How long does it take to walk through a Dia Beacon?
Dia and the main part of town are an easy walk from the station. Museum is much larger than it appears when you first arrive so plan for 1-2 hours to see everything. We went in winter so the grounds were not in bloom but even so it looked like a pretty area to enjoy relaxing after touring the museum.
