About this activity
See industry in action at the Brooklyn Navy Yard on this 1.5-hour long small group tour that explores the work of craftspeople, artisans, and manufacturers in the New York City's industrial sector today and visits a factory, workshop, or studio inside the industrial park for a behind-the-scenes look at how a product gets made. Once America's busiest Naval shipyard, today the Brooklyn Navy Yard is a pre-eminent center of manufacturing and industry in New York City, home to over 330 businesses that make products ranging from eco-friendly countertops to custom furniture, medical robots to space suits. Learn why these companies, and hundreds of others, choose to make their products locally.

In addition to visiting a featured Yard tenant's business, this tour begins and ends at the Brooklyn Navy Yard Center at BLDG 92, a visitor, exhibition, and employment center that features three floors of exhibits that explore the past, present, and future of this industrial facility.

Please note that the featured factory, workshop, or studio space featured on this tour rotates from month to month.
