Reviews of Cherry Esplanade
"The cherry blossoms are in full bloom and the view is breathtaking. It was very crowded. We paid $25 parking to park in the 900 Washington avenue parking lot since we thought it was impossible to find street parking after we saw the crowds and the chaotic traffic on the road. The cherry blossoms here looked much more spectacular than the ones in the New York botanical garden."
"When in full bloom, the Cherry Esplanade at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden is a wonderland of pink blossoms. This perennial favorite draws crowds, so try to visit early in the day or on a weekday. April is the month for cherry blossoms, but the Botanic Garden website also keeps a cherry blossom watch so you can plan your trip for peak blooming."
"Yes! I finally got the chance to visit the Cherry Esplanade inside the Brooklyn Botanic Garden when it's blooming. It's a great location for taking photos, granted you find a quiet spot to take a photo without people. Needless to say, the place is extremely popular around the Sakura Matsuri event. The 4 long rows of cherry blossom trees make a very impressive backdrop, and thus making this the premiere location for photographing cherry blossoms in NYC in spring."
"We visited the Cherry Esplanade during early May this year while the Japanese Cherry Blossoms were in full force. This was a beautiful area within the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens, well worth spending time to visit if you are in the NYC area at this time of year. Within the Botanic Garden, just after the Visitor Centre, you'll find the start of the Cherry Walk which takes visitors through the Cherry Esplanade. You will encounter an incredible display of pink from the four main rows of cherry blossom trees. Expect to see deep pink blooms and immense colour, a beautiful thing to see and experience. We spent around one hour sitting under a tree, enjoying the warm weather and beautiful trees. Another 20-30 minutes were spent wandering the Japanese Hill and Pond Garden which was also nice. There were further grounds to explore but our time was short so we ended our trip after 1.5 hours and returned to Manhattan."
