Digester Egg Tours

All in-person digester egg tours have been suspended at this time. When in-person digester egg tours resume, we will update this page and notify our followers on Facebook and Twitter. We look forward to seeing you all in the future!

What to Expect

The Digester Egg Tour starts with an overview of the wastewater treatment process—an essential part of protecting public health and New York City’s waterways. After, we treat guests to unobstructed views of the Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens skylines from the observation deck, a glass-enclosed walkway built atop our state-of-the art digester eggs.

Location

The Digester Egg Tour starts at the Visitor Center at Newtown Creek, located in Brooklyn’s Greenpoint neighborhood. We are easy to spot—just look for the bright orange building. The entrance is near the intersection of Greenpoint Avenue and Humboldt Street at 329 Greenpoint Avenue Brooklyn, NY 11222.
