Brooklyn Flea in DUMBO
Make a bridge-side afternoon out of a treasure hunt.
Things to do in Brooklyn
Brooklyn rewards a day built around one area. Start with DUMBO’s waterfront, a Prospect Park afternoon, or a gallery-and-food outing rather than crossing the borough repeatedly.

DUMBO: a market and a waterfront
On market weekends, browse Brooklyn Flea before a walk in Brooklyn Bridge Park. Park access is free; rides, attractions, food, and shopping are separate.
A quieter park or gallery day
Choose Long Meadow for a picnic or Sunset Park for a skyline outlook. BRIC and the Center for Brooklyn History offer indoor alternatives; check exhibition opening days.
Before you go
Is Brooklyn Bridge Park free?
Public park access is free. Individual attractions, concessions, and activities may charge separately.
What can families do on a smaller budget?
Start with a park, and compare Brooklyn Children’s Museum’s Thursday free-access window with your schedule and the children’s ages.
