Park Slope and Prospect Park City Park
Free
Built in 1904 and styled after the grand 16th-century National Library of St. Mark's, in Venice, the center sits opposite the Lullwater Bridge, making it an idyllic spot for watching swans, ducks, and wedding photo sessions. Interactive exhibits, park tours, and programs for kids revolve around nature education. Sign up for a bird-watching tour to see some of the 200 species spotted here.
