Admission is required to access Boscobel’s 68 acres of gardens and grounds. Tickets may be reserved in advance or at the door. Enjoy a stroll or picnic on our Great Lawn, with Boscobel’s unparalleled view of the Hudson River, Constitution Marsh, and the U.S. Military Academy at West Point

Also on our grounds, the Frances Stevens Reese Woodland Trail of Discovery offers hikers a tranquil mile through the forest, with river views. (Please wear sturdy shoes and bring bug spray.) The Apple Orchard, Formal Garden, and Herb Garden feature fruit trees and plants prized by New Yorkers then and now. And the Hudson River School Artists Garden, with sculptures by Greg Wyatt, honors 19th-century painters who celebrated this region.

Coming with kids? The Boscobel Activity Booklet—full of pictures, information, and activities—is simple to use, fun to follow, and can be picked up as you enter or downloaded HERE before your visit. The booklet will guide you into the gardens, walk you around the grounds, and lead you along the woodland trail, all the while encouraging you and your family to discover the wonders that make Boscobel your special place for history, design, and nature.

  • All guests must check in at the Visitor Center upon arrival to display or pick up their admissions pass.
  • Picnicking is welcome; guests must carry out everything that they carry in.
  • While we love them, pets are not permitted at Boscobel.

MEMBERSHIPS, LIBRARY PASS, ARTIST PASS

In addition to daily grounds tickets, guests may purchase a Trailblazer Membership, which grants admission to our property—including gallery exhibitions as scheduled—for 1-4 visitors every day Boscobel is open to the public.

Boscobel offers all local libraries the opportunity to join our Library Pass Program, which offers up to four guests access to the grounds and/or to a house tour. The Library Pass can not be honored during site-wide public programs such as our annual Applefest. Please visit our program calendar page or call 845-265-3638 to confirm availability.  In order to receive the Library Pass discount, guests must use the code provided by their local library and present the Library Pass upon arrival. Please check with your local library to inquire about its participation in the program. Library representatives can reach out to abjornson@boscobel.org to request a pass.  Should you have any questions, please feel free to reach us at 845-265-3638 or via our Contact page.

With a free Artist Pass, artists are welcome to engage in active art-making on Boscobel’s grounds on select dates each month. With the purchase of any level of Membership,  or regular Gardens and Grounds Admission ticket, artists are also welcome to make art outdoors at Boscobel during general public hours. Register Here.

MILITARY & VETERANS

Boscobel is proud to participate in the Blue Star Museums program, offering free admission year-round to active-duty military personnel and their families with valid ID.

In appreciation of their service, we also provide a 50% discount on admission for veterans with proper identification. We are honored to welcome and thank those who have served and continue to serve.
