NYBG Ticket Counter

New York’s 290-acre botanical garden anchors the Bronx, its living collections and seasonal displays drawing visitors year-round. The NYBG Ticket Counter sits at the southern gate, a practical starting point before stepping into the meadows and conservatories beyond. South Bronx neighbors and outer-borough visitors alike use this entrance for swift access to meadow trails, evergreen collections, and seasonal shows like the Orchid Show each spring.

Admission here bypasses long queues. Families heading for the Everett Children’s Adventure Garden swing by early to grab entry wristbands with minimal wait. The ticket booth also handles will-call pickups and same-day plant sales, turning a quick stop into an opportunity to plan outings. Look for posted guidance on self-guided tour booklets—useful if you want to map your own route before heading deeper into the grounds.

Call ahead or check the NYBG Ticket Counter map for seasonal notes and capacity updates. The booth operates daily during public hours—call 718-817-8716 before you arrive. (You won’t miss the gate—directions are right by the stairway.)
