We'd been meaning to visit this for some time now, and finally had a weekend afternoon with…read morebeautiful weather to get it done. First of all the parking - there is a very small parking lot at the park building in front of the sanctuary. Actually, you are supposed to park in front of the cemetery that we passed just before (The one with Roosevelt's grave). Otherwise, you take the extensive paths through a serene area infused with Theodore Roosevelt's love of nature. We did not see any birds on our brief visit but the overall tone of the park cast a peaceful spell over us at all time. The graduated steps are very well maintained here, in direct contrast to those at Cold Spring Harbor State Park down the road. There are lots of benches for walkers and circular seminar seating for those taking guided tours. Thr only sounfs here were the chirping of unseen birds and one dog at the end of the trail. It is a park that demands return visits and we will obey.

I visited here recently and it's a nice place to wander. They have plants that are native and…read morenon-invasive non-native plants that can thrive without causing disarray. Joy is in charge of the plants and she's super knowledgeable. There's a building with one normal parking space and 3 handicap parking spaces. You can meet some cute critters, learn about the natural wildlife, buy merchandise that helps support this local gem, use restrooms, and sign up to volunteer for community programs. There's a beautiful fountain in the middle of the park and some benches surrounded by trees and smaller plants. Keep the fences closed as per their rules and happy walks!

This is a cool place for kids and adults if you're a dino lover. They have interactive learning…read morespots, some animals to admire (we got to pet a rabbit), and animatronic dinosaurs (not the same as Dinosaurs Alive from the 90s, iykyk). Parking is very small, but not that many people come and go when I go. Admission is $15. Why the low rating you ask? When I did this a year ago, they had you wait in the lobby and gave you a guided tour and explained things, made you hold a snake, and gave you items to hold and touch that aren't part of the free for all it is now. I asked if they can do the guided tour, and we were told they have staff along the way to answer questions...not one human in site! So unfortunate, you guys really need that element back! By the way, I kind of feel bad for the goat that has his pen right next to the trex as big as a house...I've seen Jurassic Park, they are not besties. I'm sure that goat staring him down all day is scared for his life. :(

We enjoyed the Taylor Swift visit and songs, lip gloss making, cupcakes and tote decorating activities! Her suggestion on food choice via a nearby vendor was also perfect for the occasion.

Everyone in attendance had a wonderful time crafting (we chose stuffed animal puppies, complete with hearts, collars, and tshirts, as well as lava lip glosses). The store is gorgeous, clean and sophisticated, and the staff that helped the kids craft that day were friendly and knowledgeable. It was also great that the parking lot was nearby and covered (it was raining heavily that day - but we didn't get wet at all!) I highly recommend Let's Craft for your next kids birthday party or ladies night out... I will surely go back!!!

The community center serves educational, recreational and the exercising needs of the community as well as neighboring communities and is able to be used for a nominal fee for those of the community and a slightly higher fee for those who don't live within it. The staff is very helpful and courteous in helping you meet your need in doing whatever it is you'd like to accomplish during your visit. I'll continue to support the center and encourage those who live within the community of westbury or neighboring town to stop by for a tour of the facility and support.

We had a group of about 15 Cub scouts there finishing the ferns and animal related topic badge. The lady who gave a lesson about how to track or discover animals around us during our daily life, but the lesson was in a small room with no AC. The boys were not interested in the discussion at all. The session was informative to the parents, but the lady seemed unable to handle younger kids. We then took a nature walk outside and the boys were very into the hike. The trail was clearly marked and easy to access by foot. Parking lot was relatively small. Overall it was an okay experience.
