Guidebook for Staten Island
Parks & Nature
The Chinese Scholars Garden is beautiful ($5 entrance fee). There is large collection of Greek Revival buildings, gardens and museums to look at. As well, Staten Island Children's Museum is located on campus. We love the this place that was built over a hundred years ago for "aged and decrepit" sailors has been restored and reused as a beloved public park and cultural space.
