The Children’s Magical Garden is located on the corner of Norfolk and Stanton Street on the Lower East Side. It is one block south of Houston, across from the Lower East Side Prep on one corner, and the Anna Silver School on the other.

The garden is open Monday through Friday after school, from 4 PM until dusk, and on Saturdays from 2 PM until dusk. We are also often open on Sundays and for extended times on weekdays. Come in whenever the gates are open! Contact us to become a member and open the garden whenever you have time!

The garden is open to everyone, and especially welcomes kids and their guardians.

Please check out our calendar of events for upcoming fun, kid and family oriented activities!

The garden is facing imminent destruction by developers. Please check out our Save the Garden page to find out what you can do to help!
