Holtsville Ecology Center?
Has anyone been since they started charging? I'm wondering what the non-resident fee is. Thanks!

Re: Holtsville Ecology Center?
they changed it to non-resident fee of $5! much better than $20. residents are $10 for a "pass" which is a 1 time fee for the whole season.

Do you get the resident pass right there at the gate. I wasnt aware of the charge, but happy to pay it if it keeps this place open.

That's what I was wondering. I have a valid TOB sticker so does that get me in or is the Ecology Center sticker it's own thing?

The TOB parks sticker will get you in for free.

Re: Holtsville Ecology Center?
Just saw this on The Patch:
The Town of Brookhaven has instituted the following parking fee information for residents and non-residents who wish to visit the Holtsville Ecology Center this season:
$5 per car, per day for all visitors to the Ecology Center. This includes Brookhaven residents and non-residents alike.
A pro-rated yearly pass costing $10 per car is available for Brookhaven residents only. Residents will get a sticker affixed to their vehicle of choice and will allow for unlimited visits to the Center. The stickers expire on 12/31/2013.
Brookhaven residents that are seniors, veterans or handicapped can purchase the yearly pass described above for a fee of $7.
The yearly pass is ONLY available to Brookhaven residents.
The Holtsville Ecology Center has an animal preserve, hiking trails, tours and education programs, gardens and greenhouses, meeting rooms, a pool, picnic and playground area, Safety Town, and a compost site. It is located at 249 Buckley Road in Holtsville. Hours of operation are:
Weekdays: 9 a.m. - 3 p.m.
Weekends (Seasonal) 10 a.m. - 3 p.m.
I don't see anything about a $250 pass for non-residents.

Holtsville Ecology Center?
Is this place good for a 2 year old? They did this turtle thing a few weeks ago that I REALLY wanted to go to, but nobody from the site got back to me about if the event would be good for a 2 year old. Didn't want to go all the way out there to find out it wasn't a good idea for a little kiddo.

They must have change it, when I was there 2 weeks ago with DS, the sign out in front of the little booth had all the prices listed and that's where I saw the $250 fora yearly pass for non Brookhaven town residents.... The guy taking the money and handing out the parking passed confirmed it too, he even said it was ridiculous
