★★★★★Solo travel
“I love coming to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden at any time of the year but is especially nice in April when Daffodil Hill and the Cherry Blossoms are in full bloom. I love the intense colors of the Cherry Blossoms with fluffy pink hues dominating both the lawn and the pathways.”
★★★★★Family
“My family and I visited recently on a cold February day. Ugly snow was still piled on the Brooklyn streets and sidewalks. I absolutely loved this beautiful, quire spot. I saw trees and plants of which I had only dreamed: bonsai, pinion, creosote, cumquat, Venus fly traps, and many more. The different environments are mystical and enchanting.”
★★★★★Solo travel
“This is the second year I came to the last night of the Annual Lightshow and it was excellent. It is always such a great event with the music and festive lights. The show had such interesting displays and I loved the displays in the Water shed section and in the Cherry Blossom sections with the music interpretation.”
