Reviews
"My son and I did a tour of Fort Wadsworth led by Kathy today. She did an excellent job of sharing the history of the Fort and its makings. In addition, there was a Cub Scout group that was part of the tour. She was very patient and managed the kids well. She also involved them in the learning process and the kids were quite engaged! Kathy was very personable and friendly. We look forward to doing another visit!"
"Nice place to walk/jog, learn some history, then relax. Previously erroneously thought they logged you in at the gate, but it's open to the public. Stay hydrated; water is available at the visitor center."
"Great place to visit regardless of what time of year. During the summer and weekdays, come for a free inside tour of the actual fort itself where you can immerse yourself with how it would feel to be there when it was active."
"A place to sit back and reflect. See the beautiful skyline of Brooklyn and Manhattan and Jersey. Take some great pictures, while taking in the beauty."
"The Visitor Center is the best way to start your visit to Fort Wadsworth. There is a museum which provides a great overview of the historic military base and fortifications and there are park rangers on staff who can point out all the best things to see in the park. Definitely worth your time. - Be advised: this visitor center is open seasonally (spring, summer, and fall) and is usually closed in the winter. Call ahead!"
