Celebrate Mother’s Day at Wave Hill
Give the moms in your life the gift of a memorable Mother’s Day visit to Wave Hill. Whether an intimate day just for you and your mom, or a fun outing with the whole family, Wave Hill’s blooming gardens and stunning vistas are the perfect setting for creating new memories.
With a special Family Art Project, Family Gallery Tour, May Day Basket Workshop and a trunk show in The Shop at Wave Hill, the weekend before Mother’s Day is the perfect time to prepare for―or get started early―celebrating moms. Then on Mother’s Day, treat her to a session of Hatha Yoga, a perfect strategy for reducing mom-related stress, especially when practiced in a quiet corner of our splendid gardens. Join an early morning birding walk with naturalist Gabriel Willow, or a relaxed saunter through the gardens on a guided afternoon walk. Come either weekend, or both, to share some wonderful time with Mom in what is one of New York City’s most spectacular outdoor landscapes.
