I-15 take exit 284 Lehi – off the exit head west onto clubhouse drive – at the end of clubhouse drive, you will pass over a bridge and arrive at a stop sign – turn right at the stop sign onto garden drive – head north to the very end of the garden drive – arrive at the gardens visitor center on your left-hand side.
Additional Notes: The prime time for portraits is during the tulip festival (April 25th -May 9th). I highly recommend not doing portraits on the weekend during the tulip festival. It can be very crowded. Weekdays are preferred at this location.
