Profile
Built in 1993 as an addition to the Harlem Meer, this environmental educational center offers many family-friendly events, such as nature lectures, concerts and dancing along the water. Enjoy catch-and-release fishing (bass and catfish), the Halloween Pumpkin Sail of candlelit Jack O'Lanterns and cheerful holiday programming in December. Visitors can find a clean bathroom here, too.
