  • Dinosaurs in Action: Green-Wood’s Birds of Prey 

    Green-Wood is one of the best places in New York City to spot birds of prey—and not just soaring overhead! Here, you can witness raptors going about their daily lives: hunting and feeding, courting and nesting, learning to fly (a wobbly process!), and simply hanging out.

  • Secrets in Stone

    Secrets in Stone

    The Victorians were masters of secrets, and they took plenty of them to the grave! Across Green-Wood, every carved flower, weathered angel, and mysterious emblem tells a story. On this crowd- favorite walking tour, you’ll become a detective of the dead, decoding an elaborate language of symbols preserved in stone and shedding light on tales etched into eternity.
