Fall Fun at the New York Botanical Garden

The New York Botanical Garden is a great destination for visitors who want to enjoy New York’s fall colors while taking a break from the busy streets of the city. The Garden spans 250 acres and includes extensive plant collections, gardens, walking paths, and the Thain Family Forest, the largest remaining tract of old-growth forest in New York City. As temperatures cool, the landscape becomes an especially scenic place for an autumn walk.

Fall visitors can explore seasonal highlights throughout the grounds while also checking the Garden’s calendar for exhibitions, tours, family programs, and other special events taking place during their stay. The changing foliage typically adds even more color to popular areas throughout the Garden, making October and November an appealing time to visit. Because exhibitions and seasonal programming can vary by date, visitors should review the Garden’s current schedule before making the trip.

A visit to the New York Botanical Garden can easily become a full-day fall outing from Harbor Motor Inn. Guests can spend several hours exploring the grounds and then continue their day with dining or sightseeing elsewhere in New York City. It is a particularly good option for couples, families, photographers, and anyone looking to experience a quieter side of New York during the fall season.
