Parks & Gardens in Brooklyn: what to expect

Brooklyn has 3 parks & gardens we would happily take our own kids to. Brooklyn Botanic Garden is the one most families start with. Wander 52 acres of themed gardens, from a Japanese Hill-and-Pond to a fragrant Rose Garden, in the heart of Brooklyn. Brooklyn Bridge Park (Piers 1‚ 6) is the other name that comes up again and again. Kayak, play ball, or picnic on a reclaimed waterfront with the Manhattan skyline and Brooklyn Bridge as your backdrop. Domino Park rounds out the pick of the bunch. A reimagined Brooklyn waterfront park where a sugar-refinery-themed playground meets East River views of the Manhattan skyline.

None of these venues publishes a fixed family ticket price on this page, so check the official site for current admission before you set out.
