Things To Do In the Summer With Kids On Long Island

Hi All,

Its summertime and the livin' is good - as they say.  But wait...you've got kids and you need to keep them occupied - you don't want them on a tablet or a phone or a tv or a computer screen all day!  What's a person to do?

Great question and we've got some answers at least.

This first link is from Click on this link from Mommypoppins for an article titled Summer Fun Guide For Long Island Kids. There are some great ideas lurking in there!

The next link is  also from Mommypoppins - this link is titled 50 Free Things To Do With Long Island Kids This Summer.  Awesome resources and ideas. 

A website called TripSavvy got into 'let's keep kids busy during the summer racket' with a link on their site called 'Top 10 Children's Attractions on Long Island'. 

Mommypoppins seems to be a getting a lot of play on the blog today.  Here's another valuable article titled '25 Things We Can't Wait to Do With LI Kids This Summer' - note that the article is very, very recent - as in from June 2017.

Finally the Long Island Press wrote an article titled '43 Things To Do With Your Kids on Long Island' some time ago.  The article is well worth taking the time to peruse if you want to keep the little ones busy this summer!

So there you have it - a bunch of websites that'll help you keep the kids busy this summer.  Remember there are about 65 or so days left until school starts! :)

Enjoy the resources and if you think that I've missed any good ones send me an email at fdaleref@nassaulibrary.org and I'll include them in an upcoming blog post!

A Little Summer Turbulence in Farmingdale

Hi All,

Summertime means fun in the sun and days at an amusement park or beach or park or kayaking on the water or well, anything to do with the 'great outdoors'. 

So what better way to say summer than an article about Farmingdale's Adventureland?

Indeed, a brand new, $5 million roller coaster opened at Adventureland amusement park recently. 
Click on this link to read more about this - directly from The Farmingdale Observer - from an article written on 6/2/15!

Click on this link from Adventureland to see a few pictures of the new behemoth roller coaster. While on the site, users can buy season passes, get park information, learn about birthday parties, where to eat, shop the online store and see pictures of the various rides/attractions at the amusement park.

Enjoy the summer - enjoy your trip to Adventureland!

Finally, if you like roller coasters or amusement parks, click on this link which goes to the library card catalog where you'll find books on amusement parks and roller coasters - we have - or can get any of the books on the list for you!

Enjoy the links!
