One of the best kinds of mothers day gifts that you can give your mom is a fun, enjoyable experience. The state of New York offers many different things to do, from art museums to beautiful hiking trails in the wilderness. New, fun experiences create memories that last a lifetime, providing far more value than a “World’s Best Mom” coffee mug or a new piece of jewelry. This Mother’s Day, consider taking your mom to visit some of New York’s most interesting destinations. Whether your mom prefers museums and urban areas, or the remote wilderness of beautiful, mountainous upstate New York, the state has many things to do and see this Mother’s Day.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art
If yoiur mom’s an art lover, consider taking her to one of the nation’s most renowned art museums: the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Located in New York City, The Met contains thousands of beautiful artworks from around the world. You can view paintings by Western masters like Paul Cezanne and Gustav Klimt, along with ancient statues that are thousands of years old. Whether your mom prefers abstract modern art or classic Impressionist artworks, the Metropolitan Museum of Art has something for everyone. This spring, The Met is featuring an exhibition of Indian artwork titled “Sultans of Deccan India: Opulence and Fantasy,” a must-see if your mother has a fondness for Oriental art.
The Guggenheim Museum
Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, the Guggenheim museum houses an astounding collection of modern art, from 19th century impressionist pieces to non-objective contemporary works. Known for its incredible and unique architecture, the Guggenheim is a great place to take your mom if she likes modern artists like Franz Marc, Paul Klee, and Pablo Picasso.
Niagara Falls
Located on the border between New York State and the Canadian province of Ontario, Niagara Falls is beloved for its timeless beauty. It consists of three beautiful waterfalls: Horseshoe Falls, American Falls, and the Bridal Veil Falls. If your mother has never seen Niagara Falls, taking her to see this wonder of nature is one of the best mother’s day gifts you could give her.
Adirondack Park
Located in upstate New York, Adirondack Park is a protected area in the Adirondack Mountains. The largest state park in the United States, Adirondack Park offers beautiful mountain woodland scenery inhabited by beavers, martens, moose, ospreys, and other native wildlife. The park is the size of the state of Vermont, and holds over three thousand lakes. If your mom loves nature, consider including a visit to beautiful Adirondack Park as one of your mother’s day gifts.
The North Country Trail
Stretching all the way from New York to North Dakota, the North Country Scenic Trail begins in eastern New York state at Crown Point. If your mom loves hiking and the outdoors, the North Country Trail offers beautiful forest scenery as it runs through the Finger Lakes National Forest and other protected wilderness areas with beautiful lakes, mountains, and trees. Spring is a great time to experience the natural beauty of these remote areas of New York, far away from busy, high-traffic urban environment of New York City.
