About this event
Hudson River Park's research aquarium closes for the season by returning its residents to the river. The Wetlab team brings out the fish and invertebrates caught in the Hudson over the year, talks visitors through what each species tells them about the estuary, and then releases them off Pier 40. A short, genuinely unusual piece of city science, and very good with children.
Why we picked it
Watching a year's worth of Hudson River wildlife go back into the river is the sort of thing only New York offers.
Free entry
New York Family's listing gives the cost as "Free" (Hudson River Park's own site is unfetchable from here, so the price and time are single-sourced).
