For over fifty years this Art Center has been a welcoming guest from all over the globe. I’ve been to Storm King in the past and in the wake of social distancing norms, this was a must do weekend activity. There are over 100 sculpture installations throughout the property, but the Center’s dramatic landscape of farmed fields, woodlands, lawns, native grasses, wetlands, and water are also a sit to behold. The landscaping is extremely thoughtful and I couldn’t help but be impressed by invitations to enter areas indicated solely by strategic paths, low cut grass or gravel paths, like breadcrumbs. There is something for everyone. If you choose to look at the sculpture from a far you will surely cover more ground, but you can easily walk 20K steps, either way there are fantastic photo opportunities at every turn. There are also designated picnic areas near each parking lot, so you can take a break and enjoy lunch overlooking the scenery.
Currently, tickets are based on timed entry and in turn there wasn’t clustering of people in the parking lots or the lunch areas. This park is opened rain or shine and throughout the fall. I highly recommend reserving your tickets as soon as possible. This is truly a majestic place that beautifully encapsulates the union of art and nature.
