Our first free community event of the year is here – Thur, March 21! The frogs and all their friends are back from hibernation and we’re celebrating! This family-friendly event is free to all. Visiting educators from Tenafly Nature Center will be on site to answer all your questions. Our gardens will stay open late so you can keep an ear out for their nighttime songs. Or just come enjoy the gardens at sunset and festive food and drinks from our café.
And don’t miss our last Armor Hall Concert of the season! A Cubadisco and Juno award winner and Latin Grammy nominee, Telmary will perform a special "unplugged" program for her Wave Hill debut. Ages 8 & up. Save on advance tickets.
Spring is the time when frogs and other amphibians emerge from winter hibernation, and we can’t wait! Help us celebrate their return with an evening of nature discovery and play. Listen to a chorus of spring peepers and their kin as you get up close and personal with live frogs, toads and salamanders with a visiting educator from Tenafly Nature Center. Craft frog and toad-inspired art and practice your jumping skills or get cozy in our book nook. Don’t miss this evening of froggy family fun!
Let’s make music! A breeze through the trees, the hoot of an owl, rain falling on a pond, the natural world is full of beautiful sounds. We’ll make and decorate our very own instruments that mimic the tunes and tones in nature.
Anyone can be a birder! Ryan Mandelbaum from the Feminist Bird Club is here to guide you through your first birding session. Learn tips and tricks to observe and identify common birds in your local park, garden or neighborhood using visual and auditory cues as well as helpful birding apps such as eBird and Merlin. Find out how to prepare for your outings and practice using binoculars (bring your own or borrow ours). Afterwards, venture outside to put your new skills to use while observing birds in Wave Hill's gardens and at our bird feeding station. You'll be birding in no time!
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.
