There’s only a few authentic classical outdoor Chinese gardens built in the United States, and one of them is in Staten Island! 🍃 The Chinese Scholar’s Garden is within Snug Harbor Cultural Center and is inspired by Ming Dynasty gardens. Explore a bamboo forest path, eight pavilions, waterfalls, a Koi pond, Chinese calligraphy, and more. It is so peaceful and relaxing here, and pretty quiet most days. Admission: • $5 for adults • $4 for students + seniors • Free for children 5 and under • Free for Staten Island residents on the first Friday of each month snugharborccbg’s main outdoor grounds and gardens are free and open to the public. How to get there: Take the Staten Island Ferry (free) and then the S40 bus will take you from St. George Ferry Terminal straight to Snug Harbor in about 20 minutes.
