MariaAugust 10, 2014Looooved it! Beautiful place, not too many people around (no lines!), surely worth a visit.
The Corcoran GroupMarch 5, 2013Make sure you check out the Cherry Blossom Festival that runs from the beginning of April to May. It’s also a romantic wedding location.

This is the most appropriate place in the neighborhood to join a swarm. Any spring weekend with good weather will do.
Jag FirerwalkerNovember 20, 2015Bit pricey for the entrance, yet beautiful all the way. It makes you all sentimental about the nature stuff- Trees and Saplings program lets kids age 2-3 learn about gardening and experience nature. Caregiver participation is required. Read more

Rochelle GreenApril 8, 2012Walk with your student ID! Nice place for a picnic :-) and the Japanese garden and cherry blossom esplanade is the best!
Trae FNovember 8, 2015The colors are stunning in the Autumn. Just meander and find the Noguchi sculptures throughout.
The Organic View RadioMarch 1, 2011One of the most beautiful places on earth! There are activities for all ages! Always a fun time!
Christen DuongFebruary 13, 2012Beautiful gardens year-round. No one deserves to have this in their neighborhood. This place makes me feel lucky to live around here.
The cafe here is incredible. Just make sure you come to the garden on an off day in order to get a table and peace and quiet.
Love these gardens. Construction of east gate finally finished. Don't forget - before noon on Saturdays and get in free!
Leslie OroApril 22, 2010Free this year with Brooklyn College ID. Breath-taking sights during all seasons. The cherry blossoms are beautiful in Spring. They offer private member events.

Abe GSeptember 6, 2010They have a new calder statue on the lawn where you come in from e parkway and a pretty crazy installation near the lillie ponds. Seems to be a great place for very little kids to roam!
Sydney RandallAugust 12, 2015come when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom. i came in early august. everything was dead.
Free on Tuesdays, but membership is relatively cheap and gets you in free every day. Worth it to have unlimited access to, you know, plants and stuff.

"There are a variety of zones presented: tropical, dessert, aquatic, moderate, etc. The bonsai museum is also here."

"This part of the Garden makes you feel like you're missing a big skirt and a parasol. Stroll up and down the lawn, admire bright splashes of azalea and wisteria that swings off multiple trellis."
