The Socrates Sculpture Park is one of Queens’ best-kept (and free!) secrets. Located at the very tip of Long Island City, the park is open year round from 10am to sunset. In the spring and summer, the park offers tons of free events from open-air movies to yoga classes. The atmosphere is relaxing with a stunning view of Manhattan from across the East River. The sculptures in the park change relatively often, so there is always something new to see. Many of the sculptures embrace interaction so adults, children, and dogs alike can climb, jump, and run through out the exhibitions. A sense of quiet tranquility makes it a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of city life and it is an excellent place for a quick stroll during one of our warmer winter days.
