you HAVE to go here at least once.. one of the most beautiful Botanical gardens - I can't wait for spring. Make sure you go to the scent garden and smell the chocolate peppermint. Feed the fish in the japanese meditation garden, and enjoy an indoor rain forrest too - bring the kids - there's plenty of room for them to run around.…
Great reprieve!. If you're looking for that perfect afternoon away from the city... without having to travel - this is it! Sit down, relax, breathe in, play with the koi. Be alone, be with friends, be with family. Just simply be. This place is such a gift, and makes me love Brooklyn to the core.…
Botanical Gardens. Springa nd summer times beautiful plants, ;eaves,a nd flowers grow, especially by the river. I saw occasionally bunny rabbits here which shocked me for a place like Brooklyn which has nature. This is located in prospect park. I like the lillys in the ponda nd gift shop where they have clothes, books, souvineers,a nd buts beex wax lip balm. The cherry blossoms are awesome and food is expensive here. Lots of insects so bring deoderant, and a nice fresh small from the flowers. Beware of bees!!!!!!!!…
GORGEOUS!!!!. I love the botanical garden, because it takes u away from the concrete jungle of BROOKLYN..its soothing, romantic array of organic flowers are absolutely breathtaking. I love goin to the garden on the weekends with my fiance' and our children...because they get to pick the type of flowers they want to take home and plant in our own garden. I would recommend anyone go just for a romantic outing or just to get some solitude. Its also PERFECT for weddings…

There's also an assortment of ice cream treats in the snack bar.
