Expect there is something to see all year round but in late summer, there were still some roses in the rose garden. We particularly enjoyed the conservatories with plants from different geographies p… Full review by DABSMO

I try to visit the Brooklyn Botanic Garden when certain flowers come in bloom and the lotus pool was in full bloom. It is such a colorful display of water flowers. The lotuses only have a certain p… Full review by Justin W

Beautiful, we came in March, before spring. Lots and lots of walking. Will definitely come back after spring to see all the beautiful colors. They have multiple greenhouses. In each, they house the p… Full review by N3047WNamyd

The area around the park is very safe. I would not want to be walking around any area of Brooklyn after 11:00pm but during the morning, day and early evening it is very safe and the area is very busy because of both the gardens and the Brooklyn Museum. Add Prospect Park too this time of year and there are people all over so you should be fine. Check out the nice restaurants down Washington Avenue too. You have some great choices.
Hello, I just had a quick question about tickets/reservations: I recently got a membership pass from a local museum to visit the garden, but I went onto the BBG website and it said that I needed to purchase tickets and make a reservation to visit the garden? I'm just a tad confused on how I should proceed, and wondered if anyone else has been in this situation, and how you handled it.

I am a fellow member and when you order your time tickets, you have to order them as a member. When you set the order up, click down to membership and order them under that category. If there are any problems, call the membership office. They are really nice.
If anyone has gone recently, kindly tell me if it makes a difference as to which entrance you use. I'm driving so it doesn't really matter which is closest to subway :) Thanks!

There is no difference in the three entrances to the Gardens. It just depends on what direction you are coming in. When you order the tickets online for what time you will be coming to the park, they will assign the time with the entrance you will be coming in on.
so all that would like to know 1. plenty of parking drive in and park for the Gardens and the Museum small parking fee will be paid when leaving, if your going nows the best to see all trees flower all in full bloom. weather is hot so take it easy if your walking out side, drink your water and have some fun I walked almost 5 miles to view all, places to eat are there

To answer the first question, yes there is parking behind the Brooklyn Museum and it is very reasonable. The parking lot is rarely full except when there is a special event either at the museum or the gardens. There is a very nice restaurant in the Brooklyn Botanical Garden and the food is good but expensive. There are more nice reasonable places to eat when you exit the gardens from the back on Flatbush Avenue, which is gentrifying fast. Try Family Pizza or Camilla's Jamaican Food. I have seen people with water bottles in the park and there is eating in the gardens but they do expect you to clean up after yourself. They do not like trash in the gardens. There is always something in bloom at the gardens. The water lily's are in bloom now. The rose garden is past as well as the tulip garden. Don't miss the rain forest display and the sub tropical gardens as well. When you are done at the gardens, check out the Brooklyn Museum, Prospect Park and the Zoo and the Carousel and the Wyckoff House inside Prospect Park. These can be reached by exiting the park from the back. There is LOADS to do in this area of Brooklyn.
