Itinerary: Subject to change due to local conditions, unforeseen events, or more interesting as yet unplanned awesome experiences that become available
Eagles Nest:
Welcome to Eagle’s Nest, the summer home of William K. Vanderbilt, initially built as a small English cottage that evolved into the sprawling 24 room Spanish Revival mansion that we’ll see today.
The rooms of the mansion’s living quarters are just as William and Rosamond left them, filled with priceless art, furnishings, and personal possessions. As you take an intimate look into the lives of this privileged family, you’ll take a step into an enchanting time capsule of a vanished era.
Exhibits:
The home was also a space in which to showcase the thousands of natural history and cultural specimens William had collected from his travels around the world.
From the museum rooms, it will be as if we circumnavigated the globe without leaving Long Island as we view discoveries from the Galapagos and Pacific Islands to the Atlantic and Caribbean.
Planetarium:
After an included café lunch, sit back and gaze into the night sky at the Reichert Planetarium where we’ll be lifted off Earth to travel the universe among the millions of stars, galaxies, black holes, and stellar secrets.
