New York Botanical Garden

Although it’s hard to get to up in the Bronx, if you don’t live out there, it’s well worth a trip. The garden is HUGE. Definitely be prepared to spend a good chunk of your day here, if not the entire day. It’s so peaceful to walk through the various parts. You get everything from forests and waterfalls, to rose gardens. There’s even an edible garden section. There is supposedly a shuttle bus that goes around the park, but I never saw it in the few hours I was walking around the park. That said, it may have been because I was there during very low traffic time (middle of the day on a week day). Highly recommend checking it out if you’re in the New York metro area!

It's not just a garden; it's a living museum, a place where art and science collide beautifully. The orchid exhibit, in particular, is a breathtaking experience. The sheer variety and vibrant colors of these delicate blooms are nothing short of awe-inspiring. Whether you're a seasoned botanist or just someone who appreciates the beauty of flowers, it's an enchanting journey. But it's not just about pretty flowers; it's also about education and conservation.

One could easily spend several days here, exploring the many exhibits, trails, and gardens. Overall a lovely experience, special gardens are available for children’s to explore, the tram rounds every 25 minutes or so, dining available in the cafe but there appears to be ample room for picnics. Very kid friendly.

I had so much fun today. Everything impressed. The nature, the well-thought-out art, the fall theme, and even my taste buds thanked me. I was walking around with a very tasty cold beer. The hot chocolate was so rich and delicious too. NYBG I love you so much

Great place to visit with gorgeous flowers and trees. Easy to walk around and they also have a tram that will take you to key locations within the garden while telling you about the history of the place. Staff are very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Buildings are well maintained. Worth the trek up to the Bronx to enjoy the plant life and serenity.
