Spring Fun Guide for Long Island Kids

Just as flowers blossom all over Long Island in spring, so do great activities for local families. There's plenty of outdoor fun to enjoy during the spring in our beautiful botanic gardens and arboretums, plus the local farms and u-pick spots on the East End. We've got plenty of Easter-inspired fun from egg hunts to photo-ops with the Easter bunny, plus season-long fun in parks and playgrounds, amusement parks, and more.
