Science Museum of Long Island on Plandome road in Manhasset is a place to visit on a nice day…read more Good for the family. Use GPS as there are some winding hilly roads to get there. Follow the signs. Thereis parking to the side of the main house. This visit had a tour of plants . There is a pond, fire pit and picnic tables throughout the area.it is a nature preserve park with many native plants along with some for sale. I suggest wearing a hat and sunscreen. While there are paths, sturdy shoes or work boots are good too along with a bottle of water. I did sera sign for bathrooms as well. They have a compost pile on the side.if you happen to have peelings from vegetables feel free to drop them off on your visit and learn how they make black gold for the soil.

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.

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!)

Kids still hungry and eating adult food ordered leaving not enough for adults at the party. I will not recommend to any of my friends or family!! Do not waste your money on this place!!!! Cost as much as Adventure Land party the year before which was awesome! They could use some tips from Adventure Land on how to throw a good worth your money kind of a party.

The assistant Lyla is nice and cooperative, cant say the same about the owner (she was the other person in the store at the time). Once my 2.5 year old finished painting the sculpture my daughter continued playing with the brushes they had provided us. The owner came around and took the brushes away, saying that they will have to be washed again since my daughter got color on them. I don't understand the fuss since this is a painting studio too so obviously you are washing the paint brushes! Definitely a place for 4+ toddlers, i would not go in with kids below that age, not super friendly for that younger age group.

Ive mostly been to the Staten island location so this review will mostly be a comparison to the SI and Howard Beach/Lindenwood locations. This place has a good number of games to keep us busy. SI seems to be bigger and has more games and Howard Beach has less games compared to this location. This place only has the trampoline area but SI has both trampoline and adeventure zone. I went to this location MLK monday afternoon around 330pm and place was busy. Luckily I already had a playpass so didnt have to wait for the long line at the register. Even though it was busy, there were still alot of tables available. This location has games that the other 2 locations didnt have. For example, Scooby doo mystery van Kiddie ride, Connect Four basketball game, Halo shooting game. They also had an air hockey table that was kiddie sized but longer than the kiddie hockey table at Howard Beach. I didnt try the food here so cant comment on that. The trampoline zone was pretty busy here as well. Overall, this is a pretty good location with a decent number of games. My 4 and 1.5 yo kids had a good time.

Even to the point where in 2026, Sean (who is the current director), picked up from where Sharon left off. Sportime is now part of our family. The boys cant wait to go back. Now they don't have too because our boys will be taking tennis lesson this coming September.

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. :(

After the glow in the dark room they have the kids eat pizza, juice, water and dessert. Overall the staff was very friendly and made sure that the kids had what they needed.
