Aside from driving, the definite best way to get to Kingston is by taking the Adirondack Trailways Bus from Port Authority directly to the Kingston Stockade. The bus leaves every 1-2 hours from Port Authority from 7am-8pm, and takes about 2 hours. https://trailways.com/schedules/bus-from-new-york-ny-to-kingston-ny/ If you prefer not to bus, you can take the train (Amtrak and Metro North are both options), but these will require transfers and taxi rides after arriving. We don't recommend this option.
No. The stockade district has a lot of things to do if you're getting in on Friday and leaving Sunday. There are taxis and car services that can get you to other parts of Kingston and the surrounding area. If you're interesting in hiking or exploring neighboring towns, renting a car is worth it.
Yes, Kingston is a very popular destination all year round, but especially in the spring. Book as soon as you can!
Garden formal! What exactly does this mean? We'd like to see flowy dresses and suits, and our guests looking and feeling their best. Color is encouraged! *Cocktail hour will be held on the lawn, be mindful of your shoe choices*
