling 650.364.8300 x1. Your freed up spots will allow other members to enjoy Filoli!

Starting on July 1, 2025, all new membership levels include free daytime general admission to Holidays at Filoli. Members receive a 20% discount on all evening general admission tickets to Holidays at Filoli.

If you have a pre-existing membership purchased before July 1, 2025, and would like free daytime general admission to Holidays at Filoli, you are welcome to upgrade your membership by contacting us at membership@filoli.org.

The only membership levels that receive free evening admission to Holidays at Filoli are Circle, Community Family, and Family for All levels.

No. We are lucky to have over 23,000 members, and we cannot accommodate all members every day. Our parking lot has limited space and we want to make sure the visit experience is pleasant for everyone. If we allowed members to reserve all available tickets, we would become a members-only organization, and that is not our mission. Filoli relies on the revenue received from ticket sales as well as membership dues, so we need to make space for purchased tickets every day. We are always striving to find the balance and give as many members as possible the opportunity to visit, and that's why we've added Members Only Mornings. The peak visitation occurs during the weekends of March and April, so we ask all visitors, including our members, to book tickets in advance.

The number on your membership level corresponds to the number of tickets you are allowed per visit. A named member must be present to redeem free member tickets.

Individual, Dual, Family, and Patron levels purchased before July 1, 2025 are valid through expiration. Your existing membership level and benefits will not change. If you decide to renew, you must choose a new membership level at the time of renewal.

Daytime general admission tickets to Holidays at Filoli are still discounted at 20% for members with the following membership levels: Senior/Student Individual, Individual, Dual, and Family. If you’d like your membership to include daytime Holiday tickets, you are welcome to upgrade your membership to one of the new levels. You can upgrade by contacting the membership office at membership@filoli.org or 650.364.8300.
