Half arcade, half play center for kids compete with adventure course, blow up slides and a toddler specific section. Parties come with a room, pizza, soda and cupcakes, a play card with a few bucks on it and you can play for as long as you want. Pizza wasn't bad, think Little Caesars. We had a visit with JJ from Cocomelon that was a nice surprised for Bubs. Looking at the flyer and pricing for the different tiered parties and they seem pretty reasonable. I would totally throw a party here or even just take the kids here when visiting my sister or friends with kids.

This was our second visit during the week, and unfortunately we had the same disappointing…read moreexperience both times. The facility itself has so much potential and my grandchildren enjoy the activities, but the weekday staffing is simply inadequate. We arrived around 1:00 in the afternoon and there appeared to be only one person working the front desk and perhaps one other employee covering the facility. Each time the kids wanted to do laser tag, rock climbing, or another attraction, we had to find someone to operate it and often wait quite a while. Many of the attractions appeared closed simply because there was no employee available to run them. The check-in process is also extremely time-consuming if your information isn't already in their system. There is quite a bit of information to enter, and with one employee handling the front desk while also trying to manage everything else, it takes far too long. The concession area had the same issue. This is not an inexpensive place to bring children, especially when you are bringing more than one. For what you spend to enjoy the facility, there should be enough staff available so that the attractions are actually accessible without having to search for an employee every time the kids want to do something. I previously met the owner and found him to be extremely nice, which is why I hope this is something management will address. It's a great concept and could be a wonderful place for families, but after two weekday visits with the same experience, they really need adequate staffing so families can enjoy what they are paying for.

The owner name is Rita and she is such a ray of sunshine. The establishment is very clean. Reasonable price for 1 and .5 hour of open play. Absolutely NO sneakers, you must purchase wear socks or you can purchase them. It's not just for open play but also to have a snack with some tea or coffee. Play a La Mode is great for playdates, birthday parties or just open play. It's a open space which resembles a little town of different stores fronts where your child's imagination can just run wild. They will never get bored because each store/ play area has something to offer. The gym, grocery store, the kitchen, post office, camp fire and that's to just name a few. There is so much to do, your child will never get bored. My son loved everything about this place and did not want to leave. Thanks Rita for opening up such a safe and super fun play space for our kiddies.

Heritage Park is in an area that I have an attachment to. Growing up here in the 1980s, I remember…read morewhen Route 25A was a semi rural road that abutted Davis Peach Farm in Mount Sinai. In the mid 1990s, when I was in my twenties, suburbia conquered the acres of open peach farms at a time when the Route 347 sprawl entended east along Route 25A. In 2013, there was a positive turn of events. On the triangular parcel of former peach farm lane bounded by NY 25A, Coram-Mount Sinai Road, and County Route 83; a developer proposed constructing a home improvement store. Concurrently, the local residents with Brookhaven Township derailed these plans and instead created a beautiful park where residents from all over can enjoy a public space. Heritage Park was born. By now, I was living in Las Vegas. In recent times when I visited my Dad, we had spent time here on four occasions before dining in Lotus East. The way we have experienced Heritage Park is walking the 0.7 mile oval walking path counter clockwise with three bench stops. This review discusses the four experiences here from the perspective of walking the peripheral trail counter-clockwise. To begin with, this is a concrete trail that is level. This has been beneficial to my dad who has had foot issues. Getting on the trail northbound we take in the historic Heritage House. This is a community center that houses local events. For park users this is one of two restroom locations. Continuing north, the Davis Peach farm history lives on with preserved farming equipment by a red barn. As the trail curves west at the triangular northern tip of the park, a community garden and diminutive forest appear to the back of the Heritage House. This is where we sit after walking around the park. Traveling northbound parallel to County Route 83, there are sporadic young trees that have been gradually maturing. Within a few years, I expect them to bring shade to a park that was formerly farmland. It is along this segment where we take our first bench break in a square called "The Court of Americas." This is a neat area where the garden is shaped like the USA that is framed with bricks displaying the names of every US President. From this spot, there is a clear view of the butterfly garden and central walkways. Continuing north, then following an S-curve, my eyes take in the open grass, soccer fields, and baseball fields to the left. At the S-curve, I have seen the most nature in the park that includes rabbits and robins. At the northern preiphery, the trail turns to the left to follow NY 25A. From here, I could see the expanse of open grass reaching towards the Heritage House. Turning to the south, I sometimes cut across the play knoll. I believe that this is the highest point of the park. The trail now parallels Coram-Mount Sinai Road with the soccer field to the left. This is where our second bench stop is. It is a scenic spot that overlooks a decorative waterfall with a miniature pine forest slope providing the backdrop of a putting green fronting open grass reaching towards Route 25A. Continuing north towards the parking lot, the park turns children's friendly. There is a Kids Maze and a playground. What the park is not, is doggy friendly. Dogs are prohibited. Heading more north the scenery features the parking lot to the right with open grass to the left. By now we have walked 0.7 miles. We will conclude the loop at bench stop three overlooking the community garden. Depending on the visit, we have done a second loop or walked back to the car. Speaking of parking. The parking lot is off of Coram-Mount Sinai Road. On all four of our visits there has been sufficient parking. I would like to add that the parking lot is convenient to the the North Shore Rail Trail. Only a short walk along Coram-Mount Sinai Road then across Route 25A is a 10-mile paved trail that connects Mount Sinai to Wading River. This short walk extends the Heritage Park experience into a regional hike or bicycle ride. If I still lived on Long Island, I would partake in it. In conclusion, I give Heritage Park 4-stars. The local residents and Brookhaven Township have created something special.

You can leave and come back, as long as you grab a wristband for your kid before leaving. Gripping socks are a must, and I get why. Everything was super clean, and I just felt so comfortable letting Bubs go from section to section.

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.

I have searched all the chains, online, and was unable to find decent wood that was large enough for my tank. I about to try using oak rods from Home Depot and thought I should at least ask about it at Brian's (I hadn't noticed it before). It turns out they had a huge selection of the most beautiful aquarium driftwood I've ever seen.
