Opened in 2012 as Brooklyn’s newest sports and entertainment venue, the 18,000 seat Barclays Center is home to the NBA’s Brooklyn Nets and, most recently, the NHL’s New York Islanders.
Nearby, the Brooklyn Museum features a large permanent collection of art and rotating exhibits, and next door to that, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden features 40,000 species of plants from across the globe.
