Wave Hill is a beautiful Botanical Garden. It has a diverse landscape, green houses, trees, and birds. It's a peaceful place, you can enjoy from a walk in the trails, sitting in a bench, admire the beauty of nature and recharge your self with positive energy. The cafeteria has a delightful and family friendly menu. You can become a member, visit Wave Hill year round and connect with Nature.

We have a friend who has to use a walker. Is Wave Hill and its environs 'walker-friendly', so that where we can go she can go?

Gerald Cohen | Sep 30, 2018
Nicolas Stanichev | Sep 30, 2018

Yes it's fine but not all areas will be accessible. Part of the good stuff is behind a sloped lawn and /or narrow paths. The cafeteria is down a paved but steep road.

How can I get there by public transportation from the UWS of Manhattan?

Joan Menschenfreund | May 2, 2022
LARRY SPIEGEL | May 2, 2022

Take the #1 IRT to 231st street and transfer to the BX 7 or BX 10 to 252nd street. Then walk about 3 blocks west to the entrance. You can also go to Grand Central and take Metro North to Riverdale. Wave Hill in the past had a pickup bus from that station, but verify that it's still available.
