15 Best Things To Do in Yonkers, New York

Picture of Yonkers, New York

About Yonkers


Yonkers’ proximity to New York often makes it the less-loved child in the family, and that’s quite unfortunate since the city has a lot to offer. Along with the NY-esque gardens and museums, Yonkers also has a vibrant cultural scene since the city hosts a film festival and many musical concerts throughout the year.

The YoFi Film Festival showcases animated films, short films, and documentaries made by local talent and shouldn’t be missed by tourists headed to Yonkers in October.

What makes it different - and much quieter - than New York is the availability of many parks and historical trails that let you take a breather from the fast-paced and crowded urban life. For instance, the Untermyer Gardens are arranged beautifully to represent the local flora and fauna.

Some notable sections include the Rock Garden, Sundial Garden, and the Temple of Love.
