Trips to [Wave Hill](https://www.wavehill.org) and the New York Botanical Garden (also in the Bronx) would provide a nice break from city noise and traffic.

Also, the Staten Island Zoo has been famed for its [reptile collection](https://www.cplusga.com/works/staten-island-zoo-reptile-wing/).

“The visitor is led along an educational experience, through graphics on one side, and live venomous snakes on the other, winding them through the body of a snake and its relationship to humans and the environment.”
