1. Soak in the Beauty of Central Park

Central Park, an iconic destination in New York City, is a natural paradise nestled within skyscrapers. The perfect place to witness spring in full bloom, you can enjoy leisurely walks flanked by cherry blossoms, tulips, and daffodils. Pack a picnic lunch to eat on the Great Lawn, or rent a rowboat to drift along the lake.

2. Discover Botanical Gardens

3. Explore Local Cherry Blossoms

There are plenty of outdoor spaces across the city to enjoy the all-too-fleeting cherry blossom season while they are on full display. In addition to Central Park and the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, you can view some cherry blossoms at Green-Wood Cemetery, Little Island, Riverside Park, Randalls Island Park, and Roosevelt Island.
