Fun Indoor Activities Across Long Island
Many of us are looking forward to beautiful spring weather so we can enjoy our favorite outdoor activities. In the meantime, there are so many fun indoor activities to do across Long Island to keep you busy and entertained this winter. Our area just happens to be home to some of the nation's best museums, malls, and indoor recreation, and our real estate agents love exploring them all this time of year. Need some recommendations on where to go? Here are our top five favorite indoor activities around Long Island:
- Long Island Aquarium - 431 E Main St, Riverhead, NY 11901
Spend the entire day observing fascinating fish, tour the Amazon Rainforest habitat, or get an up close and personal view of a shark. The Long Island Aquarium features one of the largest coral reef displays in the world, a 120,000-gallon shark habitat, touch pools, an interactive Penguin Encounter experience, and over 100 exhibits. It's one of the best aquariums in the country, and it's right here in our own backyard. - Cradle of Aviation Museum - Charles Lindbergh Blvd, Garden City, NY 11530
If you're interested in flight and aircraft, you'll certainly love the Cradle of Aviation Museum. This air and space museum is full of original and replica airplanes from different eras. Plus, they have a full-dome surround-sound planetarium with several brand-new shows. With tons of programming and exhibits, this museum makes learning about science and history tons of fun. - Oheka Mansion Tour - 135 W Gate Dr, Huntington, NY 11743
