We are excit­ed to announce the open­ing of our new Wel­come Cen­ter! Locat­ed behind the Wel­come wall to the left of the Man­hat­tan fer­ry land­ing, the Wel­come Cen­ter serves as the infor­ma­tion hub for Gov­er­nors Island. Stop by to learn about all the activ­i­ties the Island has to offer, includ­ing spe­cial pro­gram­ming and events for the day. Our friend­ly Vis­i­tor Ser­vices team is there to help. Made up of high school interns from our Har­bor Intern­ship Pro­gram and vol­un­teers, our Vis­i­tor Ser­vices team will help ori­ent you and answer any ques­tions you have. 

The Wel­come Cen­ter also offers an array of Island essen­tials like sun­block, umbrel­las, pic­nic blan­kets, snacks and bev­er­ages in addi­tion to one of a kind Gov­er­nors Island sou­venirs and toys.
