New York Botanical Garden is located in the Bronx, New York. It was established in April of 1891 on the grounds of the Lorillard Estate, which was owned by tobacco magnate, Pierre Lorillard. It covers 250 acres and contains 50 different gardens and plant collections. These include a 50 acre old growth New York Forest great for hiking through, wetlands, a rose garden, Japanese garden, children's garden, and the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory.
No matter what time of year you go, it's always beautiful, and there are always plenty of activities going on. From November through January, there's a holiday train display that children and train enthusiasts will enjoy.
The gardens are open Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Grounds only admission for adults is $15.00 and children under 12 is $4.00. If you'd like to go inside the conservatory and see the special displays, the cost is $28.00 for adults and $12.00 for children.
If you're going to go there, might as well see everything!
ReplyDeleteThat's the way I feel about it, too!
DeleteI need a week in the Bronx (and Brooklyn). There's so much more than just Manhattan...but I do love theater too. Dang - I just need more time and money!
ReplyDeleteWay more money! New York is expensive!
DeleteThat place is huge. You'd more than one day to see all of it.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing that this is so close to the big city.
DeleteI knew it was nineteenth century as soon as I saw the photo. I have seen that style of structure in various p[laces in the UK - noticeably at Kew Gardens.

I haven't visited Kew Gardens. That's one I should check out.
DeleteI love the NY Botanical Gardens. So gorgeous. I have gone in the spring and fall- but never during the winter or spring. Such a lovely place to visit. :)

The snow on the mill at the river is really pretty in the winter. If you go, you'll have to check it out.
