Staten Island Museum

“Visiting from Texas and Jean at the front was so awesome, gave us some background on Staten Island and Snug Harbor! Was really patient and nice, gave us recommendations and was pleasant to talk with. Entrance is “pay what you want” with a suggested $8 for adults! Of course we paid to keep this preserved piece of history going. I am going to come back with my dad for sure loved my time there. Took about 40 min at this museum and then walked to the maritime museum and spent an hour there too. Park area was also beautiful even when covered in snow. 10/10 so glad we went”

“The Staten Island Museum is a small but charming spot that’s perfect for a quiet visit. It’s air-conditioned, which makes it extra nice on hot days, and they operate on a pay-what-you-wish system—so it’s very affordable. The exhibits are thoughtfully curated, and while it isn’t huge, that actually makes it easy to enjoy without feeling overwhelmed. Overall, it’s a cute little museum that’s definitely worth stopping by if you’re in the area.”

“I brought my nephews here they had a great time. Beautiful museum, small but excellent design and setup. This whole area is amazing so much history. I can't wait to til the spring really comes in, to walk around the grounds. I learned about the Black Angels never heard about them before my visit. Snug harbor is a Staten Island gem.”

“I love the lower level of the Museum, which tells the history of the Island. The first floor is more about the nature on the island, and the second floor displays archaeological items and panels about the hospital for TB. You don't need to buy tickets in advance, and the staff there were nice. One thing I didn't like about the museum was the music on the lower level, but other than that, it's a good place to check out. Taking pictures is allowed, but no flash and no videos.”
