Beautiful building. There was a vaccine close nic hosted here and it was incredibly organized. Staff was wonderful. Building is a great resource for events with multiple event rooms, gallery hall and auditorium.
Just found where my first exhibit will be. Love this new space dedicated for artist & education. Beautiful & newly renovated space with a gallery dedicated to artist with a strong voice. Dont forget to experience their garden too. Not only a beautiful juxtaposition between a forest & the concrete jungle but an artistic ambience that makes you feel enchanted.
Spacious, clean facility with caring, competent, professional-acting personnel who will answer all your questions and alleviate any trepidation you may have and expedite your time spent there.
We visited the Ford Foundation during the Perilous Bodies show: the gallery is the perfect size to visit in under an hour and still be flabbergasted by the amazing art on show. We were touched by this moving, beautiful and at the same time revolting exhibition.(The inner garden was in maintenance at the time, so we could not go in)
I love to get away here... Sit tranquilly by the fountain and inhale the scent of the green atmosphere. Unfortunately the atrium has been shut from mid-2016 through until March 2018, Ive read. This has put a damper on my New York winters. Whereas before I had a peaceful, warm, nature retreat to escape to from people on icy cold days, now Im left searching museums (The Rubin Museum is calming also) or cafes for a quiet spot to meditate, clear my mind and reconnect with nature, with no other place in the city filling this void... This building, with its healthy office space designed to oversee (and smell?) the green foliage ground floor and look toward the clear glass windowed sky, has forever imparted its organizations core values and a sense of peace upon me. Its depressing to not have this or any other indoor garden to escape to in this busy city, especially during the cold months. Hurry up and open again!!! I would love to get involved with the Ford Foundation on social change one day too.
Excellent customer service, clean and organized, very professional and caring how you feel. All workers are RNsThis is the best place to get your shots.
A paradise in the middle of a bustling city. The indoor garden enclosed in glass with its piped in sounds is relaxing but can be startling of you dont know its a sensory garden. Checkout the current exhibit as well.
The medical staff and building personnel were very courteous and professional to the seniors and their chaperones getting the COVID vaccination. The process was seamless.
Received my 2nd covid vaccine here. Beautiful building and NYC health department had an organized team administering the vaccine!
My husband got his covid-19 vaccination at this place and it was amazingly organized and clean. The entire staff was very nice and helpful 👍
Great place
Didnt go past the foyer but that alone is worth the visit!
I love this place! Truly beautiful, the lobby is beautifully full of flowers and spaciousA hidden gem of a place
Nice indoor garden! I went on a Saturday and it was open to the public. Also they have an art gallery (free entrance)
A little known midtown gem, the Ford Foundation has a lush tropical garden on the street-level and a 10-story glass atrium. The space is open to the public and a nice place to take a break from the elements.
Beautiful and serene lobby!
Wonderful place to relax in the middle of the day. Its always warm and usually pretty empty. Its a hidden gem of zen amidst the chaos
Visited for the foundations new art gallery opening, impressive!
Friendly staff who will show you the way upon arrival. A beautiful open space. There’s a cafeteria with plenty of healthy food options.
5 star, terrific staff, efficient , professional, a very conscientious Team energy was in place for both of my jabs .. thanks much
Ford foundation its a beautiful building I had both my vaccine injection at the ford foundation
A gorgeous space thats been redesigned literally as a full transparency ecosystem, reflecting the fresh departure Ford has taken.
Beautiful, Quiet public space. Climate controlled too.
If you ever want to escape the nasty smells of New York, step on in! It really does smell fantastic in here.
Went in late March 2018 and was told that it’s only open if you have an appointment. So not technically a public space at all.
Nice facilities in temporary location 19th floor
It something intimate, certain internal deep knowledge.
They told me the atrium will reopen to the public in January 2019.
It was never open to the public whenever there was an exhibition. Always some event happening.
Great Space for Civil Society Engagement and Definitely a driver to Social Change!
Very well kept building. Recently renovated. Very well desigined atrium.
Great people. Free pens!
Went there to get my first vaccine shot

Indoor Paradise
Beautiful Garden
A must see.
Iconic New York building from 1967 by Kevin Roche John Dinkeloo Associates with magnificent indoor garden. It looks as fresh as if it were built yesterday. Dont miss the gallery and its current show everything slackens in a wreck with art by Asian-Americans from the US and the Caribbean, focusing on the plight of Asians taken as indentured workers to the Americas between 1838 and 1917.
An amazing art gallery and a beautiful garden. We were very pleased with how friendly the staff was and they offered that we check it out.The garden area and gallery were both free to visit.
Stumbled upon this building and went to see. Inside there is a huge space with a green oasis from below. Everything is natural. Open until 18.00. Admission is free, everything can be touched to sniff, take pictures)))
Me encantó este edificio, me impresionó tanta sencillez y hermosura en una ubicación millonaria, a una cuadra y poco del edificio de la ONU donde estuve trabajando.
Ford Foundation Headquarters in a Tropical Botanical Garden
Beautiful building with internal garden
Masterpiece by Kevin Roche. One of my favorite buildings of all time. The large interior space in the shape of a glass box, an inner courtyard to which the offices look, magnetizes by its light, warmth, its materials (corten steel, glass, natural stone), its adequate proportions, insertion in the urban fabric, expressive cuts diagonal in their sustaining forms, reflect a unique work that includes even the most beautiful references of American architecture as the Larking building in Wrights Buffalo.
Magnificent building where a huge interior garden reflects the power of the company. What greater power than to allocate all that space to contemplation and personal balance. It is currently closed for works. Hopefully they preserve the beautiful garden
Beautiful green idea and close to art
Very friendly place & welcoming staff. I recommend this little forest in the heart of the building & the exhibition for womens rights!
Stupendous, a botanical garden inside the palace, an oasis
A VERY ORGANIZED PLACE THE STAFF ARE VERY FRIENDLY
Fantastic indoor garden

2022-05-11It was wonderful being present to celebrate TAP being turned back on for those incacerated in NY State. Education is critical for those inside as they return to their lives with their families outside. Thank you FORD Foundation for being a leader in social justice issues.

2019-11-16Due to our lack of direction, we were unable to take full advantage of this beauty!The green space is nice to chill and get out of the hustle and bustle.We, unfortunately were unable to tour the gallery.The staff were friendly and certainly offered for us to check it out. I am uncertain if there is a charge for the gallery, but the garden area is free!

2021-05-20Excellent place to get your COVID vaccine. Staff was very polite and organized. The process was seamless and pleasant. We had a wonderful experience and great memories, especially when later we had a chance to make a comparison with some other vaccination sites.

2021-05-21As of May 21, 2021, the garden is closed. The place is only used now for the vaccine clinic, and you cannot walk around in the garden. The security guard was nice enough to let me take some quick snapshots at the revolving door but that’s it. These opening hours infos are always unclear. It has been my fourth attempt coming to this building over the past three years, and it’s ALWAYS closed or fenced off for one reason or another. Very frustrating.

2021-05-06Five stars for the covid vaccination site. I just got my 1st shot of Monderna without having an appointment (walk in). No wait. Staff is polite and organized. The entrance is full of covid posters, you wont miss it.I was the only person getting a vaccine, and there were roughly 25 staff there. I absolutely felt loved. Saying hi and goodbye to everyone I encountered made my day.
