The botanic garden was founded in 1910 and it is home to thousands of different types of flora spread across no less than 52 acres. If you plan on paying a visit to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden in the springtime, chances are you are going to attend the unique Sakura Matsuri Festival and personally watch the jaw-dropping spectacle offered by the seventy cherry trees blooming alongside the Cherry Esplanade. You should also find the Japanese Hill-and-Pond Garden equally captivating, as it is the first garden that was inspired by the Japanese culture ever to be built in the country. Add the Shakespeare Garden to the list and get lost in the head-spinning scents of crocuses and primrose.
#3: Visit The Prospect Park
If you have visited Central Park before, you are already familiar with the works of talented urban visionaries Vaux and Law Olmsted, who are also the designers of this park in Brooklyn. The greenery spreads across 522 acres and it hosts the Long Meadow and Nether mead. If you love to lay in the grass, have a picnic or just watch passers-by and contemplate the clear sky, this is the place for you.
