Wave Hill Weekly Events (Oct 23 – Oct 30) | Discover Creatures of the Night at Wave Hil

 

The sun dips below the palisades a little earlier each day, bathing in the gardens in a golden light. Soon enough gardens come to life in a slightly different way. In the perfect moments of twilight, nocturnal critters begin their night;wide-eyed owls soar across the dark sky, and crickets sing their tunes, while moonlight dances across the treetops. Get a glimpse into this magical world at Wave Hill as these creatures of the night work through their routines and explore the gardens.
