I can’t wait to go back, we saw many acres of beautiful flowers & trees but not all! It’s definitely a place to enjoy with loved ones! Parking lot is spacious, staff is super friendly & helpful, gift shop is marvelous, plus you can ride a bus for FREE to review the entire park, a lovely 30 minutes.

Lovely and peaceful place to spend a day with family. The orchid exhibition was fantastic. The children’s garden was awesome for kids to explore. Will go back again to explore more. The only downside was that the cafeteria was crowded and had to wait in a long line to get food.

A gorgeous place to visit. We have been going here for over a decade now and go at least a few times a year (Orchid Show, Pumpkin Festival and the Holiday Train Show). Its a great place to walk outdoors and enjoy all the flora and fauna. Every season and even month brings something new to enjoy. Young and old, there's something here for you. Tired from walking? Hop on the tram and take a tour. It stops along the way at various points and you can hop off and explore. Always a lovely time here.

Such a lovely breath of nature for New York City. I loved leisurely exploring the grounds, riding the tram, and visiting the rose garden. Seriously considering becoming a member it was so great ! You could easily spend an entire day here. The on-site restaurant was a nice touch but was extremely overpriced for the quality and quantity of food delivered.

If you’re a New York City resident and go here on Wednesday it’s free and it’s free for anyone between 10am-11am. This is the biggest garden I’ve ever been to and there’s so much to beautiful plants and sights to see. It’s extremely clean, has a must see rose garden, a library, a waterfall and so much more. I highly recommend anyone coming here if you love nature.

Breathtakingly gorgeous and unbelievably clean plant paradise. Easy walking and rolling paths throughout. We went on a very busy spring weekend and there was still plenty of space for personal comfort, or to stop and gawk. I think 3 hours is the perfect amount of time. Don't miss ornamental conifers or the peonies.

I had an incredible experience visiting the New York Botanical Garden! This urban oasis is a real hidden treasure in the heart of the city. As soon as I entered, I was impressed by the thriving greenery, vivid flowers, and expertly designed gardens. It's awesome to find such a serene spot amidst the hustle and bustle of New York City.

Exploring the rugged pathways, I found myself immersed in an atmosphere of calm and strength. The themed gardens, like the Rose Garden and the Native Plant Garden, showcased Mother Nature's finest work. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready to help with a smile. This place is perfect for both solo adventurers and families looking for an escape from the concrete jungle.

I highly recommend a visit to the New York Botanical Garden for anyone seeking a refreshing break from city life. 10/10, it's an experience you won't want to miss!
