Snug Harbor, located close to the Staten Island Ferry, was originally built as a home for retired sailors. It eventually became a cultural center for Staten Island and the rest of New York. It offers 83 acres of gardens, museums, theaters, and seasonal activities. Snug Harbor is free every day. Don't forget to check out the ancient Chinese garden!

Initially built in the 1800s as a home for retired sailors, Snug Harbor Cultural Center & Botanical Garden is said to be the largest ongoing adaptive reuse project in America. The 23 historical buildings, nine botanical gardens and 10 acres of wetlands—set on an 83-acre campus—are the elements of a regional arts center where history, architecture, visual art, theater, dance, music and environmental science provide dynamic experiences for all ages. The venue, a Smithsonian affiliate, is home to the Newhouse Center for Contemporary Art, the Noble Maritime Collection, Staten Island Children's Museum, the arts school Art Lab and the Staten Island Museum.

This is a forgotten Museum not too far from the Ferry. You won't believe your in a city at all. Beautiful, quiet grounds, Japanese Gardens, music, art and events in the warmer months of the year - they even have Theater events
