From the reviews

A beautiful place to be in nature. My friend and I visited this park on a late fall day. It is small enough for you to go around in an hour and you only pay $6 for entry. You can buy tea or coffee for a dollar at the reception.

★★★★★ — Merveille, Nov 2025

What an amazing event space from start to finish! Beautiful location with amazing staff that make everything so seamless especially for a 7 month pregnant mother !

★★★★★ — Han, Nov 2025

We hosted a kids birthday party as our daughter was turning 5 years old. Communication via email was easy and the event coordinator was very responsive. We selected the Garden Par-tea and everyone enjoyed a nice cold iced tea or lemonade that they were able to take home in a mason jar with a lid.

★★★★★ — Florence, Jul 2026

i came for the Lunar Faire first NYC event and it was so easy to get to. the train is literally cross the street and so is a bus stop. the garden was so gorgeous, full of beautiful flowers and different areas and sections.

Corporate events & private parties at Queens Botanical Garden

“Corporate Meetings & Events” — the venue's website

Corporate events, retreats, or private parties come up for Queens Botanical Garden — greenhouse venues often have real weekday availability since weddings claim the weekends. A quick call answers the three things that matter: weekday and off-season rates, whether the space works for your headcount and A/V needs, and what catering is allowed. If your event lands on a Friday or Saturday in wedding season, ask early.
