2. Brooklyn Botanic Garden
Adjacent to the Brooklyn Museum and Prospect Park, the
Brooklyn Botanic Garden is a visitor favorite. The gardens offer over 52 acres of plant life and unique displays. Many people find the Brooklyn Botanic Garden to be a quiet and peaceful retreat in one of the greatest metropolitan areas in the world.
3. Coney Island
Visit a piece of modern Americana and one of Brooklyn’s most famous attractions: Coney Island.
