Wave Hill Events Feb 29 – March 7

 

Save the Date: April 8
Wave Hill will be hosting a free Solar Eclipse Viewing Party. Experience this amazing celestial event from our open lawns with spectacular views of the Hudson River and open sky above. Pot up some seeds and make a festive eclipse party hat or celestial floral headband at our activity stations and enjoy live music and story time with the Riverdale Library. There's solar-spirited fun for all at this community event! 

Family Art Project: Felted River  
Free with admission to the grounds  
Registration not required. 

We'll let our creativity flow and use felt to create underwater scenes inspired by the Hudson River. With felt at our fingertips, we’ll craft woolly art pieces that reflect the river's diverse plant and animal life.  

At 11:30AM, families can enjoy a storytime program in the Gund Theater; all ages welcome. 

Garden and Conservatory Highlights Walk 
Free with admission to the grounds 
Registration not required.    

Join a knowledgeable Wave Hill Garden Guide for a leisurely stroll in the gardens. Topics vary by season and the expertise of the Guide--come back for an encore; each walk varies with the Guide leading it. This walk lasts a half-hour to 45 minutes. Public Garden Walks are most appropriate for adults or young adults. 

Intro to Birding (Virtual)    
This virtual Zoom event is free    

Anyone can be a birder! Log on, and Ryan Mandelbaum from the Feminist Bird Club will help get you birding. Find out how to prepare for your outings with some basic equipment, then learn tips and tricks to observe and identify common birds in your local park, garden or neighborhood. Afterwards, connect with other birders at a free in-person birding event at Wave Hill (walk dates to be shared during the program). A link to the Zoom meeting will be provided upon registration and a reminder will be sent the day before.    

This is a virtual event in a meeting style on the Zoom platform. Participants do not need to have video or microphone enabled. A recording with captions will be available shortly afterwards.  

HOURS: 10AM–4:30PM, Tuesday–Sunday 
Shuttle Service suspended until Spring
