Snug Harbor Cultural Center & Botanical Garden

Pleasantly surprised with this garden. It's a fairly large and has some museums with variety of exhibits on site. Great place for a family picnic.

A must see with your own eyes. Beautiful gardens. Great place for a picnic. We enjoyed exploring the grounds.

It is a good course to take a walk with family and friends.
A garden with a Chinese feel has to pay $5 for admission. You can enjoy a different walk.

This place is a fine place to visit and the best part is that IT'S FREE. The Staten Island Museum & The Chinese Scholars Garden charge for admission however.

Absolutely gorgeous place to visit if you go on the Staten Island ferry to view the Statue of Liberty. It was so quiet and surreal. The perfect place to visit to get away from the crowds and relax.

Really nice park. Decent sized for a half day picnic. Buy tickets for the Asian heritage part of the park. Also don’t forget to visit the 9/11 NYFD center.

Multiple times visited this park on the weekends. It’s a free for public, has a clean and accessible bathrooms, a secret spots for meditation, incredible atmospheric views. There are multicultural and historical Museums, rental facilities for parties, romantic overlooks, bird watching, exploring plants at a local garden. There’s an ice cream shop and a cafe for snacks and drinks. Highly recommend for a weekend getaway and/ or special event.

Update:

All this time I didn't even know there is a 9/11 museum inside this park. So I had to let everyone know. it was very overwhelming for me, because it brings too much traumatic memories for me, probably for everyone! That’s why I never did go before to any 9/11 museums..! My first 9/11 museum visit after all this years! The museum is small but they have a lot of original pieces from 9/11. If you ever get a chance please do visit it, just ask someone when you there because it is kinda hard to find. I will post some pictures to show how it looks . I was gonna post pictures but google doesn’t let me lol, so instead I just post a video of the museum for you all..!

Update:

What a beautiful place, didn’t realize the garden is close on Tuesdays , so by the time I will be able to come back the blooms probably be gone !

One of my favorite find in the Island 👌👌❤️❤️Who knew this place existed 😩Took my parents to show some fall colors but not much luck😭

But still we had a wonderful time.
