Top 5 Specialty Museums in Staten Island, New York (NY)
The most suburban of the five boroughs, Staten Island is often neglected as a tourist destination. Take a ride from Manhattan on the Staten Island Ferry and get some of the best views of New York City for free, then stick around and see what Staten Island has to offer. Check out the Himalayan monastery-style Jacques Marchais Museum of Tibetan Art, or visit Historic Richmond Town for a recreation of colonial New York. The beautiful Hamilton Park neighborhood was the setting for "The Godfather."

It is a great place to visit for a walk and see those buildings, if you are lucky you'll find a festival, musical or something going on here every weekend so you can visit it and enjoy. It is well maintained and nice attraction for Staten Island.

Absolutely beautiful!!! Entry pricey. Better to attend without young kids. Displays beautiful and if you have individuals interested, it’s a beautiful and amazing display. Not to MISS, but leave the youngsters behind. They would NEVER appreciate the beauty of the display. Snug Harbor has many other events and displays that I am unfortunately unfamiliar with, but if this was a preview, the rest is not to be missed
