Headed to Brooklyn? Here are the best things you can do in NYC’s most populous borough. Whether you’re a New Yorker or a tourist visiting from across the ocean, Brooklyn has so much to offer.

Coney Island

Enjoy a relaxing day at the “city’s playground” that welcomes hundreds of thousands of tourists every year. From the beach to movie nights and numerous concerts, you’ll definitely find something up your alley to spend an enjoyable day.

Brooklyn Botanic Garden

This wonderful oasis of peace and quiet will give you a break from the busy and often noisy city streets. The garden is 110 years old and home to thousands of different plants laid out over 52 acres.

Prospect Park

Designed by the same team that’s behind Central Parks, Brooklyn’s Prospect Park offers plenty of room for picnics and walking around. It includes many activities for kids, too.

Brooklyn Bridge

Brooklyn Bridge connects millions of commuters to and from Manhattan, but the bridge itself is one of the city’s most iconic structures. You can look for spots that offer a Brooklyn Bridge view or walk over it yourself.
