Planting Fields Arboretum

Yes

Planting Fields has an $8 per car fee every day, from April 1st to Labor Day. After Labor Day, the fee only applies to weekend visits. During the winter season, admission is free.

Not sure about that but you can buy an annual Empire State Pass for discount

Yes, no pets allowed, not sure if Coe Hall is open, but the grounds are still beautiful to walk around.

They do!!

First of all, my condolences on your Mother's passing. I would call them just to confirm, but I was there on Mother's Day weekend and it was almost empty. I'm sure that they would be happy to have 20 people celebrating your Mom whenever you can make it over there.

We were there about two weeks ago and did not need reservations. It was a beautiful day and it was not at all crowded.

Yes but the fields are expansive with trees you can sit under that provide nice shade. If you bring a blanket you'll be set!

You could take the LIRR to the Syosset train station and take a cab to the Planting Field as there is a cab company right there. Also it's about 15 mins by car from the station.

but no place to cook

No

I have no idea. Probably on arbor day, whenever that is.

I saw many dogs

$8.00 per car

The entrance fee for parking is $8.00 per vehicle. No fee for number of people.

There r maps at main building. When ever walking in woods with no map pay attention to which side of body sun is on to get back make sure sun is primarily on opposite side . No what direction sun rises and sets

You need to call 📞 them directly

Nope, there is a Cafe though

Yes, very educational.

No only are dogs not allowed, but in the 7 years of me going there, I have never seen a dog. Now of course if you have a pocket or toy dog that you always carry, no one will most likely say anything.

There is a mask mandate

Always open greenhouse open 11-1 thus-sun

They have a map on their web page of the plantings and where to find them, that might help.

Only if it is a service animal.

After September 7, it's free on weekdays.

Im just a visitor as well. And Test they are open everyday through November. However I do suggest that you review their Policies. They are a very picky bunch of people lol. Be prepared to pay an admission fee. But worth every minute of your visit

We were there this weekend and heard 2 very large overhead swarms/hives in the trees. Pretty intimidating. Also saw a drone bee in the bathrooms. Be safe

Yes but only to half capacity. Once park hits half capacity they close it down until enough people leave. Then they reopen it if they are able to. My advice, get there early. We got there at 12 noon and got in without an issue. But as more people find out, it may crowd up faster. Enjoy.

Depends on the time of the year

You need to have permission / permit from the administrator to take formal pictures

I think you can't but try calling the Office

See: https://plantingfields.org/event-calendar/ for scheduled events.

Lovely grounds for a picnic.

Yes there is a $20 park entrance fee that's about it for the whole day and it's beautiful. Hope that helped

Yes, but the greenhouses do have some narrow aisles and an occasional step up or down. Still plenty to see, but realistically, you won't be able to go everywhere.

Check with website...not sure

There will be a Parking fee about $12

Yes, the park is open for Mother's & Father's Day every year. It's very popular.

It is open to public. I come in with my clients many time just pay parking at the gate. You can get permit at the parking lot. They running around to make sure you pay :)

Yes, gates are closed at night. You can check hours of operations on their website.

Yes

Yes you can take as many pictures as you want! I recommend it

It doesn't close for days like that.

It is not a public park. It is a great place to walk and enjoy the scenery.

Free with empire pass

Bikes are not allowed in this park.

Lots of nice hiking trails, but no bikes.

Absolutely

I've done small photoshoots there, and didn't need a permit. If you need a certain area to be free of human traffic, you may need one. But usually you don't.

My best guess is that you should drive there and ask.
