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. 
The dead don't keep visiting hours, but we do! Join us after dark for a walk through Green-Wood's history, legends, and secrets. And before you depart, step inside the Catacombs, a space that is normally locked to the public.

Explore Green-Wood under the night sky, where the Cemetery transforms after dark. Discover the stories of remarkable New Yorkers who shaped history and culture and end the evening with rare access to the Catacombs, an underground space few ever see. 
After you’ve devoured some turkey and stuffed yourself with pumpkin pie, escape from the house—especially if you need a break from your guests—and enjoy a walking tour of Green-Wood. Or if the whole family is still getting along, bring everyone! |
