Storm King Arts Center is a magical day trip just 1 1/2 hours from New York City. This sculpture park with breathtaking views of the beautiful Hudson Highlands, celebrates the relationship between nature and sculpture.

Five hundred beautifully landscaped acres provide a unique backdrop for 120 larger-than-life abstract sculptures. At times, you might even feel as though you were starring in one of those "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids" movies.

Founded in 1960, many of the sculptures are post-war reflections. There are some works on display by contemporary sculptors as well. The park holds special events throughout the year and daily tours at 2pm. Besides taking guided tours visitors are encouraged to meander the grounds.

ShortLine Buses will drop you at the Friendly’s Restaurant in Vail’s Gate where you can call and get a taxi transfer to the park (included in the package) or stop for lunch before calling.

The grounds are so lovely at Storm King, we recommend bringing a picnic lunch to enjoy. Note that Storm King does not have any dining facilities other than a few vending machines, so plan your meals accordingly.
