Description:

Step into a living museum at the New York Botanical Garden, a sprawling, 250-acre (100-ha) urban oasis in the Bronx. This charming, cultivated landscape features 50 different garden and plant collections and the last remaining old-growth woodland in New York City.

Before the arrival of European settlers in the 17th century, all of New York was covered by dense forest. Today, only 50 acres (20 ha) of this ancient woodland remain, and they're located at the heart of the New York Botanical Garden. Just 20 minutes from Grand Central Station, the garden welcomes more than 900,000 visitors each year seeking a green escape from the concrete jungle of the Big Apple.

Wander shaded trails through the arboretum, walk along pink blossom-blanketed trails when the cherry trees are in bloom, and breathe in the heady perfume of the rose gardens. Azaleas and flowering rhododendron bushes paint the slopes in bright hues as spring turns to summer, and in autumn, the golden leaves of the northeast are on fiery display.

Stroll to the Haupt Conservatory, a wrought iron-framed, crystal palace-style greenhouse from the 1890s filled with tropical palms and heat-loving succulents. With year-round arts and culture programs, family-attentive activities, and educational exhibits, there's no shortage of natural beauty to explore in this National Historic Landmark garden.
