Accessibility

Queens Botanical Garden is dedicated to fostering an inclusive environment for everyone, regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, color, national origin, age, disability (physical or mental), sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, parental status, marital status, and political affiliation, as well as gender expression, mental illness, socioeconomic status or background, neuro(a)typicality, physical appearance, predisposing genetic characteristic or immigration status.

The majority of pathways at the Garden are paved and the Garden’s flat topography make it an excellent destination for visitors with ambulatory disabilities. There are a few periphery pathways that are not paved.  We would recommend that each guest use their discretion and caution when deciding if any unpaved trails are suitable for them. Those areas are:

Woodland Trail | Fragrance Walk | Herb Garden Bridge
