Getting Around

Staten Island is more than just a ferry boat ride. From a day at the beach, to a night at the theatre, Staten Island has it all. We're home to fascinating cultural attractions, a wild zoo, fun nightlife, and more than 170 parks. Delicious food and locally brewed beer are waiting to be discovered. No wonder people say, "If you haven't seen Staten Island, you haven't REALLY seen New York!"

170 Parks

Referred to as the Borough of Parks, Staten Island has miles of beaches along its eastern shore and incredible views of New York Harbor and Raritan Bay.
