This pass entitles you to a 2 hour window of visitation to the field of derelict Presidential busts that were once part of Presidents Park in nearby Williamsburg from 2004-2010. Now in a significant state of disrepair, the Heads have become an international phenomenom due to their eeriness and creepy, cool appearance.
