This is my favorite place in NYC and the best botanical garden in the area. Check their website for the cherry blossom schedule and head there when they're in bloom! It's a beautiful experience. The only downside is how strict they are about where you are allowed to sit in the grass, there are definitely not enough seating areas to not allow people to sit on the grass.

One of my favorite places in Brooklyn. No matter what time of year you visit, it is magnificent. That being said I highly recommend early spring when the cherry blossoms are blooming and the tulip garden is planted. A great place for families, a date, or just a walk by yourself. Pro-tip: entrance is free Tuesdays and Saturdays before noon. Also the gift shop is superb, if you're looking for plants to gift, definitely check it out.

I went for the cherry blossom festival. If you go for this, get there VERY VERY early because it gets crowded. This is a really relaxing space amidst the hustle. If you're in Brooklyn, I imagine a visit to this garden any time of year would be well worth it. As is the case with most botanic gardens that have an entrance fee, if you're a member, you get in quicker which could be worth it if you're concerned about lines or if you might visit more than once in a year.

I have been coming to Brooklyn botanical gardens for years. Once your inside the gardens the people and atmosphere is more relaxing. The staff are always friendly and helpful. The park stays clean. Would highly recommend this park. I also recommend Tom's a few blocks away for nice quick breakfast or lunch.
