The Hudson River Museum, is a hidden gem in Yonkers. We were lucky enough to find it while looking for something to do for several hours between appointments in Westchester.
Located on the banks of the Hudson River in Yonkers, the view of the river and Palisades on the Jersey side are reason enough to visit.
After taking in the view, you can use the concrete ramp or the eight steps to reach the double door entrance.
Once inside we found a wonderful venue with much to see. Most of the exhibits in the six galleries are on the main floor. For the ones on the lower level you can use the elevator to get there. The exhibits are ever changing, with an interesting mix of paintings, sculptures and photos. There is a very interesting 24 room antique doll house on the lower level as well as a walk in bookstore, which is sure to intrigue the kids. I have to say I found both of these exhibits quite interesting. A planetarium is located in the Museum. It was not open so we could not take in a show there. We were told that it is accessible. The entire museum is bright and airy. One gallery, with full glass windows, invites you to stop and view the river scene outside. There are benches in each of the galleries, which is much appreciated.
There is an outdoor area between buildings, plus tables and chairs inside that have a view of this area.
The gift shop is filled with some interesting items.
Multi-stall restrooms have an accessible stall and accessible sinks, as well as a baby-changing station.
Although the Museum is not large, it is definitely an interesting place to visit.
As always, we at Destination Accessible, advise you to visit a venue’s website, www.hrm.org, when planning a visit, to “know before you go.”
