This is one of the gems of the borough and when you visit, you should plan to stay a while since there is so much to see. Lots of different corners with different plants, lots of themes. Many are c… Full review by Thomas V
Hello, I just had a quick question about tickets/reservations: I recently got a membership pass from a local museum to visit the garden, but I went onto the BBG website and it said that I needed to purchase tickets and make a reservation to visit the garden? I'm just a tad confused on how I should proceed, and wondered if anyone else has been in this situation, and how you handled it.

We are specifically members of the gardens and just had to select the day, time and entrance (there are 4 entrances) and if available we just went at that time straight in. I don't know how being a member of the local museum works. They do share the same parking lot BTW the museum and the gardens. We do not purchase tickets just download them from the site as members. Your invite is just that. You maybe responsible for tickets cost not being a direct member of the gardens. I would call the gardens and inquire.
If anyone has gone recently, kindly tell me if it makes a difference as to which entrance you use. I'm driving so it doesn't really matter which is closest to subway :) Thanks!

There is no difference in the three entrances to the Gardens. It just depends on what direction you are coming in. When you order the tickets online for what time you will be coming to the park, they will assign the time with the entrance you will be coming in on.
so all that would like to know 1. plenty of parking drive in and park for the Gardens and the Museum small parking fee will be paid when leaving, if your going nows the best to see all trees flower all in full bloom. weather is hot so take it easy if your walking out side, drink your water and have some fun I walked almost 5 miles to view all, places to eat are there

To answer the first question, yes there is parking behind the Brooklyn Museum and it is very reasonable. The parking lot is rarely full except when there is a special event either at the museum or the gardens. There is a very nice restaurant in the Brooklyn Botanical Garden and the food is good but expensive. There are more nice reasonable places to eat when you exit the gardens from the back on Flatbush Avenue, which is gentrifying fast. Try Family Pizza or Camilla's Jamaican Food. I have seen people with water bottles in the park and there is eating in the gardens but they do expect you to clean up after yourself. They do not like trash in the gardens. There is always something in bloom at the gardens. The water lily's are in bloom now. The rose garden is past as well as the tulip garden. Don't miss the rain forest display and the sub tropical gardens as well. When you are done at the gardens, check out the Brooklyn Museum, Prospect Park and the Zoo and the Carousel and the Wyckoff House inside Prospect Park. These can be reached by exiting the park from the back. There is LOADS to do in this area of Brooklyn.
