 More than 50,000 vis­i­tors came out to Gov­er­nors Island over the past two week­ends. If you weren’t one of them, or if you could­n’t get enough of the Island and want to come back again, there are three more week­ends for vis­i­tors to expe­ri­ence all that is hap­pen­ing here. We are thrilled that more than 245,000 vis­i­tors have been to the Island so far this sum­mer, and we hope many more will come to expe­ri­ence the ARCHE­O­LOG­I­CAL DIG, miles of car-free bik­ing, Fig­men­t’s City of Dreams minia­ture golf course, and many oth­er spe­cial pro­grams that are tak­ing place over the next sev­er­al week­ends. Gov­er­nors Island is open every Fri­day ‑Sun­day through Octo­ber 11. So come out to the Island to enjoy the first love­ly weeks of fall in this incred­i­ble place before you have to wait to May to expe­ri­ence it again.
