Storm King Art Center - Visitor Entrance

The grounds at Storm King are beautiful. The park & rest rooms are well maintained. The art work is amazing. I would like to visit again during the fall to see the fall foliage. I can only imagine how beautiful my visit with be during the fall. I would post pictures. But I am not sure if I am allow to do so.

An amazing outdoor museum. The scale and setting of the grounds and the artwork make this a must see. Wear comfortable, weather appropriate clothes and footwear as you will be walking for 2-3 hours to see the entire museum and your shoes will be dusty by the end. All worth it for these amazing pieces of art. If this is your first time there do not be overwhelmed. The paths all circle back so you can't get lost and however you start and finish your walk, you will enjoy the experience. Go with your gut and follow what draws you in.

I can't lie, I was underprepared for my visit there were a lot more hills than I was expecting, but they do have a tram (I still opted to walk lol) I didn't visit all of the sculptures, but I'll definitely be back!

Since they cancelled the tour tram, Storm King is no longer a must see for our visiting friends and family. The tour tram was a convenient and accessible way for visitors to explore the vast grounds of Storm King Art Center. Its discontinuation has made it challenging for people to navigate the 500-acre property, especially for those with mobility issues or limited time. The tram provided a comprehensive overview of the sculpture garden, allowing visitors to enjoy the diverse art installations without exhausting themselves. Its absence will have a significantly negative impact on the overall visitor experience. Unfortunately, not anymore! (See my updated review below)

Storm King is a beautifully manicured outdoor art center with amazing giant sculptures scattered across the premises. The overall space is huge and 99% outdoors. So make sure to wear comfortable walking shoes/sneakers. You can theoretically explore the entire place by foot, but it will most likely take you most of the day. I only got through about half the park and it took about 3 hours. There is a free shuttle that goes around the park in a loop, and bike rentals are available on the weekends. Pro tip: many local libraries have annual passes to various museums that you can borrow. Our local library had 4 annual passes to Storm King. So we were able to borrow them and go to Storm King for free.

This is probably the best sculpture park in the USA. Granted its vast size gives it advantages. The tram that traverses the park enables you to cover it easily within a day, and the panoramic views of the Hudson Valley are as good as you'll get anywhere within the greater NYC metro. All of which makes for a more kid-friendly experience. There is such a variety of displays that everyone will find something to their liking, but Storm King does emphasize the edgy and innovative. I am personally partial to the wind and kinetic sculptures such as those of George Cutts. They are especially interesting to observe while riding the tram; the combination of the sculpture's movement and the tram's is fascinating.

This has been on my list of things to do and I made a special point of coming to Hudson Valley NY to visit Storm King. Make sure to visit the website before you go. There was a 3-day mid week closure due to construction, but thank goodness we are in the area for 1 week and could make allowances. Tickets can be bought on-line (or at the door). Tickets are timed, but they did not seem too strict since we came in 30 minutes before our time. This is a lovely place to spend a few hours (we stayed 3.5). Storm King = Art + hiking + Nature. You will be rewarded with amazing views. You must like walking, as you will be walking for hours. Luckily, you will find shade under a tree, benches scattered about, and may even opt to take the tram for a 30-minute ride. The tram makes 5 different stops throughout the park. Bike rentals was closed. I still like Garden of Sculpture in NJ better, but I'm so glad I got to experience this.

This is a beautiful park with plenty to do! Some sculptures tower over you and make you feel tiny while others you can get up close and really study the ins and outs of all the welds. It took me about 3 hours to see walk through 95% of the park, and according to my fitness watch, it was about 5 miles of walking. Saw tons of great serene picnic spots too. Beautiful expansive meadows are everywhere and surround the sculptures. All with the amazing backdrop of the Catskills

My friend recommended this stop, even though I don't have a huge interest of viewing sculptures, it was worth going anyway. When entering, your ticket will be given to someone in the booth with a brochure, including a map, which you'll need, and will be directed on where to park. There are plenty of parking space, but it could be crowded. The property is fairly large, with many art works to explore along the walk, which anyone can't beat. With all the exploring, there are decent views along the way, making the experience even more memorable. Most of it seen looking west, and also south. Coming on a clear day will give just that. There is a tram loop provided that travels along the park, transporting from one stop to another to save some walking, which there are four stops, running every half hour. Also, there is a tram tour that goes around the park covering 30 minutes of the history of Storm King, which was fascinating leaving at 12:15, 2:15, and 4:30. Make sure to bring plenty of fluids, because there is a lot of walking. I can't emphasize how tired I was after exploring for about 3 hours. It was a great experience, but it's not a place I would come back often.

This is a really beautiful place with tons of interesting metal art pieces. Many of the pieces are abstract and a bit hard to understand the meaning but some like the large stepping foot, rings, and swings were objectively fun to take photos with. The food is definitely overpriced due to the limited supply. Hot dogs were $6 and soups $10 which are not good deals. Some of the group I came with brought those but we brought our own snacks, drinks, and purchased food in advance at McDonald's near the port authority building. They had really nice picnic spots to have meals and chill at. A lot of great photo opportunities with the nature scenery and some of the sculptures. There were also a couple good viewpoints and an indoor museum. Overall, this was a really fun spot for the fall foliage with tons of space and good nature.

Storm King is an excellent way to enjoy the outdoors and world class Modern art. Some of the art work is accessible via paved walkways, whereas others require traversing grass to gain close access. My favorite time to visit is in Autumn when the multitude of trees change colors. Although it's possible to rush through to get through the whole park in one day, my suggestion is that you make multiple visits so that you can spend time savoring your favorite pieces. There is also a rotating indoor exhibit.

I'd rate it 5 stars, but the bathroom amenities are kind of a disaster, and the food options are not great here. Too many portapotties. Remember to bring food if you want variety or not to get ripped off. There's a restaurant and a food truck. Hotdogs are about $6 and they have no special condiments. The 7/11 hotdog is probably better. The best deal at the restaurant is actually the salad. Lots of lettuce and some carrots for $8. It's kind of confusing to even get here if you buy the bus bundle. Remember to pick up the tickets at the port authority bus stop before getting there. Once you're here, it's pretty cool. Lots of very abstract art installations and possible photo ops for dating profiles. If you're super lazy, they have a tram and also bike rentals.

500 acres of incredible space for the most amazing art experience. 1) We took the hop-on-hop-off tram which was great - or you can also bike around. 2) There's also a different tram that has a wonderful narration on board explaining all the various art pieces. At different times 11.15 am, 2.15 pm, 3 pm & 4 pm. 3) We loved the walking tour (at 1 pm) which focuses on the art pieces at the museum/visitor center on top of the hill. A must experience!!

Living close to Grounds for Sculpture in central New Jersey, I have been wanting to visit Storm King for five years. I finally made it! It's 500 acres compared to 42! Thank goodness there is a tram that will take you around the grounds. You can hop off and hop on. Don't miss the museum. There is a concentration of sculptures there & an elevator to take up to the hill! We had lunch at the outdoor cafe. Don't get the charcutier! It was $18 and not worth it at all! It was small & contents were stale. The pesto mozzarella, tomato sandwich was good. They are working on the landscaping and new tram stop, that will add a great touch. I'm so glad I got there! The weather was perfect!

Poor Operations Planning = Not a Good Experience My wife and I visited on July 5th while on a long weekend Hudson Valley excursion. When we arrived, we saw it was a First Friday admission-free day. It was a nice surprise. Unfortunately, it was an extremely hot and humid day. My wife had to use one of the porta potties lined up outside the entrance. She came out saying there was no toilet paper in several she tried. There was also no hand sanitizer. There is a tram that picks up every half hour at designated areas about the grounds. It became evident that Storm King operations folks did not consider the larger than typical numbers that would be attending. Seriously, it's a free Friday over the 4th of July weekend and there wasn't a thought about how to handle the swelling attendance? Storm King operations team needs to run better staff meetings. Large numbers of people in numbers between 12 - 15 swarmed about the tram stops with the hope of getting a ride in the scorching heat. At best, 1 - 3 seats would be open with each stop. That meant that people had to wait another half hour and sometimes more for the next tram. Many of them waiting were older people or very young children not capable of walking great distances. We got two seats at the first stop and were subjected to the driver barking at people not to change seats. As this driver made stops, he would snap "we are stopping for 17 seconds, don't change seats." Not very welcoming. It was also shocking that the museum housing the Arlene Shecht exhibition and gift shop had no air conditioning. What design visionary thought of that? I wonder if it is heated in winter. A brief respite in an air-conditioned room and reliable tram service would have made a difference in our visit. Instead, we stayed short of an hour feeling it not worth the physical exertion. A simple bit of extra planning would have likely made this an enjoyable visit and fuel the desire for future visits. The planning wasn't there and neither was a good visitor experience.

Very beautiful place to enjoy outdoor art sculptures and spend time outdoors. We got lucky and came on a non rainy Saturday, and the weather was perfect. We took a bus from Port Authority, and it took an hour and a half to get there. We brought food with us, but they did have a cafe where you can purchase sandwiches and other lunch items. There are picnic tables, or you can just sit on the grass to eat. I really enjoyed climbing on the grassy hills and seeing all of the different artwork. Very unique place, and I would definitely recommend checking this out.

Easy to get to from manhattan-one hour flat. Definitely not a cheap day. Entrance for two($46), food at the cafe ($60) and renting the bikes ($60). With that said, takes a lot to maintain such a huge landscape abs artwork. I'm not a modern art kind-of-person, but my wife is. If you are like me, make sure to have someone with you that can explain and interpret the art. Worth a day trip, but I would bring your own picnic basket as the frowns are beautiful..

Beautifully manicured grounds with massive modern steel sculptures scattered every few acres, come walk the hilly paths and smooth roads, you can pass a very pleasant couple hours making a grand loop. My favorite was the waves of grassy hills designed by Maya Lin in the southern corner, super low key yet amazing, don't miss. The tiny indoor museum has only a couple rooms for special exhibits. Bring food, water and sunscreen but not the family dog. You might even bring a bottle of vino, picnicking with alcohol seems to be permitted at Storm King, altho we didn't see any picnickers at all midday. Unfortunately you cannot bring your own bike, if you insist on riding you have pay their expen$ive rental, but I think spinning thru these fields is a lousy way to view the art. If you have junior art critics, know that most sculptures are off limits (definitely no climbing), and there's no playground or rock scramble to distract the kids. If you have people who cannot walk, they can ride the tram at no extra charge and see a lot. You can push a wheelchair along the roads, just be sure you can get out of the tram's way! Compared with the Grounds for Sculpture near Trenton, this is larger yet has fewer works on display. I don't know what the price should be, about $23 per person is a lot, still we amused ourselves for almost three hours.

Never heard of this place before but honestly should be on everyone's upstate NY bucket list!! Storm King Art Center is a huge outdoor area that features various sculptures and artworks. Its a great place for dates and family outings! You can even picnic on the lawns. I think it would take a good 3-4 hours to really check everything out to plan accordingly. The sculptures are modern art steel structures. Be sure to catch the tram so that you can at least tour and see all the sculpture highlights. They are pretty on time and description/captions also available in written script. You can also rent bikes and bike around the area. They have a museum building which features different artists. Most recently was an architect whose blue prints and models were on display. I've heard its pretty accessible or at least they try to make it so. There is an elevator that goes up the Museum Hill part of the art center. I've seen other visitors use wheelchairs. Be sure to locate the bathrooms on the map because they aren't that readily close in proximity. Parking instructions were pretty clear. There were lots of staff around to direct you. Staff around the art center were also pretty friendly and helpful as in they would ask if you're in need of help etc.

It's truly a shame, I've lived in this area for 26+years and this is my first trip to Storm king however it won't be my last. There are some fantastic art structures erected out here on this 500 acre site. It's hard to pick out a favorite but one stand out was the Zang Huan three legged Buddha, you have to see this to appreciate it. Wear comfortable shoes to get an up close and personal experience with all of these amazing artists creations. Don't worry there is also a Tram which will take you around the entire site with a recording and description of all the structures. We walked an entire half of the site and then enjoyed the tram for the other side of the acreage. Again wear your most comfortable shoes because you will get those steps in. A fantastic place to have a picnic with all the lush greenery.

Fantastic art center. Great walking or bicycling path. Very well kept grounds. The exhibits that are showcased are incredible. The price is reasonable.

Despite many discussions in the past to take my in-laws to Storm King, it took us almost three years before we made it. I bought tickets in advance the moment they became available and it was an easy process to scan in at the gate. We arrived around 11:30am for our 11am time slot and there were quite a few cars in the South lot already. By the time we left, it was packed. I would definitely recommend coming early if you can if you want the sculptures to yourself. We spent about 2-3 hours exploring the grounds and checking out the sculptures. They give you a map upon entry and you can also ask for one in the gift shop. My in-laws loved it, being a fan of outdoor spaces and sculpture art. The grounds are beautiful and very well-maintained. It's honestly a very great place to spend the day when the weather is nice. They run walking tours a few times a day, so check out the website for the timing if you'd like a more guided experience.

I prefer Grounds for Sculpture over Storm King but it is still worth at least 1 visit. My husband and I came here for the first time 8 years ago and wanted to try visiting again. I felt the same way about it today as I did 8 years ago. It's a beautiful outdoor space, calm surroundings, great for a picnic and walking but with pretty 'meh' sculpture/art pieces. I admit that on a first visit, the grandeur of the pieces are really something to see but, to me, there's not enough of it for the space and little diversity. We were there for several hours and only made it halfway through the park before we got tired of walking. We made it to the nature center and contemplated going all the way to the back end but when we looked at the map, there just wasn't enough art pieces to make it worth it so we hung out where we were, relaxed, got some food, took photos and eventually headed back to the car. Admission: I assume the price tag is mainly for maintenance of this massive park but I can't help but compare it to GFS which is 18$ a person and also has lots of upkeep to do, is more pleasant visually and has a beautiful restaurant. This was 23$ and is only worth it if you spend several hours or the day, here. Make it a picnic day, bring some music, lay out, walk some...then I can see it making more sense. Parking: They tell you where to park so no real choice on lots. We wound up right near the portapotties and outdoor garden cafe. Was a good spot for us and easy to get in and out. Bathrooms: we used the portapotty which is as expected and we also used the bathroom at the nature center which was well kept and much better. Water fountain and also water bottle station available here. Artwork: Art is always subjective so I'm sure many people will love the artwork. I really like the scale of the pieces and love the bright red features but outside of that, I feel it's very redundant and not much diversity. Many things are steel or beams just put together to make a geometric shape. The colors are pretty dull or on the darker side. My husband and I actually started making a silly game out of it, guessing the name of the sculptures before we looked at the plaque. "Red steel" "circle on square" "iron" because much of the art isn't actually named anything worth anything. "Painted aluminum". Cooooll. I loved the mirror fence, the pond, the suspended piece in the main field, all the giant red pieces, and the pillars. We didn't make it all the way to the back this year mostly bc I recall the boat in the pond was legit a boat not even in the water. not worth seeing again. Walking: there is alottttt of walking. We went towards the cafe first because there seemed to be so many installations in one spot but this path is very rocky and uneven. Wear sneakers and take your time especially if you are older or have small children. The other areas outside of this were more maintained and beautifully kept. There are many hills and things but they do have a golf cart and trams that can pick you up. We didn't try it though so I don't know where you even go to get on it Outdoor garden cafe: I can't speak to much on all the food but we got the vegan hotdog and it was gross...not because it was vegan which I'm sure is your first guess haha but because everything was cold except the soda. That was warm. The bun, cold. Hot dog, ice cold. All condiments on the side and do it yourself. Maybe the other items would be better, not sure. Museum store: cute little items and nice place to take a break. It's kind of the mid way point of the park. Few side rooms where there are art installations. Loved the day and night drawings from the children. Bathrooms available here and also a small snack cart. Definite statement pieces & Dramatic scales. A lot of greenery and is peaceful. Bottom line: worth at least 1 visit. If you like the concept, also try Grounds for sculpture.

Just an hour and half outisde the city, I felt transported to another state. I was initially skeptical because modern art often goes above my head, but storm king helped me appreciate the sculptures. There is a true sense of harmony between the sculpture and nature that I was drawn to and it felt very special to just walk around to see the art and be in awe of the mountains and the foliage. I came during the fall and the colors were absolutely breathtaking! I was also so surprised to see how big the space was - 500 acres! Although from one point to another - it's a total of 25 minutes of walking, you can spend hours just taking in the art, the nature, and taking pictures. There are a few ways to get around: bike, walk, and shuttle. I walked and was very happy with that decision bc I feel like with bikes I would keep pausing (the terrain also wasn't super conducive to biking in my opinion) I recommend bringing food because the options in the park are limited Tip for NYC travelers without a car: I got here using the metro north from grand central. There is a combo ticket ($35) that combines a shuttle with the entry fee, which is very convenient!

Peaceful beautiful grounds with cool sculptures Informative tram tour takes about half hour. We had bought our bikes but they do not allow you to ride your own. You can rent them for $30 for 2 hours. For the summer months the first Friday is FREE ADMISSION!! Would like to come back in the fall .

This is an amazing museum with an indoor museum and acres of incredible huge sculptures by known artists such as Calder and other renowned artists that you will soon meet . The expansive land has been created with its own aesthetics. There is an area with strings of grassy mounds to suggest ocean waves. The setting is beautiful. The sculptures are massive and varied. There is a tram with narration that drives you in a loop around the park.I would do this first. There is a spot near the entrance to catch this. We did it at the end of our day and realized that we had missed and entire area. Prepare to walk a number of miles. There are nice paths and walking on the grass is fine too. Do not get overly adventuresome and hike through the woods. There is lots of poison ivy. We came from NYC. The bus from the Port Authority is very nice, you get the bus ticket with the entrance fee when you reserve on line. The bus stop is inside the park where you will pick it up for your return trip at a designated time. It is easy and cheaper than taking the train .

This place is absolutely stunning! You can spend all afternoon roaming this little paradise. Pros: + Beautiful, stunning fall foliage. I am sure it's great year round, but the foliage was simply breath taking when I went a few weeks ago. + Great for walking - make sure you to pack the comfiest set of shoes you can find! + Sculptures - there are three different areas that you can go to. One area has extremely large sculptures, while other areas are much much smaller. + Friendly, helpful staff Cons: - Difficult for people to navigate if they aren't able to walk independently. There are a few elevators to go up to higher stories as well as a tram. TBH, it is do-able, but plan on having extra time (4 or more hours) to be able to see thee rest of area.

Loved our trip to Storm King this past summer. It is such a breathtaking area, with so much to see. We went as a party of four adults and one four-year-old and even the little one was pleased with the day. We used the shuttle to get to the farther reaching spots since it was a fairly toasty day.

I've Storm King on my bucket list since season 1 of Master of None and it most definitely lived up to the hype. It's perfect for a day trip by yourself or with loved ones. There are multiple sculptures outdoors, which look particular stunning against the fall foliage backdrop. I'd recommend bringing some snacks or even your own meal to enjoy as the cafe line can get long on a weekend. Also wear your comfortable shoes! There will be plenty of walking to do. There are multiple sculptures that are part of the museum's permanent collection, but there are rotating exhibitions (I.e Wangechu Mutu) For those who are based in NYC, it is accessible by direct bus from Port Authority or if you want to spend some time in Beacon/go on the weekend, you can take the Metro-North train to catch the shuttle from the Beacon stop.

Date of visit-11/4/21 Storm King had been on my to-do list for awhile. It's best to go on a day when you have great weather. You'll be outside and walking a-lot! Be sure to wear comfortable shoes. Lots of wonderful and highly unique sculptures to view. This time of year, the sculptures had the beautiful fall foliage in the background. Please check out my pics. The park does have maps. However, the map boxes were not very visible. I think we covered only half the park in 2 hours. Next time, we'll take the shuttle. Initially, I wish the person in the admission booth had mentioned about the shuttle and given us maps. Souvenirs are sold in a dispensing machine. Park admission is $20.00 per person. We paid on arrival. However, you really need to purchase tickets advance online. Storm King is definitely a unique place to visit.

Made (more) famous by Aziz Ansari's Master of None this scenic outdoor museum is worth the drive. I would recommend coming during the fall when the colors change or if you're brave trekking out during a light snow because there's a stonewall that I imagine looks amazing with snow on it. I've seen pictures but not with my own eyes. I would block out an entire day for the trip as the museum is quite large with a lot of ground to cover on foot. It's a terrific romantic date or something to do with a bunch of friends. Words don't do it Justice so I'll just leave a bunch of pictures for you to see for yourself!

The perfect getaway for fall foliage and breathtaking sculpture pieces. The sprawling 500 acre autumn wonderland is great for escaping the mundane hustle and bustle of the city. Make sure to get tickets in advance on their website. Also a great activity in the world of social distancing. You can spend hours leisurely walking around the mountain taking in the clean air and stunning views. Hard to miss the giant art sculptures. These giant works of art have a long history at The Storm King museum which visitors can learn about using the audio tour. Our group meandered around the space for about 4 hours, but could have easily spent more time exploring. Went on a Sunday morning and from the looks of other reviews it might be a less crowded day. Overall it was a great time spent and encouraging folks thinking about going to go. Leaving with a continued appreciation for art and the outdoors.

It was early September, 2002 when I first an newspaper article about Storm King. I immediately consigned the article to my To Do file and now, 19+ years later, I have happily removed it though it now occupies a prominent place in my Re-Do File. We made the required advanced reservation and fortunately arrived on a beautiful crystal clear morning. Being super seniors we only spent a little over 2 hours walking around the 500 acre property though we barely scratched the surface because around every corner there seemed to be a piece or two of sculpture worthy of our undivided attention. If I were asked to make one suggestion for first time visitors it would be to take your time and view each piece of work from a different angle/perspective.

One of the Hudson Valley's preeminent art museums has sadly lost its appeal due to poor management and shortsightedness. Storm King Art Center has long been tops on our list for visiting relatives and friends. It is a spectacular 500 acres of prodigious art installations by some of the world's finest artists. It being impossible for visitors to cover more than just a few acres on foot, the museum has always offered a tram ride through the park, offering closeup views of many of the installations, and stopping along the way to allow the guest to listen to the accompanying informative narration of particular works. This tram ride was a delight and a must on each visit. This would be followed by a picnic lunch a visit to the giftshop and indoor galleries. Sadly, our most recent visit to the park with my 90-year-old mother and her two best friends, was calamitous. Knowing that the tram service offered both a short and extended routes, I confirmed with the driver that we were on the correct tram. The driver then proceeded to drive the tram at what felt like excessive speeds, making no stops along her route, and not bothering to heed the bumps and curves, despite our protestations. This was a jarring ride for me and my spouse, but for our three elderly guests, it was frightening. When the tram finally came to a stop, the driver incoherently explained that the tram tour had been discontinued and that she was only a transport from one area to another. She refused to immediately return us to the parking lot area, but instead offered a golf cart to come and pick us up. Fearing for the well-being of my guests, I opted for the golf cart. An equally bewildered employee arrived and drove the five of us on a precarious golf cart ride back to the tram boarding area. I asked to speak to the management, and when manager arrived, she was cocked and loaded and looking for a fight. She immediately sided with her driver, saying that I had yelled at her. She went on to explain, in her own raised and agitated voice, that the tram tours were discontinued, but offered no reasonable explanation as to why. So, needless to say, Storm King Art Center is no longer on our "must see" list for our guests and family. A trip to this museum can only accommodate those who want to view art from a great distance or those who are able to hike across this massive property. Therefore, I cannot recommend Storm King to anyone who truly wants to appreciate art. You can't appreciate art if you can't see it.

We went the free Friday of 4th of July weekend. Expect hot and lots of people. They were totally unprepared. To start, first thing in the morning the line of 6 potable toilets at the entrance-- not one had toilet paper and the hand sanitizer dispenser was empty. On one of the hottest days of the year, only one tram was running, so most of the time when it stopped it was full and you could not get on. Old people with canes had to walk in the heat or wait half an hour for another tram--that also had no seats. On a hot crowded day, run 2 trams! Plus tram driver was angry and rude to everyone. Museum house on the hill has no air conditioning, so there is no place to escape the heat for 10 minutes and recharge enough to walk a little more because you cannot get on the tram

Grab your best walking shoes because this place is huge! You could easily spend 4 hours just walking around the trail. There is shuttle bus stop in 6 places but to better appreciate the sculptures one should do the dirty work and walk don't you think? Most of the sculptures are mega pieces than you can see from far. We thought it felt scattered without any thoughts put into why this piece located in this spot. There is one sculpture placed hidden under tree shade, down below away from main trail. We felt sorry and wonder if anyone ever visit it. There is museum where they house current exhibiton but too bad there is no AC inside the building. All in all it is a great place to burn some calories while admiring some art installation. Free admission every first Friday.

Huge grounds that are great to spend hours to walk around and explore and to look at the art, especially when the weather is nice. The area is roughly 1.5 miles by 1 mile so be prepared for a lot of walking. The maps aren't very clear so need some patience to just wander (it would be helpful if they had some more markers around the grounds to help people determine where they exactly are). Terrific place to spend a day outdoors (though admittedly perhaps not ideal for uninterested kids/teenagers who will get tired of walking around)

I'm not a fan. MOst of this comes front the obscene costs for entry. The area is extremely exposed and gets very hot during the summer. There are a few areas I could see with airconditioning and that is gift shop at the museum and also the bathrooms behind the museum. The pros include a great place to bring your kids to run around and to have a nice picnic. It is a large area to explore! Cons: Parking is a bit of a chore. you can't really choose the lot you go to as you will be directed. You also can't choose the specific spot even if there are plenty of spaces. The trams did not run frequently enough and many people were left stuck out in the exposed space. You'd think they could afford to plant some trees or put up an awning at those areas? The restroom areas are not well kept and very smelly. The art is...meh. I guess one has to really appreciate art to go there. It's fine, nothing spectacular or anything that spoke to me. You kind of have to be into sculptures and abstract figurines to appreciate it If you do have a large group, try to pile as many people as you can into one car as the price drops per person. I would come back but only in the fall or a warm winter day.

Spent one of the best days of my life here, hiking the trails with family and viewing the installations. The staff is very helpful and there are bikes, and trans if you don't want to walk. The landscape is as much an art feature as the sculptures. If you're a botanist you'll love the mix of vegetation species. Plenty of area to reflect, slow down and breathe. A day here, even a two hour window will clear the mind, and find you taking mindful breaths...go here and prepared to celebrate.

A beautiful area with lots to see and explore! Worrh spending a day and picnicking on the grounds. Bring your camera and have fun!

Best in world. Outdoor sculpture rejuvenates your mind, body and spirit. Membership allows unlimited visits

Storm King is the perfect escape from the city, and a great way to spend a leisurely day outdoors. The sculptures are visually engaging, and interesting in different ways - whether it's the sheer size or the meanings behind the art, they're a lot of fun to see. The art is spread across a beautiful, sprawling campus that, in my opinion, is actually the main draw for Storm King. The sculptures are nice, but the grounds are truly breathtaking. My photos are from September 2020, but I already can't wait to go back in the spring and summer seasons. Especially during these times of social distancing, Storm King is well worth the trip and the cost of admission! If you're like me, one trip won't be enough.

This is by far on of our favorite places to enjoy nature, fresh air, picnics, long walks and the change in seasons. The beauty of the nature and the art is seamless and peaceful.

Wonderful place!!! I had no idea that this was in my backyard! This will be on my yearly list for sure!!!

The bike rental is AWFUL. We waited in line for 20 minutes in the hot sun waiting for a bike. The woman in charged shooed us away when we were about to rent our bike because it was 4 minutes past 3pm and they no longer would let us rent, despite the fact that there are no signs about the rentals ending at 3. She then allowed their friends to rent the remaining two bikes after us when we had walked away and they closed. We had to walk a mile back. The woman in charge of rentals is an a**. Do NOT waste your time with the bikes. The rest of the exhibit is nice and the sculptures are in front of a great view.

Amazing artwork and beautiful park. Great place to spend the day and enjoy nature. Every time you walk over a hill or into a valley, a new giant sculpture suddenly appears! Fascinating!

A really terrific art center, with miles and miles of trails and sculptures dotting the ground. There's a bicycle rental place as well, and an outdoor café with drinks and some food items.

so disrespectful and condescending at the check in booth. I cannot believe the level of rudeness

No updates here! Absolutely love this sculpture garden when it's sunny and peak fall, it's so beautiful and well worth the ticket price. Always new exhibits to see. Will be back next year!

There are astonishingly magnificent artworks around the park and it's also a great place for family weekend getaway. Storm King Art Center is really close to Woodbury Premium Outlet so it's perfect to stop by on the way.
