Worth it..

Took the subway, a long trek. Convenient Starbuck's for a pre-visit coffee. The hefty entrance charge ($30) took me aback initially, but it was worth it. The architecture, tapestries, gardens, balconies, grounds were well worth it. Took the bus back to midtown, the fare included with my MTA weekly pass, a lengthy but visually pleasing trip through Harlem and the upper west side, and finally Central Park. An oasis in what can otherwise be a chaotic and overwhelming Manhattan vacation.

Step out of modern NYC as you go through Fort Tryon Park and you enter the Cloisters...practically the best medieval Europe has to offer concentrated in one place in Upper Manhattan. The lectern in the form of an eagle is very impressive, the columns of the different cloisters offer a magnificent display of perspective.

This was a pleasant surprise. Well curated historical art and splendidly maintained gardens provide a great relief from the busyness of the city. A must see sight of you're visiting New York City
Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.
Oh yes! In fact, 1 ticket lasts you 3 days at all three locations
There is a place to eat inside the cloisters, though be ready to spend. Its kinda pricy
Yes
2 hours at least . If good weather you can walk around it. Looks good 👌
It's a "suggested donation," I believe if you're a student or NY resident. It might say $25 but you can say you only want to pay $5.
Depending how far you park in their “lot” - a few steps to 3 blocks!
With an NYC ID as well, suggested fee.
The day I went it was pay what you want (whatever you wanted to donate) I am sure they accept any donations.
No
If you live in New York then all the ask for is a donation. It is not required to enter. Be sure to bring your identification.
No, but you can pay whatever you want, 5, 6, 1 dollar to enter. Also if you have a bank of America card, you don't have to pay anything on the first weekend of every month.
The historical armor is at the Metropolitan museum of art. A huge permanent exhibit of arms and armor. Beautiful metal work and engraving. I think the outdoor Knights at the Cloisters are a modern cast or 3D printed sculpture that imitates a person in armor and is not very ornate.
New Leaf would be a better option for a meal than the cafe at the Cloisters, and allows you to take a stroll through the beautiful Fort Tryon Park, Manhattan's best-kept secret!
Its mostly the modern clothing but there are a couple of papal garments.
Eric, Shana, and Edward are all correct. There is no public transportation that will get you within a block or two of it, but a walk of about 1/2 mile should actually get you into The Cloisters. Actually, Fort Tryon Park will appear much sooner, and you will really enjoy going there! In the spring and summer, there are beautiful flowers to admire and photograph. Also, the views of the Hudson River are incredible. It's a very romantic place!
I was there with my sister who was taking a couple photos of me and my fiance there (not with any equipment or anything other than a DSLR camera with the flash turned off at all times) and the staff was actually very rude and inappropriate to us. They told us no 'professional' photography was allowed, which this was not. They then told us we were lying based on how I was dressed (knee length dress and Reebok sneakers...?) We were very polite to the staff, but still they started making threats to us, which was fairly scary. The only point is be careful. It ruined our visit.
There is more parking close by
No concerts for 2021
No, other than closing time of course... :) It's a relaxed and peaceful atmosphere.
I agree with Anthony C. No need to change anything. I used the same ticket at The MET at the Cloisters. Realistically, you'll need one day each at each museum. There's just so much to see...to appreciate...not enough time to take it all in.
If you have a NY ID, you may be able to pay-as-you-wish.
The suggested donation was $25 but we only paid $10 and had no problem touring the museum.
Pay as you wish for NY residents
When we went there was free parking in front of it.
25 per adult. 12 and under free. There are veteran and senior discounts but i did not get the numbers. It also includes admission to the met 5th ave as well.
It is a donation, so they will ask what you can afford, if you are a NY resident. You will need id We paid 10 per person. If you decide to use the headphones they are 7 per person. They have a couple of free hourlong docent given tours that will cover the highlights of the building its history and some of the artifacts.
To my knowledge pay as you wish is only for residents and it's daily.
Most likely yes... Some of the road have marked bike lanes... so it would be a big miss if there was no bike rack.
Yes, you will pass by a restaurant on the left with a parking area that seems like you're there but tell the driver keep going until you go a bit further - the Cloisters Building opens up wide on the left. There's a parking area on the right side of the street but Access-A-Ride can take you directly to the entrance. There's usually a Security Person at the entrance & you can ask for the best ACCESSIBLE entrance. This means the area without stairs. Enjoy! (There's several beautiful gardens and many displays of the Medieval Church using materials made from gold, ivory, marble, and alabaster.) 🏰💙
Fort Washington at 190th street that leads directly into the park
When you go to the museum you should be aware whether the admissions is a donation. If the fee is a recommended donation you can pay less then the recommende donation. Say 5 bucks a head instead of the recommeded 20 dollars. I believe the cloisters is a recommended donation.
Yes...
Sorry, i don't know🙄
Check to see if they have your company's discount if you go on the weekends.
https://www.nycgo.com/articles/accessibility-guide-to-the-met-cloisters
According to their posted schedule they are open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. every day. https://www.metmuseum.org/visit/plan-your-visit/met-cloisters
Yes you can visit most areas. They have an elevator for the disabled and wheelchairs in most of the exhibit rooms. Check out this article: https://www.nycgo.com/articles/accessibility-guide-to-the-met-cloisters
Adults 25$ Seniors 17$ Students 17$. Remember you will be able to enter at the 3 Museums: Met 5th avenue, Met Cloisters, and MET Breuer, during 3 consecutive days with the same ticket, don't loose it
If you new York residents you can buy the tickets include exhibitions and same day entry at the met, the met breuer, and the the met cloister with valid ID.
The ticket is the same as the MET, including the entrance to the cloisters.
There are three very small parking lots. I think they are solely for cars, not tour buses. The first is on the right when passing New leaf Cafe about 1 minute after driving into the park. It has roughly 30 spaces. The second lot is across Margaret Corbin Drive from the museum itself and has roughly 15 spaces, some of which are taken by Museum staff. A third parking area is just around the bend at the North end of Margaret Corbin drive. Where the road splits, take the right and park in one of about 10 spaces overlooking the Hudson River from 20 stories up! I don't know if the first two lots are open to the public.
At the backside, there is some free parking slots. Coming from midtown you'll find it
Sunday hours are the same as the rest of the week: November-February: 10am-4:45pm March-October: 10am-5:15pm Closed Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's.
Yes yhe A and 1 trains are nearby, but since the cloisters are atop of the park there's a walk of at least 10 minutes. There's also the M5 bus that takes you through the park and leaves you in front of one of the Cloisters entrances.
I think so but you need to ask the Cloisters
"Fashion and the Catholic Imagination" is through October 8. Both papal robes and early 20th c. items are there
Yes, definitely! There are different areas all with amazing views. Totally recommended!
A train stops right outside Fort Tryon park so any train that gets you to the A line would work for you
190th street station
The Cloisters are on 195th St on the West side. The Met is on 86th on the East side.
Yes very quiet during the day (you have to cross a park to get to the museum).
yes there is plenty of parking on the approach road, with cars arriving and leaving regularly..though it is a bit if a walk....limited disabled parking closer to the entrance
There is a cafe in the park and the museum has a very small cafe. But walking distance outside of the park there are restaurants.
No, never. It is a building made up for our benefit, from real cloister parts imported from France Spain England Germany etc
There's a snack bar offering sandwiches, hot and cold beverages. There are tables sorrounding a courtyard
I can't give you a number, but I have never seen crowds there except for special events.
Yes. It opens at 10:00 and closes at 5:15, however they close the ticket booth at 4:45
No
I doubt it, but there is one sarchaphacus of a French knight.
Take the uptown A to 190th street, then use the elevator to exit.
Suggested donation is $25 per person. That's their suggestion and you can donate a different amount.
If you just follow the trail down back to the street you'll find plenty of restaurants. Additionally the cloisteres has as Ryan mentioned a SMALL cafe.
