A ten minutes free ride from Manhattan or Brooklyn will lead you to the secret Governors Island. Out of all the New York attractions, this island has remained under the scanning system of the tourists and the New Yorkers. Until 1996, Governors Island was occupied as the military fort. It is a dense and flourishing land full of art, good food, habitation, roads with practically no traffic prepared for bike riding and viciously dazzling scenarios of the Statue of Liberty, Brooklyn and the Manhattan Skyline.
New York attractions are a source of enjoyment and fun to the tourists. Governors Island was recently vacated and renovated as a playground for artists, mini-golfers and children. In the previous year, it became host to a concert site on the N.Y. Water Taxi Beach. It is an adventure to get to and from Governors Island. Everyone loves to wonder on the open sea, even for a short time.
This island is open, wide, and available via ferry through October 11; on Friday through Sunday from the Battery Maritime Building in Manhattan; from Brooklyn via the NY Water Taxi on Fridays; and a free ferryboat on Saturdays and Sundays. If you are interested to see everything around the island then you should go for bike riding. The land is flat and automobiles are strictly forbidden on the island. With quite less herding required for the kids it could be an easy ride.
The island has a free mini-golf, which is renewed every year. There are parks, crafts and sculpture parks for children. Few of the palaces are opened to visitors with paintings and sculptures on exposure. There are hills, perfect for rocking down. There are old munitions and children cannot refuse climbing on top of it. You need to park your vehicles in the mansion veranda for a picnic, and enjoy watching the water and the landscapes.
The restrooms on Governors Island are of the most convenient form, where you can easily find a few proper and well-furnished restrooms. There is no potable water available on the island and you need to take water in bottles. If you visit the island with complete preparation then you can explore the deserted buildings, a prison, grassy knolls and a mansion. On Fridays, you can enjoy a free bike riding. Since on every Friday there is a Free Bike Fridays, in which you can explore more than 5 miles of car-free biking.
