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."

The Staten Island Children’s Museum features 10 indoor and 2 outdoor exhibits, a dedicated art workshop and a performance space. Visitors can explore different climates, examine bugs and other arthropods, learn about construction, build with blocks, hop on board a fire truck and play games throughout the interactive exhibits. The 4-acre East Meadow offers a perfect outdoor setting to run, play and picnic. The Children's Museum is engaging, affordable and focused on STEAM learning. In addition to the exhibits, it hosts a variety of programs throughout the year, including cultural performances & celebrations, summertime "Boogie Woogie Wednesday" dance performances, as well as mini-camps during the summer and during NYC public school breaks.
A good place to go with kids to have a good time, I love the fire truck and the indoor set up since it is well designed to suit best for kids.

This fort played an important role in U.S. history starting during the Revolutionary War.
One of my favorite spots in NYC. Excellent view of Manhattan and the ocean. Perfect for a nice walk, jog or bike.

Richmond County Ballpark is a convenient visit from the SI Ferry, whenever there is an event there, including the Staten Island Yankees minor league baseball team. Good refreshment stand choices also.

Yesterday Flagship brewery sponsored a oyster fest and they did a great job. The oyster stout was delicious and my family and I had 100 oysters. The entertainment was great . The bands played rock and roll and it bought back great memories. Next year I will be there.

Located on the site of the United States Lighthouse Service General Depot, we are here to educate about the history, and importance, of our maritime sentinels. We are not only education! We also make lighthouses and maritime history fun. We host festivals, boat tours, and other special events, all during the year. Come to join us!
I am so pleased I found this compact and informative museum (expansion coming in the next few years). Friendly and knowledgeable staff and some good exhibits (a big "thank you" to Jim for the enthusiastic orientation and local knowledge). A very pleasant way to pass an hour or two. Only a short walk from the ferry terminal and just up the road from the Flagship Brewery for those in need of sustenance. Definitely worth the trip to Staten Island.

As Staten Island's largest and oldest cultural institution, Historic Richmond Town possesses some of the most celebrated and storied historical items of American history. There are more than 130,000 artifacts, photographs, and archival collections dating back to the 17th century. The total number of individual objects or bits and pieces of history in our care is close to a million! At the center of our collections are original historic structures dating back as far as the 1660s. There is no other place like it in New York City. While many museums use structures to showcase their artifacts, our structures are among our most significant artifacts. This provides an authentic platform to share the stories of individuals - ordinary people who've built an extraordinary country.
Richmond town provides the visitor with a chance to travel back to a simpler time when just about everything was hand made. The volunteers there recreate the environment of the early days of what we now know as New York City. The tavern takes you back in tine through music and refeshments of the 17th and 18th century and the buildings and home that have been restored help you to appreciate the many conveniecnes that we take for granted today. The fair in the sumer and the labor day weekend festival offer plemty to do. Place Richmond town on your list of locations to visit.
