New York Botanical Garden
Walk from the landmark conservatory into a far larger Bronx landscape shaped by seasons and plant science.
Artwork inspired by Charles Burchfield
New York Botanical Garden is a 250-acre living collection, not just the glass dome in its photographs. The Enid A. Haupt Conservatory carries visitors between cultivated climates; outdoors, plantings, woodland, and the Bronx River form a sequence of habitats. Start with the conservatory if your ticket includes it, then choose an outdoor area by season rather than circling every path.
Admission depends on residence and what you want to see. The All-Garden Pass includes the conservatory and special exhibitions; the cheaper Grounds Access ticket for New York City residents does not. Some NYC-resident Wednesday grounds hours are free. The garden usually opens Tuesday through Sunday, with selected holiday Mondays. Check the day’s exhibition and weather before choosing a ticket.
