Designed by the Olmsted brothers in 1910, this relatively small, but beautiful 50-acre garden holds many delights, including an Elizabethan-style ‘knot’ herb garden and one of North America’s largest rose collections. The garden’s magnificent centerpiece is a Japanese hill-and-pond garden, complete with a teahouse and Shinto shrine.

In late April and early May, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden promenade is aglow with delicate cherry blossoms and hosts an annual Japanese festival, which highlights the country’s distinctive culture, food, and music. Stop off at the Yellow Magnolia Café or the seasonal outdoor eatery Yellow Magnolia Canteen for a variety of modern, vegetable-focused cuisine and an array of beverages. The Coffee Bar in the Visitor Center is open on the Garden's busiest days and serve freshly baked goods and snacks.
