Brooklyn is a wonderful destination, as well as a great take off point for other close-by activities and attractions. Beautiful, historic Prospect Park is home to summer concerts, the Brooklyn Museum, Botanical Gardens and Zoo. Festivals and street fairs abound. Take a world tour by visiting Brooklyn and Manhattan ethnic neighborhoods. Take a trip on the Staten Island Ferry. There is a Children's Museum in every borough. Coney Island and the Brooklyn Aquarium are close-by and you can make a day trip to one of Long Island's beautiful beaches. Shop locally in Park Slope or go to Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn Heights, or Cobble Hill. You can find anything you want in Manhattan. Art is everywhere! Visit museums, galleries, or find it on the streets. There's theater, dance, music. Go antiquing, or visit our wonderful flea markets. In the wintertime, see the tree and ice-skate in Rockefeller Center; in the summer walk through Central Park or take a paddle boat in Prospect Park.
