Discover the World Beyond the Ferry! Just a short ride from New York City on the Staten Island Ferry across the harbor awaits a multitude of cultural attractions and activities. From a day at the beach, to an evening of fine dining and theatre performances, Staten Island has something for everyone - the Staten Island Zoo, numerous museums, performing arts centers, and over 170 parks and natural areas. As the southernmost county in New York State, Staten Island also plays host to many events throughout the year, with a film festival every spring, free concerts and fireworks all summer long, a County Fair at Historic Richmond Town every September and so much more.
