Upcoming Wave Hill Events Nov 5-12

 

Fall foliage at Wave Hill is beginning to pop! See it for yourself on a walk through the gardens. And don't miss out on wildlife this season while you're here: Look out for migrant birds on a Fall Birding Walk and at a live bird demonstration with master falconer Brian Bradley.

You can reserve your tickets to visit here--advance registration is required.


Saturday, Sunday, November 7, 8, 10AM–1PM
Where does wilderness live? What lives wild and free in you? Take a close look at the wilderness that lives in and among us—even in the most urban of landscapes. Learn assemblage techniques to create puppets from upcycled and natural materials. Then, take your raccoon, raptor and beetle puppets into an open-air theater to share how they keep their wonderful wild ways while living in the city. Shine only.

Saturday, November 7, 1–2PM
Enjoy colorful foliage and late-blooming flowers at their seasonal peak, set against the scenic backdrop of the Hudson River and Palisades. Registration required, online or by calling 718.549.3200 x251. Space is limited. If you have any questions about this program or have registration questions, please contact us at 718.549.3200 x251 or information@wavehill.org.

Fall Birding (Onsite)
Sunday, November 8, 9:30–11AM
Birding returns to Wave Hill, just in time to catch the fall migrants and welcome back the winter birds.

Birders of all levels welcome. Ages 10 and older welcome with an adult. Severe weather cancels. NYC Audubon members enjoy two-for-one admission to the grounds.

Back by popular demand, master falconer Brian Bradley and his beautiful and beloved raptors are here for a live bird presentation! Watch trained birds of prey sharpen their hunting skills during an exciting outdoor flight demonstration. Hear about the ancient sport of falconry and see live raptors from around the world. Ages eight and older welcome with an adult. Registration required, online or by calling 718.549.3200 x251. Space is extremely limited. Rain location is Armor Hall.

A 28-acre public garden and cultural center overlooking the Hudson River  and Palisades, Wave Hill’s mission is to celebrate the artistry and legacy of its gardens and landscape, to preserve its magnificent views, and to explore human connections to the natural world through programs in horticulture, education and the arts.

HOURS: Special restricted hours as New York City recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic: 10AM–5:30PM, Wednesdays–Sunday.
