Free Winter Admission
About
Queens Botanical Garden in Flushing drops admission completely from December 16 to March 31, so entry is free to everyone on every day the garden is open during that period. From April 1 to December 15, admission is $6 for adults, $4 for seniors aged 62 and over, $4 for students with ID and $2 for children aged 4 to 12. Children aged 3 and under and members are free. Hours as printed: November to March, 8 am to 4:30 pm, Tuesday to Sunday; April to October, 8 am to 6 pm, Tuesday to Sunday. The page lists no Monday hours, which implies the garden is closed that day, but does not say so explicitly. Winter is a quiet time to walk the grounds, though the page does not say what is in bloom. The garden is at 43-50 Main Street, Flushing, NY 11355. Take the 7 to Flushing–Main St and walk about ten minutes south. Our calendar lists the free winter period starting on December 16, 2026. Queens Botanical Garden's volunteer mornings continue into December, including Thursday horticulture days through December 24. For other free garden access, New York Botanical Garden is free for NYC residents on Wednesdays, and Brooklyn Botanic Garden offers Community Tickets.
