Croton Point Nature Center in Croton-on-Hudson sits inside the five-hundred-acre Croton Point Park along the Hudson River. Grandparents and grandchildren can step inside to see exhibits on local plants, wildlife, river specimens, and Native American history, alongside hands-on activities. Outside, families can wander along four miles of river shoreline, explore walking trails, and visit a meadow filled with birds and butterflies. During winter visits, you might even spot bald eagles. Maps, information, and restrooms are available in the building.
