Things to Do with Your Kids
Jones Beach State Park
If you enjoy outdoor activities, there are a lot of things you can do in Long Island. We often go to the Jones Beach State Park because it has a beautiful stretch of sand facing the Atlantic Ocean. A lot of families visit this park.
You can swim in the sea, enjoy the scenery in the boardwalk, grab a bite at the concession area, go sunbathing, ride a bicycle, and do a lot more. Whenever we visit this park, we always end up spending an entire day here.
Le Play Café
If you’re a bit tired of an entire day’s worth of activities, a trip to the Le Play Café may be just what you need. You can sit down, sip a cup of coffee and relax a bit while your husband checks his email and your little one continues having fun. This venue is a great way for children to interact and socialize with other kids. Your kids can enjoy playing with musical instruments, arts and crafts, dancing and other fun he
