Where a card says no price or no hours listed, the venue does not publish it. We would rather leave the gap than fill it with a guess. Prices come from each venue's own website, and we publish one only when the figure appears on the page we took it from. Tell us if we are missing one you know.
Common questions about nature and gardens in Westchester
How many nature and gardens are there in Westchester?
We list 3 nature and gardens within 45 miles of Westchester, NY. Every one is a published listing with an address we checked.
Which nature and gardens in Westchester publish their prices?
2 of the 3 here do, and each price was checked word for word against the venue's own page before we published it. The rest do not publish one, so their card says no price listed rather than carrying a guess.
Are any nature and gardens in Westchester free?
Yes. One place gets you in free: Lasdon Park, Arboretum, and Veterans Memorial.
Which nature and gardens in Westchester suit a toddler?
One of them lists an age range starting at two or under. Check the age line on each card, because a place that suits a six-year-old does not always suit a two-year-old.
How did Mini Navigators choose these nature and gardens?
We list every one we have within 45 miles of the center of Westchester. Each is a published place with an address we geocoded and checked, and the business can claim its listing to keep the hours and prices current.
Do adults have to pay?
It varies more than you would expect, from free to full price, and it changes the cost of a visit by a lot when there are two of you. The price on each card is what it costs to get a child in. 2 of the 3 on this page publish a price at all, so call ahead about the adult rate before you rely on it.
Do I need to book ahead?
Rarely, though parking fills early at weekends and a few gardens cap visitor numbers. Where a venue publishes a booking page, the listing links straight to it.
What should I bring?
Water, sun cream, insect repellent and shoes that can get muddy. Whatever else you need is in the notes beside the listings above.
What else is there to do with kids in Westchester?
Westchester has 12 categories of kid-friendly places on Mini Navigators, from playgrounds and museums to splash pads and zoos. The Westchester hub lists all of them.
