5 Daytrips to Escape

NYC

Cold Spring

Cold Spring is tiny village located on the always beautiful and scenic banks of the Hudson River. Getting there is as easy as taking the Metro North from Manhattan and the real hard

part might be leaving behind Cold Spring’s scenic views of the Hudson, which can be enjoyed from various points on their “Main Street.” Main Street is lined with small shops, cafes,

diners, and slopes down into the banks of the Hudson.

WestPoint Military Academy

West Point Military Academy has a beautiful and historic campus, being that it has been the United States Army’s elite training ground since

1802. West Point was originally established as an outpost in 1778 and now has famous alums including former presidents Eisenhower and Grant and one of the first humans to step on the moon, Buzz Aldrin.

Visitors can buy a travel package that gives them access to a tour of the campus.

Skydive in New Jersey

Skydive in New Jersey is fun is you are feeling adventurous, and unfortunately skydiving in

Manhattan is likely very frowned upon. Luckily, our neighbors across the Hudson have plenty of space for

us to jump out of a plane and safely land.

Kykuit

Kykuit is the name of the John D. Rockefeller Estate, a 40 room mansion located in Hudson

Valley. It was built in the 1900s and is now open for tours and picnics on its immense lawn.

Atlantic City

Atlantic City if its the weekend and you feel like luck is on your side, heading down to Atlantic City is always an option.

Catching a bus from Port Authority or a train from Penn State is super convenient and you can spend a weekend surrounded by beaches, games, and casinos. You will not run out of things

to do.
