- AOuLisbon, Portugal40 contributionsNice place by the beach. We took the metro. Was easy to get there. Typical place as you know it from the movies and series. It's worth the trip. It can be done in a morning or afternoon.Written 27 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Bogey BurlyNewark, NJ3 contributionsThe serene ponds and lush greenery provided the perfect backdrop for our romantic moments. We loved exploring the different themed gardens, each offering its own unique charm. It was a peaceful retreat from the city's hustle and bustle.Written 11 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Thomas VOakland, CA19,521 contributionsOne of the best features of Brooklyn, this is an elevated park and stroll above the waterfront and harbor. The views of lower Manhattan and the harbor are superb. This has been a film site often. Good place to come in pleasant weather, stroll and sit. The length of the Promenade is only a few blocks.Written 11 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Thomas LiamOttawa, Canada561 contributions"Brooklyn Bridge Park" is a relatively self-explanatory name for this communal space. It is a park, yes. But it is also a vista, and potentially the most important activity you can do in the city of Brooklyn.
We arrived in the park via Ferry, which was already a stupendous experience in and of itself (I highly recommend it). As we began to wander, the sun also began to set. We were treated to incredible views of the Bridge and the Manhattan skyline in the distance. We could also see the Manhattan Bridge and One Manhattan Square as well.
As someone who has never been particularly romantic about the city of New York, this experience may have been a turning point. There is scarcely a moment in my life that I could describe as majestically as this one. I now understand why this city is a special place: nowhere in the world could you experience a view anywhere near as unique as this. And it makes you proud to be a human being; because you see right before you all we are capable of creating when we work together; the beauty and hope we can bring to this world, the structures we can build with the bountiful resources given to us by this planet, the literal streets and paths we can forge to bring every single person closer together in less time than ever.
As we watched the sunset, and the lights illuminate on the bridge, we sat in total wonder for an undefined amount of time. Eventually we returned to the ferry, and stood in silence watching the bridge disappear over the horizon. We all knew what we had just experienced without having to utter a word.Written 16 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Once you get off the subway, the walk is a quick one. You could spend several nights here and still not see all the lights.Written 3 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Rose HChicago, IL29 contributionsSuper cool historic look at New York City’s transit system. Lots of info to read and old artifacts to play with. The lower level with all the old train cars is amazing and fun. One note: bring your coat if going in the winter. Since the museum is in an old subway station the heating is limited.Written 24 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Thomas VOakland, CA19,521 contributionsWhat an amazing resource! It's a huge park in the middle of Brooklyn with subway stops all around, so it is easy to get to.
