Shelter Island

Shelter Island is nestled between the North and South Forks and only accessed by ferry from either Greenport on the North Fork or North Haven on the South Fork. It’s known for its natural beauty, hiking, biking, birdwatching and some of the most breathtaking kayaking in Suffolk County. The entire island is approximately 27 square miles but hosts its own community worth exploring any time of year.

✨Reichert Planetarium Reopens✨💫 On June 4!! Please purchase tickets on our website ahead of time. Due to distancing rules we will have a limited capacity, we expect tickets to sell out fast. Safety protocols 😷🚨masks and six-foot social distancing – will be observed, including low seating capacity. Seats and restrooms will be cleaned between shows. Dave Bush, director of the Planetarium, said, “We are very excited to reopen and will offer a wonderful schedule of programming that appeals to a wide range of audiences. In addition, we are bringing back our ever-popular, one-hour live lectures about the nighttime sky on Friday and Saturday nights at 8:00 pm. “Our planetarium technology has never been better. We are ready to amaze and astound our audiences with the breathtaking wonders of the nighttime sky, our solar system, the Milky Way galaxy, and beyond.” In June 2020, Bush added two new advanced systems that greatly improve the visual experience for visitors – laser-beam projectors to enhanced laser light entertainment shows and laser phosphorus full-dome video projectors that generate sharper imagery. The state-of-the-art equipment adds dimension and excitement, he said. 🤩 ... #vanderbiltmuseumandplanetarium #vanderbiltmuseum #discoverlongisland #iloveny #startalk #astronomy #supportthearts #supportscience #supportmuseums vanderbiltmuseum
