Suffolk County Vanderbilt Museum

Specialty Museum · Centerport, New York

⚠ A SPANISH REVIVAL MANSION, A NATURAL HISTORY COLLECTION AND A PLANETARIUM ON ONE ESTATE at Centerport — the 43-acre Long Island home of WILLIAM K. VANDERBILT II, who circumnavigated the globe collecting specimens and ⚠ LEFT THE WHOLE THING TO SUFFOLK COUNTY AS A MUSEUM. ⚠ IT IS NOT THE VANDERBILT MANSION AT HYDE PARK, WHICH IS A DIFFERENT PLACE 100 MILES AWAY.

180 Little Neck Road, Centerport, New York, 11721, United States

⚠⚠ THIS IS NOT THE VANDERBILT MANSION AT HYDE PARK — that is a National Historic Site in the Hudson Valley, a hundred miles away, and also in this database. People book the wrong one constantly; check the address. ⚠ THREE SEPARATE CHARGES ON ONE SITE: general admission, the mansion tour and the planetarium — ASK WHETHER A COMBINATION TICKET EXISTS. ⚠ EAGLE'S NEST IS BY TIMED GUIDED TOUR ONLY, IS NOT INCLUDED IN GENERAL ADMISSION, AND SELLS OUT ON BUSY DAYS — book or arrive early, because people pay to get in and then find they cannot see the house. ⚠ THE PLANETARIUM RUNS ITS OWN SHOW SCHEDULE; check it separately. ⚠ SEASONAL EVENING ASTRONOMY AND TELESCOPE PROGRAMMES are the site's best-kept secret. Free parking. ⚠ HOURS AND PRICES NOT VERIFIED.
