Everett Children's Adventure Garden, NYBG - Botanical garden in Bronx - , USA

We love the Children's adventure garden! I used to be a volunteer here over 15yrs ago and it's so cool to watch my kiddos enjoy it now. Always check before you visit to see what kind of fun activities they'll be doing at the Children's garden. When we went, we got to plant Venus fly traps and take them home with us! My son loves his new buddy. They had a lot of other arts and crafts activities as well. Definitely recommend visiting.

The botanical garden itself is breathtaking every season of the year full of beautiful colors an inspiring smells. Also you have this activity center right next to the picnic area. Your kids will enjoy every piece of it including the ‘build your own nest’, the tulips, the pond and the incredible opportunity to witness nature at its best.

This was the perfect place to take my 2nd graders for our science unit.The kids are learning about Pollination and sharing the planet and human impact on the environment. There were so many classes on a trip to the Botanical Gardens. First we walked the grounds a bit, then we had lunch. When we got to the Everett center we waited at the gate for our tour guide to come and get us. The children where taught the different parts of a flower and they were asked questions about what they already knew. She gave them interesting information and used a hand puppet to model how the process works. The students dissected and studied their own flowers. They were taken to a garden to observe bees and butterflies, they collected data on what they saw. Also later they analyzed seed and planted a keepsake plant. It was truly lovely and though there were so many schools it ran smoothly due to the system and organization of the touring. We absolutely loved it.

We went for the Kusama exhibition where "Kids Get Cosmic". The children's garden is decorated with the kasuma theme throughout and has a range of activities for kiddos to engage. Story time, arts and crafts and scavenger hunts. It was a nice visit.

We didn't go at a time where full programming was available, but we loved it here! The books are well curated with comfy spots for reading, there were bins of toys and a lovely dollhouse. My kid loved the magnification camera allowing him to see close ups of bugs on a TV screen. He really loved going into the greenhouse to water the plants (I could barely tear him away). I can only imagine how much more he would have loved being there during programming hours with the high school "explainers" and fun activities. My kid even loved the outdoor play house and sweeping the leaves out to the garden. Wonderfully done, lovely building, and well-maintained!

Love it here.its my getaway for a few hours. Its like your in the country instead of " The Bronx".

Kids had a splendid time, we spent over 3 hours. They especially loved the nest area, pretending to be birds! Cute pumpkin installations for the fall.

I enjoy it so much I was alone but I love the being able to enjoy nature is a hectic City.
