37. Queens Botanical Garden


If you are a friend of all things living, or just care to find beauty in nature, the Queens Botanical Garden might be a feast for your senses.   The garden is stuffed in the center of a dense urban cement landscape which makes it look almost like a colorful picture on a bland wall.  You can find the beauty of nature inside one of the most commercialized cities in the world.
You can visit this quiet and beautiful oasis for a small admission.  It only costs $4 for adults and $2 for students and kids.  Children under 3 get in for free.
The Queens Botanical Garden farmers’ market starts on July 2 if you are interested in supporting the local farmers.  You won’t find more delectable items for better prices than you will at the market.   It runs from July to November.
The botanical garden has extended summer hours:
Monday - Closed
Tuesday through Friday, 8 am to 6 pm
Saturday and Sunday, 8 am to 6 pm
You can learn more about the Queens Botanical Garden by visiting their website.
