Suggestions on kid-friendly LIRR destinations
my kids are obsessed with the train, I want to take them on a ride, but not ready to go to the city by myself with them yet.....
any suggestions on where we can go walk arounda little and then go back home?

Re: Suggestions on kid-friendly LIRR destinations
What train line are you on?
Off the top of my head, I would suggest Great Neck. The train stops right in town and you can take them for lunch at Pancho's (kid-friendly Mexican place) and then walk down the block to the park (which has sprinklers). You can also get some Cold Stone at some point.

Re: Suggestions on kid-friendly LIRR destinations
what about long beach? then you can take them down to the beach for a little bit and head back. I don't remember it being a really long walk to the beach. maybe 5-6 blocks?

The train also stops right in Town in Port Washington and you could walk around. It is a long walk to the bay, but do-able if you have them in a stroller and used to walking.

It looks so cute there..we've been to the park, but never on the train. I know some families that have done bday parties there too.

Re: Suggestions on kid-friendly LIRR destinations
take the train to Port Jefferson. The Village offers lots of great shops but your kids would get a kick just walking down to the dock to see the boats and ferry. You can grab McDonalds there or an ice cream cone.
Then just behind Harbor Square Mall in the parking lot is Rocket Park that all kids seem to love.
I also think the village center offers free activities for the kids in the summer. Look on exploreli.com
