Wave Hill Public Garden & Cultural Center - Garden in Bronx - 4900 Independence Ave, USA

I'm coming back here. The rainy weather doesn't do it much justice, but it was a great experience. Great place to take yourself to clear your head, get inspired, or take a date. Give it a chance on Thursday when it's free, but I don't mind becoming a member just to take advantage of the views and the environment. Any view overlooking the Hudson River is always a plus, especially when you are still in the Bronx.

Wave Hill is beautiful and I can't believe that, in all the years we've lived in the Bronx and Yonkers, we never visited. We actually just happened here while searching for a place to grab a quick bite to eat in the area. We had no idea where we were going. Luckily, it was a Thursday, and they're free to the public on that day every week. Parking is at an expense of $13 per car. We walked through across their grounds to their building that houses their café. The staff is very nice. Wilfredo, Tatiana and Vanessa, were all very helpful and provided service with a smile. We sat and ate, while enjoying the sights from the dining area. Unfortunately, I had to run to work but my husband brought our kiddo back to explore their gardens, conservatory, gift shop and gorgeous views of the Hudson River. We will most definitely be back when it gets a bit warmer but I have to say that we felt like VIPs, having the space to ourselves during this time of year, so early in the day.

What a wonderful place to visit in the summer and spring to enjoy the beautiful nature and garden with family or loved ones. It’s a really relaxing garden full of many flowers and plants. If you are looking to do something on a beautiful day, this is the place to visit 💯😍👍

Took my students there for 2 courses and it was great. Our guides were knowledgeable and patient with my high school students and their communication with me was excellent. I let the staff know in advance what we were studying and they made sure to connect their curriculum to it. My hat goes off to everyone there; from the guides to the gardeners. Wave Hill is BEAUTIFUL. I had not been in over 30 years, since I was in elementary school. I appreciated it so much more as an adult and I know my students were impressed also.

Wave Hill Public Garden is a fantastic place to visit. The amenities, such as clean restrooms and a nice, tidy Cafe, are definitely a plus. The gardens themselves are absolutely stunning, with a variety of colorful flowers and plants to include a water garden with lillies and goldfish. I especially loved the abundance of shaded seating areas along the walking paths, providing a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the surroundings. The convenience of easy street parking or a paid lot makes it accessible for everyone. Additionally, I was impressed by how well they catered to individuals with limited mobility, offering assistance when needed. It was heartwarming to see many families with children exploring the garden as well. Overall, Wave Hill Public Garden is a must-visit, offering a serene and enjoyable experience for all.

Such a beautiful place to visit! Feels like a "secret garden." Staff was friendly and the grounds are meticulously kept. Lovely afternoon spent exploring these gardens. The variety of plants was incredible too! We saw pitcher plants and flowers that I have never seen before. Very cool place to take the kids.

Would come again. Quaint and quiet garden greenery in the Bronx. At times felt like I was in the middle of upstate NY. Love the off the beat hiking trail around the upper part of the part and the lovely little stone benches. The various wooden chairs under the shades of the trees with the idyllic breezes that made today the perfect day. My only point for recommendation for the park is that on the map when on the dirt trails is to add the colored arrows you have on the stairways to the map so us customers may readily know where we are.

A beautiful space to walk around and enjoy nature. Be sure to check out the greenhouses which has one of the most unique collections of succulents I’ve ever seen. Parking on site is a bit pricey, so don’t make the same mistake I did, since street parking should be available right across the street for free. Shoutout to the gift shop as well which has a fun and eclectic mix of jewelry, floral paraphernalia and super interesting cocktail and sangria mixers!
