The ultimate East Coast blossom destination! 🌸🏆 - 🌸 With temps rising, the park's blossoms are **exploding**! Early varieties are blooming now, but **mid-April** will bring the full spectacle of white and deep pink flowers. (Check official dates!) 🌸 **Fewer crowds, better views**—skip DC's chaos and stroll peacefully here. Best part? **Totally FREE**! Easy parking near **Cathedral Basilica**. 🚗💨 🌸 Don’t miss the **Cherry Blossom Festival (April 5-13)**—10K runs, guided tours, and more! 🏃‍♀️📱 🌸 From Manhattan: **30-min drive** or take PATH to Newark + bus/rideshare. Easy peasy! 🚆✨ Missed DC? No worries—**NYC’s backyard sakura show is just as stunning**!
