    Awesome visit. Our kids loved it even though you can’t touch many of the sculptures. We did a combination of riding the tram and walking around. Seats on the tram fill up quickly and it’s best to leave the stroller behind.

    Storm King is a very beautiful place, I would highly recommend paying it a visit. We rented bikes while we were there, which was kind of expensive but definitely gives you a greater understanding of the park- we literally got to see everything in one day. My one suggestion would be dress warm and bring snacks, especially if you're walking you'll be in there a while if you wanna see everything. Also, just a heads up, you can't bring your own bike into the park.

    Absolutely beautiful city escape that is perfect for a day trip. I’d highly recommend a visit especially in Fall when the leaves are changing. It’s full of large scale contemporary sculpture on rolling hills in a place that you could wander most of a day. Many of the sculptures make for great photo ops! I only wish there were more indoor spaces - most of the bathrooms throughout the park were outhouses and the only dining options were outside but it gets a little chilly in cooler weather to sit still. Would make sure you check the weather before visiting and only come on a sunny day!

    Great scenery and walking. the "art" wasn't really interesting to me. opened at 10am on a Sunday, but cafe was not open and I left feeling like the $18 entrance fee was overpriced, especially if you're bringing a family. My wife and I paid $36 to essentially take a walk through a park and look at some highly debatable "art". The pic is one of the only pieces I enjoyed.

    2-stars simply because the cost is higher than it should be. Drop the price for adults to $10 and it wouldn't feel so much like people are being taken advantage of. The park is nice. The walk is enjoyable. But you can find equally nice parks and walks for free in this area. The art is not worth $18. Go to Vassar and see some real art for free.

    An amazing day trip from the city. It is absolutely beautiful here. I highly recommend arriving early before the crowd starts to get out of control, so that you can appreciate the scenery without tons of people everywhere. We took the 8:30 a.m. bus from Port Authority and it was still pretty empty by the time we got to the park.

    Visited SKAC for the first time this past weekend with my mother and we both agreed that we had an amazing time! We arrived earlier and experienced no difficulties with parking or crowds. The weather was perfect to walk across fields filled with sculptures. However, the highlight of our trip was the view of the fall foliage---absolutely breathtaking. I definitely recommend everyone start their day riding the Tram as it gives you a tour around the site and little narrations in between of sculptures you pass by. Also, they rent out bikes which you could ride along a nice paved route named "Bunny Road", which is known for their tall trees that hover over both sides. Lastly, if you plan to stay for an extended period of time, bring blankets to lie down under the shade as well as a few snacks to munch on!

    Tips: We noticed it got very crowded around noon and by the time we left at around 2, the entire road (not the entrance but the road leading to the entrance) was congested with cars. Hopefully, this explains how busy but worth-the-wait this place is. If you don't like traffic & waiting, avoid noon times and weekends :)

    Breathtaking landscapes presents the amazing work of world wide renowned sculptors. We rent a car to get there and definitely worth it. The website provides great tips for avoiding crowds. Don't hesitate, if you have the chance to go take it.

    A long-time favorite spot! Storm King is a unique experience that can and should be enjoyed by people both young and old. There is a free tram that you can ride all through the park with a recorded guide that tells you about the sculptures that you see along the way. I started taking my children here when they were 2 years old and we just needed to get out of the house and let them run off their energy in a safe space. There are hundreds of beautifully manicured acres to explore by foot or bicycle if you choose. Bike are available on site but they go fast on weekends. There are plenty of picnic areas outside to enjoy a meal or snack. Sun and shade abound so you can take your pick. I recommend visiting in all sorts of weather - the changes in light makes the art work look different and new. An annual membership is a great deal for families or city folks looking for a place to go a few weekends a year. There is no other place like it!

    Great for a one day outing. Nice and peaceful. About an hour from the city. If you have a school ID remember to bring that.

    Aside from being a featured date in Master of None Season 2 (so I'm told, anyway) Storm King is a really neat outdoor museum about an hour north of the city. You'll look up everything on their site, so here are a couple pro-tips:

    1. If you can park at the visitor center do that. It's centrally located.

    2. If not, take a right to the east lot. You'll have a bit more walking up front, but it's the first stop on the tram when you leave.

    3. Suggest going to the North woods first on foot then consider a picnic or lunch at the outdoor cafe.

    4. Plan to spend around 4 hours to walk the whole thing

    A magnificent giant art garden that has some insane pieces on display. The area itself is vast; plan on being here for a good few hours if you want to explore it all. Definitely worth the effort, though. My favorite statue I saw was the Three-Legged Buddha.

    This has a great blend of nature and sculptures contained within roughly 1 square mile. Bring your own refreshments. You can rent bikes but i suggest walking.

    Absolutely the most beautiful spot in New York State. This is truly a hidden gem. You can see fantastic modern metals sculptures among beautiful rolling meadows as you pass by on the Thruway, but would have no idea how to find it on a little country road in Cornwall. Search it out. You won't be disappointed. Admission is a little pricey but you can stay all day, ride the tram for free to view the extensive grounds and sculptures or hike them on gentle trails. Bring a picnic lunch but not your pet (boo!), You can rent a bike, but it would be better if you could bring your own. Get a family pass if you live nearby as there are events throughout the year.
