Queens Botanical Garden

43-50 Main Street, Flushing, NY 11355

Flat terrain, mostly paved paths, modest admission, and compact themed gardens make this a practical slower-paced outing with children, adults, and older relatives. Wheelchairs are free to borrow, strollers are welcome, caregivers enter free with an eligible visitor, and recurring Wednesday and Sunday free windows provide an easy budget option. A few peripheral paths are unpaved.

Cost: Adults $6; seniors 62+, students, and visitors with disabilities $4; children 4-12 $2; under 4 free; free Wednesdays 3-6 p.m. and Sundays 9-11 a.m.; free December 16-March
