Day Trip: DIA Beacon

This is why you work hard in the city, so you can get away to enjoy all NY has to offer, like this gem only a few hours away. to get there take the metro north to Beacon and prepare to zone out.

I always make a day to come here every few months and unplug, it’s the best thing to do solo. It’s something about the grounds and how they’re kept I suppose all I know is I’m not the only one who also agrees that this place is fantastic.

Getting There:

From Grand Central:

Take the Hudson Line on the Metro-North Railroad heading towards Poughkeepsie Look for a train that stops at Beacon. (You can purchase a ticket at Grand Central from a kiosk or via the MTA eTix app).

The trip will take around 80–90 minutes Sit back and enjoy the views of the Hudson River along the way!

ARRIVING: At Beacon Station: Once you arrive, it’s just a short 10–15 minute walk to DIA Beacon.

Exit the station and head west (towards the river), then follow Beekman Street and turn left onto Red Flynn Drive, which will lead you right to the museum entrance.
