One of New York's most populous settlements, Yonkers is a popular city with extensive plans for redevelopment and regeneration set to radically change the cityscape over the coming decade. A particularly green city with over 70 independent parks and public spaces, Yonkers is a friendly city with a close-knit feel, and benefits from a settled community that both live and work in the city.
One of Yonkers' main tourist attractions is the Hudson River Museum, which houses art exhibitions and hands-on exhibits marking the history of the wider Yonkers area. With diverse collections on show year round, the museum is open to the public and welcomes in excess of 100,000 through its doors every year.
Yonkers is big on entertainment, with several cinemas and amusement parks in easy-to-reach locations throughout the city and surrounding areas, including the Cross County Multiplex Cinema and Kid-O-Robics which is specifically designed for young children.
