Salt Marsh Nature Center

Brooklyn

Brooklyn's biggest secret isn't a bar or a restaurant: it's 530 acres of wild salt marsh where herons stalk through tall grass and horseshoe crabs spawn in the tide. Marine Park's Forever Wild Preserve feels like you've left the city entirely, with trails winding through wetlands that teem with birds, turtles, and the occasional snake sunning on a log.

Festival of Lights: Winter Solstice

December 21 at 5pm

Trade city lights for starlight on the year's longest night. Gather around a crackling campfire for constellation spotting and winter tales with the Urban Park Rangers. It's Brooklyn's coziest way to welcome back the sun.
