Brooklyn Botanic Garden

#tesaruonbudget Forget shelling out hundreds for a weekend getaway upstate; the BBG offers the most concentrated, jaw-dropping fall color within a subway ride’s reach. The admission price is an absolute bargain for the sheer number of ecosystems you can explore—from the desert room to the vibrant Cranford Rose Garden—all transitioning beautifully. During October, the changing leaves of the Osborn Garden and the Rock Garden provide endless, free visual entertainment. If you’re looking to maximize your dollars while soaking up peak autumn vibes, this is the definitive answer. A full day of beauty for the cost of a fancy sandwich. #tesaruonbudget because nature's spectacle is the best free entertainment.
