New York Botanical Garden

I went on a group tour. Learned about the rise of LSD. The staff was lovely, super cheerful to explain whatever you need. The exhibits were gorgeous and the gift shop was reasonably priced Got a succulent for 8 And a moonin Lego set for 14 The yarn tree made by a local artist was stunning and bright, very on theme with the peace movement of the 60s. It's a nice place to go for a good walk and pics. Not only that but the cafe for food is a solid meal. Prices not bad and the food was actually pretty good for a cafe within a confined area.

We visited here from Colorado at the end of May for the Flower Power and Summer of Moomin special and were blown away by the variety of plants and exhibit creativity. We especially enjoyed the rainforest in the conservatory, but there is so much more to see! I would highly recommend a visit as it is a great way to spend a very relaxing and colorful afternoon. We bought tickets beforehand and had no wait. There is also a tram that you can take around the park if you do not or cannot walk a lot.

Soon as you go thru the gates it seems like you've magically stepped into a whole huge beautiful garden and left the bronx completely. The smells of the flowers come and invite you. The trees waved at you and the breeze often comes up to you ask may I take your coat? Everyone visiting and working are so friendly calm and peaceful and that's what the place encapsulates. The rock garden is nice and this is a great place for a date contrary to popular belief. Imagine having a great conversion getting to know someone with the beauty of the day as the background for your setting and the birds singing as your longue music? Now I would eat before you get there because the food cost airport prices. Also heads-up. You will be doing a good amount of walking bring comfortable shoes there's plenty of benches tho and they do have some tour carts. Love this place. Free on Weds for NY residence if your from out of town get there between 9-10am that's the free window for you guys. Enjoy oh and of coarse great picture spot. Goes without saying

I love coming here for the different exhibitions. Even if you don't go to the exhibitions, there are trails and the native plants and other areas to look at. Sometimes I go with just ground admissions and find myself enjoying the walk for an hour. If you're going for the first time to this location with a friend with plans to see the exhibit, then plan for about an hour. Maybe definitely an extra hour or two more if you're going to walk and look around since there are tons of other things to see. You should definitely wear sneakers and take pictures of anything you like!!

New York Botanical Garden will always hold a special place in my heart. I was raised in the Bronx, and as a teenager I even had the opportunity to work here, so coming back always brings back a lot of memories. There’s something peaceful and timeless about this place. The grounds are beautiful, well maintained, and no matter what season you visit, there’s always something special to see. For me, it’s more than just a botanical garden, it’s a place connected to my roots, growth, and a lot of meaningful moments in my life. If you’re from the Bronx, you know places like this become part of your story. Definitely worth visiting, whether it’s your first time or you’re coming back for the memories.
