Wave Hill Events May 11-May 18: Mother's Day!

 

Join us this weekend for a wonderful Mother's Day at Wave Hill, the perfect setting for celebrating Moms. Bring the whole family along for a guided stroll, spring birding and family art-making. Then treat her to a FREE session of yoga in the garden—the second session at 11AM is perfect for young yogis! 


Enjoy the very rare opportunity to picnic on the Wave Hill House Lawn or in Armor Hall and on the Kate French Terrace—limited space there is available on a first-come basis. If you dine outdoors, you may bring your own blanket and outdoor folding chairs, with your own picnic. Or you may purchase a picnic from exclusive Wave Hill caterer Great Performances—reservations are required by end-of-day Saturday, May 6. Mother’s Day is a premium-admission day, with a $2 surcharge per visitor; there is no admission charge for children under five. Visit our website for more info.
