Queens Botanical Garden’s Memorial Day listing confirms a Monday, May 29, 2028, opening, making the holiday an exception to its usual Monday closure. It does not give an arrival or closing time, so check with the Garden before setting a schedule.
From April through October, the Garden’s regular hours are Tuesday through Sunday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.; it is generally closed Mondays except for legal holidays. Those routine hours explain why this opening is notable, but they do not establish when visitors can enter or leave on Memorial Day.

Queens Botanical Garden’s general overview traces its origins to a five-acre exhibit at the 1939 World’s Fair and describes the present Garden as 39 acres. That history gives a sense of the scale of a visit, but the Memorial Day notice does not direct visitors to particular garden areas or seasonal highlights.
