Events at Everett Children’s Adventure Garden, NY Botanical Garden, Bronx

For Children of all ages

Tuesday – Sundays and Monday holidays: 10:00 am – 6:00 pm.

Throughout the season, children dissect plant parts such as seeds and flowers, experiment to find out if plants make sugar to use as food, investigate bugs that help plants grow, use microscopes to see plants up close, press flowers and plants to take home, and much more. We encourage children to explore, examine, inquire and question just like scientists. A few of the many things children discover include, what’s in a flower by taking it apart and putting it back together – and children have an opportunity to look at things through a bee’s eye view!
