This is a small museum but a great local day out, especially in less favorable weather conditions like rain, heat, or cold. There are a nice array of Hudson River School painters in the permanent collection. There are also some interesting exhibits thar change over from time to time. Two museum exhibits include scavanger hunts and these were great! Additionally there is a planetarium with a very informative general audience show $8 (Adult) as well as some specialized to children. The Glenview Mansion is part of the museum and can also be toured for an additional $8. Last, but not least, the museum offers a drop in craft . Today as part of our admission my friends and I made fun little bracelets out of film. There was a children's project of decorating gloves as well. So...a little something for most tastes. All told,I believe we spent about 4 hours. Its close to Untermeyer Gardens as well.

Returning to the Hudson River Museum this past weekend was a full-circle moment for me. I was born and raised in Yonkers and hadn’t been back to the museum since around 1984.

As a kid, the planetarium was always my favorite part and I’m happy to say it’s still just as magical. We saw the planetarium show, explored the museum galleries, and toured Glenview, the historic home on the property.

The entire experience was wonderful. The museum feels vibrant, well-curated, and welcoming.

Our tour guide at Glenview, Rowan, was absolutely fabulous — incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and entertaining. It’s clear how much passion they bring to the history of the home, and it made the visit that much more memorable.

I’m so glad I decided to return after all these years. The Hudson River Museum is truly a gem in Yonkers, and I highly recommend a visit. Will definitely visit again soon!

Very enjoyable, lovely exhibits that covered a variety of artistic approaches. Educational and not overwhelming. The planetarium seemed to have a nice program for children along with a scavenger hunt. Nicely spaced out so it wouldn't seem crowded even if there were many visitors. And the view of the Hudson River is wonderful

This is actually a very interesting museum. You can see a lot of photographs of the history and some fun arts. Nice location and beautiful buildings. Ticket is $15/person.

We passed by the museum from the Glenwood station and was amazed by the open view of the riverside. The Glenview Mansion view is quite fascinating too - especially in front of the lawn
The rest pales in comparison and is a typical art museum with paintings and sculptures connected to a tad of science.
