Staten Island Ferry

We are thinking of taking our kids on the staten island ferry tomorrow. Does anyone here know what to do once you get off it in Staten Island? Is there a park in walking distance or something interesting to do with kids?

Thanks!

there is a park up the hill. there is a bus that can take you to the staten island childrens museum and I think the zoo is in the same area. you could walk it but its about 30-40 minutes

Is baseball season over? If not there is the Staten isalnd yankee ball park right there. Also you can catch a bus to go to the staten island zoo, clove lake park, snug harbor which is a cultural center the childrens museum all of which is not walking distance but a short bus ride. Check out the mta bus routes.

Have fun!

You don't have to get off. You can just go back and forth. I have done that.

BTW, If you are driving, drive to staten island and take it from there, the parking in the city is very expensive!
