Such a beautiful place to enjoy practically any season. A jewel to disconnect from the chaos and noise of the city in the Bronx. On Wednesday you can come in without paying, so you can walk through the garden, you won't be allowed to come into certain areas since you're not paying but if you just want to take a walk, drink a coffee or talk to somebody and enjoy nature PLEASE visit this jewel 💓💓💓

Went to see the train show before it packed up for the season. Pros 1-Parking was relatively hassle free. 2-The items on display were beautiful. 3-Everything was made from nature (bark, sugar glass, moss, etc. Cons 1-Kind of expensive for tickets, after you already paid for parking. 2-Very crowded. Recommend going later in the day if possible. 3-Signage. Because of the crowding it is easy to miss where you want to exit. Pro Tip - The exit you want is half way through. If you go to the end you will need to turn around.
