Things To Do
Locust Grove Estate
Locust Grove isn't just our venue - it's also an awesome place to spend the day! From the website: "Set on a hill overlooking the scenic Hudson River in Poughkeepsie, New York the not-for-profit Locust Grove Estate includes a historic Italianate mansion open for tours, 200 acres of landscaped grounds with five miles of hiking trails, and a visitor welcome center with art galleries, museum shop, and classrooms for educational programs."
Walkway Over the Hudson State Historic Park
This former railroad bridge is now a pedestrian walkway with gorgeous views of the river! Start at the parking lot on Parker Avenue for a 3 mile there-and-back walk, or keep it short by using the elevator at Upper Landing Park.
Mid-Hudson Children's Museum
For guests with little ones, explore the interactive learning exhibits at the Mid Hudson Children's Museum!
Storm King Art Center
If you're up for a day trip, Storm King Art Center is a 45 minute drive from the hotel. Enjoy the beauty of the Hudson Highlands and explore giant sculptures in this amazing art park!
