The quick take

Drawn from this listing's ratings, amenities, hours and how it stacks up against other gardens in New York.

What works

  • Consistently well reviewed

    4.8 stars held across 6,376 reviews is not a fluke — people keep going back.

  • The best-rated in New York

    Measured against the 19 rated gardens we track in New York.

  • A genuine local landmark

    6,376 reviews is the kind of number a place only reaches when the whole city knows it.

  • Open every day

    The same hours all week (9:00 AM – 7:00 PM), so there is no schedule to memorise.

  • Free parking

    A free lot and free street parking — one less thing to pay for, though paid options sit alongside it.

Worth knowing first

  • Dogs are not permitted

    Leave them at home, or look at the dog parks listed for the same city instead.

  • Popular enough to be busy

    6,376 reviews cuts both ways. Weekend afternoons draw a crowd, so go early or go midweek if you want it quiet.

  • A narrow window to fit it in

    Open 9:00 AM – 7:00 PM and no longer — an early start is out.

  • Strongly seasonal

    What is in bloom drives the whole visit. In winter this is a barer, much quieter place than the photographs suggest.
