    The Azalea Garden isn't just beautiful in spring! Featuring nearly a mile of woodlands paths and one of NYBG's most spectacular vistas, the Azalea Garden is beautiful year round.

    Watch choo-choos go vroom-vroom at the Holiday Train Show. A dozen model trains traverse an incredibly detailed NYC scene, including landmarks like the Empire State Building & Radio City Music Hall. Read more

    A beautiful place to visit. Go for a relaxing walk & take in the scenery of 1 million plants on 250 acres. Be sure to bring the family & take lots of pics. Also check out the Rose Garden & Orchid Show

    the Holiday Train Show is awesome for kids and adults alike but come early to beat the crowds. most every historical building and bridge in NYC is recreated to painstaking detail from plant materials.

    I was born in NY and I live in NJ now. I have been to the Bronx zoo as a kid & took my daughter as an adult on a school bus. No one ever mentioned the beauty of the NY Botanical Garden. This is a GEM!

    Always love it here. The Frida show is a little disappointing if you've visited her home /museum in Mexico City. Nevertheless the gardens are so splendid, you're just thrilled you made the schlep!!

    First visit was for the holiday train show - really impressive collection of NY landmarks and the level of detail is incredible. Great for kids just remember this is a see and not touch exhibit.

    After viewing the Frida Kahlo exhibit (which smashed attendance records for NYBG) I signed up for membership! Lovely grounds, informative staff, good restaurant. Going back for train show!

    Bring walking shoes and plan a day around this "forest in the hood". Lots of areas to explore. Lookout for chipmunks, grass snakes, w/ an occasional cyote that has been spotted before! Do the tram!

    The holiday train in the winter is a nice addition to an already impressive collection. For the winter train there are time slots that you apply for.

    truly a gem hiding in plain sight within the vastness of this crowded city. well-maintained, frequently upgraded, with plenty of acres for strolling, breathing, observing, listening to the elements.

    The NYBG is literally a fairy tale! So dreamlike it can legitimately pass for some mythical place in a Disney movie! Tons of beautiful forestry/plant life you won't even feel like you're in the Bronx!

    NYGB is an amazing, very special place -- worth a visit in any weather! If you have the chance, walk the native forest trail. Wind through the original woods before it became the Bronx. Fascinating!

    It is so beautiful here. And so annoying to be in the middle of natural beauty and never leave asphalt. There is so much grass, let us walk on it! Also, $18 parking 😱

    Come as early as you can! Start with the tram tour because it gets busy as the day goes on. Then work your way through the Haupt building and the library!

    Whether you're going for a run or just getting a nature break away from the busy city, this is the perfect place to go. It's also free if you go on Wednesday, Sunday morning or if you're running.

    The holiday train show is a nice exhibit, lots of intricate details. But not sure that it's really the best exhibit for kids. Super crowded on the weekends.

    Make time for the gift shop, and check out the extensive book selection. Hungry? Eat at the Garden Cafe. Inexpensive, clean and yummy! Grab a $4.50 beer or the dish of the day.

    Beautiful presentation of Orchids. Unfortunately the orchestra was cancelled, but the bus tour was very pleasant as well. Good in the garden is overpriced for what you receive... Welcome to NY
