Finally, very important: there is Storm King State Park and Storm King School you probably see on your way - please do not confuse them with Storm King Art Center.
My advice: after parking the car take your time walking through Meadows to Museum Hills.
After that, take the elevator down and get on the tram (running every 30 min). You'll give a rest to your feet and learn some interesting facts from the commentary provided on the tram.
The tram makes many stops on its way, but there is no guaranty the seats will be available at every stop. You can go all the way and come back to the elevator (this stop is close to the South and Upper Parking lots) or you can get off at the Three Legged Buddha or Storm King Wall (author A. Goldsworthy)., After walking around South Fields you can take the tram or walk to your parking lot.
Hours: Beginning April 4, 2012, Wednesday through Sunday, 10:00 am to 5:30 pm (grounds remain open until 8:00 pm on Saturdays, May 26–September 1, and on Sunday May 27 and Sunday September 2; until 5:00 pm in November). The place closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, except for the Monday holidays marking Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, and Columbus Day.
