​​​Activities
​​
We highly recommend arriving early and visiting the Garden before the wedding! It's a world-class botanical garden with a beautiful Japanese-style pond garden, rose garden, native wildflower garden, and lots more to see.
​
If you are traveling with kids, the Prospect Park Zoo is located very close to the Botanic Garden. It is a very manageable size with lots to see, and sea lion feedings several times a day. There is also a carousel located at the south entrance.
​
The Brooklyn Museum is an encyclopedic art museum with 140,000 objects in its permanent collection and a rotating program of exciting special exhibitions.
​​
Prospect Park is a beautiful 526-acre public park that adjoins both the Botanic Garden and Brooklyn Museum. It was designed by Frederic Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, and opened to the public in 1867. There are lots of different trails and areas to explore for walking, running, or biking.
