Snug Harbor Cultural Center & Botanical Garden

Mid Island

Once a 19th-century haven for "aged, decrepit, and worn-out sailors," this 83-acre waterfront campus now blends Greek Revival architecture with 14 botanical gardens, including the authentic New York Chinese Scholar's Garden. Wander cobblestone paths, explore museums and galleries, or simply nap under a tree.
