The Brooklyn Botanic Garden is truly a New York must see, and New York Habitat’s Brooklyn accommodations keep guests a mere sniff away from the closest roses.
Set on 52 acres smack dab in the center of Brooklyn, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden is one of the premier public outdoor spaces in all of New York City. The garden features more than 10,000 different kinds of plants from around the globe and each month thousands of new plants are in full bloom.

I definetly agree with John. Brooklyn Botanical Garden is absolutely gorgeous!! I went with a couple of friends and we had a pleasant time.
So it was our three year anniversary last weekend, and my wife and I decided to spend the afternoon at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. The setting was perfect, and we enjoyed our leisurely stroll. We live in the Flatbush Gardens apartments; we’re close to the BBG and in the middle of everything Brooklyn has to offer. I never want to leave BK.
I had to babysitt my little nephew he is 4 years old and I really did not know what to do on this Saturday afternoon. We were talking a stroll close to the Botanical Garden, when he saw one of his friend on line to get in. I told plese anty can we go too, I was not very enthusiastic at the beginning but after 210 minutes walking around in the Garden I loved it. We really had a blast!!
The Brooklyn Botanical Gardens is honestly one of my favorite spots in New York City. It is just gorgeous in the springtime!
