Highly recommended botanic garden if you're in Brooklyn area or New York City. A quiet place from the cities hustle and bustle. Great place to go with family, young kids, and elderly people. There is a coffee shop and a cafeteria inside the garden. If you enjoy nature, this is the place to go. Amazing collection of plants from across the globe

Marvelous in April! So many cherry blossoms and tulips.

The indoor rooms are really neat too! The desert and tropical rooms are really cool. There’s an outdoor cafe with a little bit of seating near the tulips and indoor rooms where you can buy food or eat your own food. Lots of people say on grassy lawns for an afternoon picnic too.

I got free tickets through work but you might be able to get free tickets through your library card too. Not a big line for tickets when you get there, maybe like a 5-10 minute wait.

I went in July. I think a lot of the blooms were spent. Not as much color as I expected. Probably the best time is the Spring or early summer and definitely should see the cherry blossoms when they bloom again. Still was really relaxing and healing to be in such a peaceful and beautiful setting. The Rose Garden is lovely.

Such a wonderful place to visit while in Prospect Park/Brooklyn! All the plants and sights one could want, but in one place. Lots of different gardens, activities for kids, and paths/spaces for walking/playing/relaxing. Time is needed to take in each aspect, so plan your time wisely... or just plan to come back again and again for different experiences. Don't miss the bonsai room for my favorite form, the informal upright!

Lovely scenery and the cost is fair. Beautiful Japanese exhibit and nice staff as well. But just super bummed that I was a few weeks late to see the famous cherry blossom there.

Will come visit again!

This is a really stunning botanical garden that pairs well with a visit to the Brooklyn Museum, you can buy a combination museum & garden ticket that gets you into both! I walked through this place fairly quickly and I was still in the gardens for well over an hour, this could be a 2-3 hours visit if you take your time and walk all of the paths. I highly recommend checking out the greenhouses as they have some really great different climate exhibits such as a desert biome, tropical, etc. There are restrooms and food options throughout different parts of the gardens!

It was a beautiful wedding from the ceremony to cocktail hour ( both outside) surrounded by magnificent Japanese peonies blooms to dinner and dancing. It was still bright late into the day, the park was closed for regular visitors, and the ambiance inside The Atrium was beautiful. The food was gourmet, nicely presented. The flower arrangements were very unusual, different at every table. We had a great time. Everybody danced all evening.
Next door parking lot was very convenient.
