Tropical Zone at Brooklyn Botanic Gardens — "Hot Romance"

Hot Hot Hot Tropical Proposal

Is yours a hot romance? Meet your date in the Tropical Zone of the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens’ Steinhart Conservatory. There you can pop the question next to a waterfall surrounded by huge vines, sexy flowers, and exotic African rain forest vegetation. No man-eating plants are likely to be in the vicinity.


Oh, and cooler couples might head toward the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens' Temperate Zone.

Perfect for Valentine's Day Proposals

The Steinhart Conservatory at the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens is gorgeous in February when their showy South African bulbs are in full bloom. It's perfect for a Valentine's Day outing (and a relaxed daytime alternative to a Valentine's Day dinner at a crowded, busy restaurant).
