Allow time to explore before closing. Your ticket shows your date and entry time.

Finding the garden

The garden is in Bronx Park. The Main Entrance is at 2900 Southern Boulevard, and the Mosholu Entrance, at 2950 Southern Boulevard, is opposite Botanical Garden station.

• By train: Metro-North’s Harlem Line runs from Grand Central to Botanical Garden station in about 20 minutes; allow 10 to 15 extra minutes while the station overpass is closed.
• By subway: take the B, D or 4 train to Bedford Park Boulevard, then the Bx26 bus or a walk of about 20 minutes to the Mosholu Entrance.
• Before arrival: leave time for the journey and entry checks so you are ready for your booked slot.

Useful stops along the way

Facilities can change through the year. Visitors can usually expect:

• The Tram Tour, included with the All-Garden Pass.
• Free manual wheelchairs at the Leon Levy Visitor Center and the Mosholu Entrance.
• The Pine Tree Café for water and refreshments.
• Picnic pavilions, and parking at the Main Entrance.

Dress for the weather: most of the garden is outdoors, and there is no coat check or luggage storage. Ask staff about current arrangements when you arrive.

A visit that works for you

The garden, its buildings and its tour vehicles are accessible, apart from a few areas where the terrain is naturally uneven. Manual wheelchairs can be borrowed free, first come, first served, at the Leon Levy Visitor Center and the Mosholu Entrance.

• Check arrangements for your particular mobility or access needs before travelling.
• Strollers are welcome on the grounds but not inside the conservatory or the library galleries, where stroller parking is provided.
• Service animals are welcome; pets are not. Ask garden staff for assistance or directions during your visit.

Enjoy the garden thoughtfully

• Stay on the paths, and do not pick plants, climb trees or rocks, or disturb the collections.
• Visitors aged 16 and under must be accompanied by an adult.
• Smoking, pets and drones are not permitted; picnic only in the picnic pavilions.
• Tripods, selfie sticks, food and drink are not allowed in the conservatory and the library galleries.
• Wear backpacks on the front in the exhibition areas, and follow staff guidance.

A little care helps protect the plants and collections for everyone.

Make time for a pause

The Pine Tree Café inside the garden serves refreshments; check what is open on the day of your visit.

• Stop for breakfast, lunch, a hot drink or refreshments nearby.
• Leave room in your plans to sit down and enjoy the setting.
• Check opening hours and menus on the day; food and drinks are purchased separately.

Outdoor water fountains are turned off from November to April.

A few details worth planning

• Book ahead: choose the date, time and places you want to visit before making other plans.
• Keep your QR ticket ready: save it on your phone or bring a printed copy, with any proof needed for reduced admission.
• Start in the right place: arrive no more than an hour before the time on your ticket and follow its instructions.
• Dress for the outdoors: comfortable shoes, layers for the weather and a charged phone make the day easier.
• Leave space to linger: allow time for the conservatory, the forest and the gardens, which are spread across 250 acres.
