Storm Art Center is a beautiful campus of enormous sculptures by various contemporary artists. It's located about 1.5 hours outside of New York City by train. The space is unreal and the greenery is endless. You can spend all day here, roll around in the endless scenery and even have a picnic. It's a great way to escape the city heat and enjoy the freshness of real nature. I recommend spending all day here as well as watching the sunset.
