Located just an hour north of the city, in the lower Hudson Valley, Storm King is a magical sculpture park set amidst green pastures, rolling hills, and tranquil lakes. Home to over a hundred works by some of the foremost sculptures of our time, Storm King is the perfect place to picnic on a sunny spring, summer or fall day. Bring a bottle of wine and spend the day lolling on sculpture and skipping through meadows.
