We went to see the Orchid show which was stunning. If you can go during the week to avoid the crowds, that would be best. We went on a Sunday afternoon and it was packed. The exhibit was still highly enjoyable and you can easily step aside and take your time to look at the plants. There is a lot of walking and if you have little kids, you will have to keep an eye on them as there are many things on the ground and at child level. For older people, be mindful that there are not so many places they are permitted to sit. If possible, go to the bathroom before you start walking the exhibit as there is a bathroom that is a bit of a trek, and it's annoying to miss the exhibit when you run to the bathroom then have to double back to see what you missed. You can easily spend a few hours here - we saw artists with their sketching pads and colors and if course photographers with the professional cameras. There is quite a bit of parking (unless you are a member, you pay extra for parking) - and additional parking across the street at the beautiful Fordham campus. It's a bit of a walk from the parking, to the conservatory, but it is a pretty walk in the gardens. The orchid show is on exhibit until April, then they change it to something else. The few pictures posted here is just a taste of the exhibit - definitely worth a visit.
