Brooklyn Botanic Gardens is the coolest place to be this August. Families can have fun dropping by the Kid’s Discovery Stations from 10:30 am to 12:30 pm to learn all about plants and composting, and then listen to garden stories.
Tuesdays through Saturdays, weather permitting, there is always a spot in the garden to check in and enjoy the beautiful surroundings.
For a more active adventure, children 8 through 12 can sign up for a plant walk on Aug. 6 and 13 from 5:30 to 6:30 pm. They will discover the different species of plants that line the walks of the garden and learn how to identify each variety.
Plant walks on Aug. 6 and 13 from 5:30 to 6:30 pm; $15 for non-members, and $12 for members.
The Kids Discovery Stations are open Tuesdays through Saturdays from 10:30 am to 12:30 pm through August. Free with general garden admission.
