This small (28 acre) estate has become a lovely and well-maintained public garden. There are lots of landscaped areas to explore with many varieties of plants, flowers and trees. There’s 2 mansions and a nice cafe in one. It’s free on Thursday if you can go then. There are lawn chairs spread around and you are welcomed to bring food and drinks, a lovely spot to relax in good weather. Worth a visit!

What a wonderful place to visit in the summer and spring to enjoy the beautiful nature and garden with family or loved ones. It’s a really relaxing garden full of many flowers and plants. If you are looking to do something on a beautiful day, this is the place to visit 💯😍👍

I will start off by saying that it's pretty confusing/difficult to get to. You have to walk down what seems like a winding private road without a sidewalk. A little dangerous, especially at night. Once you actually get there, it's beautiful. The grounds themselves are breathtaking. There is a beautiful view of the cliffs of New Jersey right when you walk in. There are lots of other smaller gardens and hiking trails, so bring your hiking boots. There's a cafe if you want a snack. I went during the fall and was treated to beautiful foliage. I imagine it's also lovely during the spring. The only other downside is that there wasn't really anyone around to ask for help if needed. But besides that, it was a great way to spend an afternoon.

Wave Hill Public Garden is a fantastic place to visit. The amenities, such as clean restrooms and a nice, tidy Cafe, are definitely a plus. The gardens themselves are absolutely stunning, with a variety of colorful flowers and plants to include a water garden with lillies and goldfish. I especially loved the abundance of shaded seating areas along the walking paths, providing a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the surroundings. The convenience of easy street parking or a paid lot makes it accessible for everyone. Additionally, I was impressed by how well they catered to individuals with limited mobility, offering assistance when needed. It was heartwarming to see many families with children exploring the garden as well. Overall, Wave Hill Public Garden is a must-visit, offering a serene and enjoyable experience for all.

Beautiful grounds. Lots of open land and seating for you to sit and observe the lovely views. I saw many people of all age ranges exploring and physical capabilities. Had a snack in the cafe which was solid although their kitchen was closed when I went. There are multiple walking paths for those who like to explore. The gardens and flowers were beautiful. Would absolutely go back for a relaxing afternoon, wish I discovered it earlier in the summer. Views were breathtaking.

One of the most gorgeous venues in New York, this is a dreamy place to tie the knot. When photographing a beautiful celebration here as wedding photographers with Megan & Kenneth, we were in awe at every single aspect. From the outdoor ceremony space overlooking the Hudson River, to the elegant ballroom, this place has it all! And as if that wasn't enough, the team at Wave Hill are incredibly warm and welcoming, making sure that your day goes off without a hitch. If you're looking for an unforgettable wedding venue, look no further than Wave Hill.

Wave Hill is a beautiful location to visit when you want to get of the city but not go too far away. There are beautiful plants and flowers in this "secret" garden. Excellent for bird watching. The views of the Palisades is spectacular. Bring a lunch but NO picnicking, although they do have areas to sit at tables or eat inside. Bring your camera & or binoculars. Reminder, you're only getting in if you're vaccinated so make sure to bring proof of vaccination either the card or on your phone

This place is beautiful! We liked it so much that we will be back soon and as many times as we can, now in autumn it is magnificent, we will see if we go in winter to see how it will look and so on in spring and summer. But now in autumn it’s beautiful! I loved it!

Would come again. Quaint and quiet garden greenery in the Bronx. At times felt like I was in the middle of upstate NY. Love the off the beat hiking trail around the upper part of the part and the lovely little stone benches. The various wooden chairs under the shades of the trees with the idyllic breezes that made today the perfect day. My only point for recommendation for the park is that on the map when on the dirt trails is to add the colored arrows you have on the stairways to the map so us customers may readily know where we are.

A beautiful oasis in NYC. A hidden gem. Good for a getaway from the hustle and bustle. Views across the Hudson to NJ and the Palisades are cool. The gardens are beautifully kept and there is a trail that takes you around the grounds.The terrace overlooking the grounds is a good place for a cup of coffee, light lunch or to set up your virtual office for the day (in silence, of course). Worth a visit. Oh, and the gift shop is a fun one, you will be sure to find a unique gift. Go on now and check Wave Hill out!

Perfect little garden! It’s easy to get around, isn’t too big and perfect for the price of admission $10. We did everything in about an hour to an hour and a half taking our time. When you enter, there is a little cottage with lots of plants outside and inside. This was my favorite part of the garden. A little walk away is a large pergola with a stunning view of the river. There is plenty of space for a picnic or bringing a book and relaxing. They do have a café with some light bites and drinks including iced coffee.

Such a beautiful place to visit! Feels like a "secret garden." Staff was friendly and the grounds are meticulously kept. Lovely afternoon spent exploring these gardens. The variety of plants was incredible too! We saw pitcher plants and flowers that I have never seen before. Very cool place to take the kids.

Took my students there for 2 courses and it was great. Our guides were knowledgeable and patient with my high school students and their communication with me was excellent. I let the staff know in advance what we were studying and they made sure to connect their curriculum to it. My hat goes off to everyone there; from the guides to the gardeners. Wave Hill is BEAUTIFUL. I had not been in over 30 years, since I was in elementary school. I appreciated it so much more as an adult and I know my students were impressed also.

We shot a wedding here for one of our favorite couples ever...Nestled in the heart of the Bronx, Wave Hill provided a backdrop of unparalleled natural beauty, making our job to capture stunning photos SO easy! amidst blooming flowers and lush greenery, it felt like stepping into a fairy tale. The carefully curated landscape, featuring a myriad of colors and textures, provided a stunning canvas for a wedding backdrop Don't forget the greenhouse! A hidden gem within this urban oasis, the greenhouse offered a whimsical setting for our reception. We LOVED shooting here and look forward to being back soon! Check out the photos from this fairy tale!

I'm coming back here. The rainy weather doesn't do it much justice, but it was a great experience. Great place to take yourself to clear your head, get inspired, or take a date. Give it a chance on Thursday when it's free, but I don't mind becoming a member just to take advantage of the views and the environment. Any view overlooking the Hudson River is always a plus, especially when you are still in the Bronx.

It is one of the most beautiful places in NYC to visit. Stunning views of the Hudson from the Bronx and a nice hiking trail. You can come here to soak up the sun or explore the ground and exotic plants. Great place if you're looking for a calming, scenic experience.

This is another place I found by accident but glad I did. Beautiful garden that hard to believe it's in the bronx. You feel like your upstate when you reach this neighborhood. Small but great place to have a picnic or just relax and enjoy the beauty around you.

Nice spot to hang out with family and friends. Beautiful gardens and lovely scenery. There’s a café with food, treats, drinks, and nice indoor + outdoor seating. Located in a nice area in the Bronx, which isn’t very common. Would suggest a visit to anybody in the area 👍

A perfect picnic place during the summer! They have designated picnic areas, clean bathrooms, and shuttles to the subway station every hour too. Great service and friendly staff members:)

This is a true gem nestled in the heart of The Bronx. It offers a perfect escape from the concrete jungle, immersing in a peaceful and serene environment. Also, don't miss the delightful on-site cafe. I absolutely enjoyed my visit and took many pictures (as you can see 😂). Highly recommended!

Amazing place! Beautiful whole year long. It’s my friends absolutely favorite place in whole NY. There is 13$ for parking and 10$ entrance fee. There is little museum with vary exhibitions, botanical garden, fascinating views of Hudson River and very peaceful energy around.

A great spot for some serenity and nature in NYC. A quick walk from the Bx7/10 lines or they have a shuttle from the nearby MetroNorth station. Great variety of plants and flowers, a gift shop, lots of seating, a cafe, and interesting exhibits!

A beautiful space to walk around and enjoy nature. Be sure to check out the greenhouses which has one of the most unique collections of succulents I’ve ever seen. Parking on site is a bit pricey, so don’t make the same mistake I did, since street parking should be available right across the street for free. Shoutout to the gift shop as well which has a fun and eclectic mix of jewelry, floral paraphernalia and super interesting cocktail and sangria mixers!

Wave Hill is beautiful and I can't believe that, in all the years we've lived in the Bronx and Yonkers, we never visited. We actually just happened here while searching for a place to grab a quick bite to eat in the area. We had no idea where we were going. Luckily, it was a Thursday, and they're free to the public on that day every week. Parking is at an expense of $13 per car. We walked through across their grounds to their building that houses their café. The staff is very nice. Wilfredo, Tatiana and Vanessa, were all very helpful and provided service with a smile. We sat and ate, while enjoying the sights from the dining area. Unfortunately, I had to run to work but my husband brought our kiddo back to explore their gardens, conservatory, gift shop and gorgeous views of the Hudson River. We will most definitely be back when it gets a bit warmer but I have to say that we felt like VIPs, having the space to ourselves during this time of year, so early in the day.

Trying to explore NY and just have a good time with the Family, it was great visiting this garden, lots of plants and flowers with info about them, i sure did have a great, relaxing time appreciating the beauty of nature.

Compact garden with a huge variety of interesting plants and riverside views. It truly is paradise on earth. Wave Hill requires much less walking to get all the fun. As I traveled back into the city I felt the reality of daily life set in, like post-vacation blues.

Very nice place. . It was my first time coming to this beautiful, peaceful and relaxing place.. love it!! A place to go with the family and take nice pictures with all the beautiful and exotic flowers and trees they have 🌸💮🌹🌺🌻🌼🌷 I super recommend this place 💯😍🥰

I really enjoyed my visit here . but wish it wasn't raining. Glad I waited it out and sun finally came out so I could continue my venture here, beautiful grounds, would love to come back when it's dry. Lol 😆 it's unbelievable this is the Bronx. Loved the smell of pine everywhere. Even enjoyed a delicious hot cocoa in the Cafe

What a beautiful place! I was a keynote speaker at a private event for educators, school psychologists, mental health professionals, etc at this location. The food was delicious, the staff was super friendly and attentive starting at set-up and throughout the day and the outside/land/garden was peaceful and pretty. There was a short trail that I hiked and a few chairs that faced a beautiful view where I sat for a bit. I loved it and was glad to experience it.

It's a hidden oasis in the middle of the city, a hidden gem. It's a beautiful place where you can go and sit down and enjoy a book or the view or just relax in the ground. Beautiful plants and also have a picnic area and a Cafe to grab a bite..

Lovely grounds and gardens. When we went in September 2023 there was an art exhibition in one of the buildings. There is a cafe to buy food. We spent 2.5 hours there.
