About this place

A museum occupying a historic mansion on Long Island with a planetarium, galleries of marine and natural history specimens, and parkland surrounding the estate. Families can tour the mansion and its grounds, watch planetarium shows, see collections of animals and artifacts from around the world, and attend outdoor performances. The site focuses on the Gold Coast era of Long Island history and the collections assembled by William K. Vanderbilt II, which aim to showcase natural diversity and different cultures.

If you are a member here

A membership to The Suffolk County Vanderbilt Museum and Planetarium carries reciprocal admission, so the same card is worth free or discounted entry at other places in this program.

  • NARM in New York Art, history and cultural institutions. Not valid within 15 miles of here.

Reciprocal programs are built for travel and most exclude places close to the one where you hold your membership, so this is worth the most when you are away from home. How reciprocal memberships work
