Good to know

Long Island activities, answered

What can we do with the kids on a rainy day on Long Island?

Set the indoor/outdoor filter to Indoor and you will get the whole rainy-day bench: bowling alleys, trampoline parks, indoor playgrounds, arcades, museums, and craft studios across Nassau and Suffolk. Hours move around by season, so it is worth checking the venue's own site before you load everyone into the car.

What is there to do with a 4-year-old on Long Island?

Filter by age and the list narrows to the spots that suit that age. For preschoolers, the dependable ones here are farms, children's museums, indoor playgrounds, and mini-golf. The age filter is the fastest way to rule out the places built for big kids before you drive there.

What counts as an activity here, and what counts as a park or a league?

Activities are the outings you go do for an afternoon: bowling, mini-golf, arcades, farms, museums, trampoline parks, and the like. Free public space lives under Parks & Playgrounds, and anything you register for and show up to weekly is under Leagues & Programs. If you already know what you are after, filter by venue type.
