Best Botanical Garden in Secaucus

"Just a hop, skip, and jump away from Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Queens is the Queen’s Botanical Garden. It’s a pretty impressive, 39-acre garden that evolved from a 5-acre “Gardens on Parade” exhibit that was originally part of the 1939 World’s Fair. Since then though, this is one of those best parks in NYC that has grown in size and scale – a botanical oasis that now features an Annual Garden, a Compost Site, a meadow, an arboretum (the Weeping Honeylocust andWinterhzel are my faves), a Bee Garden, the Cherry Circle and Four Seasons Border (made of Cherry Trees in honor of loved ones who have died), the Children’s Garden, the Circle Garden, the Wetland and Woodland Garden, the Unity Garden (from the original World’s Fair), Pinetum (a collection of cone-bearing trees), and more."

"If you live in Queens and you like yourself some beautiful gardens visiting this one is a no-brainer. From a wetlands garden to a cheeky little meadow you can find a wide range of botanical goodness here. And if you are looking for a place to chill and relax this is pretty much a perfect little urban get away."

"You could also check out the Queens Botanical Garden here if you are so inclined! Finally, you’ll stop in my favorite part of Queens: Flushing. Exiting the train at Main Street-Flushing is pretty much the closest thing to going to China. It’s pandemonium for the senses in all the best possible ways."

If you have kids in tow, you should definitely stop by the interactive children's garden."

"Duration: 2 hours. A pre-booked ticket lets you visit the best outdoor attraction in New York without queueing to buy your entrance ticket. A fantastic opportunity to take a break from New York's busy city centre and get a breath of fresh air."

"Throw on your cowboy hat and head to the Bronx Equestrian Center for a trail ride through Pelham Bay Park. After, hit up City Island for a nice seafood lunch."
