Beautiful grounds to visit, and obviously the amazing history of the battlefield. The Visitor Center has great artifacts on display plus a great fiber optic light exhibit showing the movement of the armies during the conflict.
There are two lengths to walk, 4.5 miles or 1.5, I think? We did the 4.5 mile loop. They are both loops. The ride is fun and you can bike it.
Very nice people! Very helpful! It is a lovely walk and you can use your phone to narrate, but I don't know a lot about the revolutionary war, I hate to admit, so I felt like there were a lot of people and facts to keep track of. It's more of an explanation of how the war was for the soldiers. Battlefields, to look at, take a lot of imagination to be interesting.
I loved this tour for many reasons. This is a self-guided 10 mile driving tour. You drive the tour with an app. They put a lot of information on the app you use that brings you to different spots along the route. But before you drive the tour watch the integrated map in the back room of the visitors center. It's really worth your time to reconnect all you've forgotten from grammar school. Take the children so they get a better understanding of what was important about fighting for our independence.
Walk the Wilkinson trail and you can easily hit most of the areas where the fighting took place (Benedict Arnold's boot monument) plus both British redoubts and earthworks. Just cut back through any of the connecting trails or parts of the road to make it a 3-4 mile walk.
Visited Center and museum is informative and interesting. The battlefield depictions clearly illustrate how the conflict played out. The driving tour brought things to life as you stand and experience the actual landscape and the role the terrain played regarding battle strategy on both sides. Based on its outcome, a battle that changed the world.
Great place to take a group, but definitely bring your car! We had brought a group of 40 students to learn about the battlefield, and we plan to walk the whole way. However, the sidewalks are small, and there's a lot of danger with cars going by. We were walking in what is essentially the bike lane. The park itself is extremely well-maintained, and has some great historical expose, which will give you all of the information you would like about the battlefield. The Visitor Center is beautiful, and has a lot of things for children and adults look at. The visitor center staff was fairly rude, and they did not greet us, and the women spent the bulk of the time we were in the shop gabbing about their personal problems and their personal issues. I found this very inappropriate. However, it did not stop us from enjoying the beautiful sights, beautiful views, and everything that the park had to offer.
The rest of the park with the Hudson river overlooks and old fortifications can be easily reached by the park road. Entrance is free too!
