Are you looking for an escape from the hustle and bustle? Take a visit to our gardens and conservatory where you’ll be able to smell the sweet perfumes of our flowers and find yourself in an oasis in the city. The gardens are a place where your imagination can run wild as you take in the views of the vast Hudson River, vivid artwork from our gallery spaces, or the sweet songs of the winter birds around us. Wave Hill is your winter haven for art, inspiration, and self-nurturing!
Nature:
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.
The Hudson River Valley hosts an impressive diversity of bird species, even during the winter months. Explore Wave Hill’s tranquil gardens and woodlands to observe birds in their winter habitat.

Family Art Project: Winter Silhouettes
Deep in the winter, the light outside becomes dimmer. To brighten things up, we’ll use lamps to create playful shadows of wintertime animals. By drawing their silhouettes, we will discover shapes and unique features that allow us to identify creatures from afar.
Kids on The Move! Shapes and Shadows of Winter
Enjoy the quiet beauty of the winter garden on an afternoon adventure with guest educator Corinne Flax. Bundle up for a brisk walk to observe the shady patterns that stretch across Wave Hill’s landscape as the sun travels low in the sky, then warm up indoors with a movement activity focused on forms, shapes and shadows. Explore a variety of yoga-based poses and games while using flashlights to create your own winter shadows! Recommended for ages four to eight.
