Snug Harbor packs its 83-acre park with Smithsonian-affiliated museums, arts centers, and several world-class gardens. The cultural center currently boasts several genre-defying exhibitions from the Newhouse Center for Contemporary Art, including Don Porcella's exploration of cave-dweller art, early inhabitants of Staten Island, and extraterrestrial life. The Main Hall, meanwhile, showcases lighting pieces from the Renaissance to the Victorian era. Several gorgeous gardens dot the Snug Harbor campus, such as the New York Chinese Scholar's Garden—a painterly panorama of tranquil ponds, covered walkways, and freshly planted Chinese scholars—or the Tuscan Garden, which is modeled after a Florence villa, complete with impeccably trimmed topiary, a one-acre vineyard, and olive and lemon trees.

With an active lineup of special events and seasonal festivals, you'll have plenty of opportunities to explore Snug Harbor's expansive complex. Expand your cultural horizons beyond the tired twists and turns of Turkmenistani soap operas with today's Groupon to Snug Harbor Cultural Center & Botanical Garden.

Reviews

Snug Harbor received a mention from Time Out, Gadling, and the Staten Island Advance. Snug Harbor Cultural Center & Botanical Garden has a 4.5-star average from seven Yelpers.

  • The one-acre New York Chinese Scholar’s Garden — a replica of a 15th-century Ming Dynasty walled garden with roses, banana plants, chrysanthemums and magnolias, open-air courtyards between pavilions and ponds with lotus, water lilies and swimming carp — was constructed by master craftsmen in Suzhou, China, then shipped here in 56 containers, where it was reassembled by 40 Chinese artists and artisans over a period of six months. – Staten Island Advance
  • The centerpiece of Snug Harbor is the site's beautiful 19th Century architecture. – Jeremy Kressmann, Gadling

The Groupon Guide to: Juggling

Discovered by Russian clowns tasked with finding a use for Czar Nicholas's delicate collection of Fabergé eggs, juggling consistently ranks first in polls of Americans' favorite pastimes, ahead of watching our children grow up and imagining being rich. Here's a look at the most commonly juggled items:

Colored Scarves: Perfect for beginners because the wind does the actual juggling
Bowling Pins: Have kept our nation's artisanal pin whittlers in business ever since the Great Bowling Riots of 1884 left 750 million Americans dead
Clavicles: Must be juggled in complete silence, as the air vibrations from even the tiniest whisper could cause them to crack open and hatch into new people
Work and Family: If you've mastered metaphorically juggling these responsibilities, try juggling them literally by throwing your children and your computer in the air at the same time.
Conventional Standards of Morality and the Inescapable Anguish of Ultimate Existential Freedom: It's tough to juggle these.

Is juggling work and family easier if one of those things is just a pile of colored scarves?
