New York Botanical Garden

Great experience! Get away from the city and experience nature for a few hours. So peaceful and beautiful. Very educational and cafe food is tasty. Best way to get there is with metro north from Grand Central 🌸❤️

What a beautiful oasis in the Bronx of New York. Yes you have to pay but it is worth every dollar. You can also just buy membership instead, as you'll more than likely want to return if you live here. Safety restrictions are in place at the moment to limit numbers and enable social distancing. Although once you are in there is no limit on how long you spend in there.

If you want to see the spring blossoms I'd book very soon. Many of the blossoms are already well in bloom and look stunning but there are still more to come. The daffodils seem to be all out but not the tulips yet. The Kasuma exhibits are a joy to see in all their colour.

The restaurants are open for food. You may have a queue a little at busy times. We didn't eat but the pizzas we saw looked very good.

I hope you enjoy it as much as we did. Our two young daughters also loved running about and doing the quit hunt along the way.

I went here on Aug. 3, 2016 and My Mom and I enjoyed ourselves. I t is Beautiful seeing the Plants and Flowers. I also enjoyed riding in the Tour Guided Tram!! 😀

P.S. When we came again around September of 2017 we loved the Garden so much that we decided to join.

Visited today to see some colors of spring. Wonderful. They are doing a great job with reduced crowds and safety. The garden is always great and staff friendly. I loved the lower key orchid display this year. It had a very natural feel and still a good way to perk up the winter grey days. Thank you for all your efforts.
