Favorite Cafes
The seasonal latte options are my favorite! I try to taste all of them before they post the next round
Muni's Coffee Joint (@muniscoffeejoint_lindenhurst)
The Adeni Chai is one of my favorite drinks on the menu. This is not your typical chai latte. The flavor is more bold, rich and spiced. And I love that you can seem that at the open counter crafting your drink from actual tea leaves and coffee beans.
Qahwah House
If you're looking for a strong, straight forward espresso based drink, this is your place. They also have the most amazing gelato, which you can turn into an affogato if you'd like
So Sveglio Espresso Bar
Places for kids
Super clean open play space! Perfect for toddler-aged kids. Loved that everything was at the perfect height for my little to reach and climb. There's also a cafe inside for grownups to fuel up on some caffeine while their kids play.
Sippy Cups Cafe
We ended up purchasing a yearly membership to the museum because our toddler loved it so much! Love the rotating exhibits and it's perfect for little ones that can only be in one place for shorter periods of time.
Long Island Children's Museum
Took my almost two year old to this museum and she was obsessed! Everything was in perfect reach for her and I was comfortable letting her explore the different sections of the museum. She loved the little grocery store set up as well as the soft pla...
Children's Museum of the East End
My little fan spend hours here! One of the unique things about this play space is that they allow you to come in and out all day for one admission cost. I haven't come across any other play places that allow this yet. There's so much to do here from ...
Lil Steps Fun Zone
The nesting place offers a variety of classes for babies, toddlers and even parents! My little loves the themed toddler sensory classes. We've always had a blast there, and the staff is genuinely dedicated to helping further your child's development.
The Nesting Place
Check with your local library for discounted tickets! The touch tank and butterfly garden were huge hits with my toddler! We also love that there are both indoor and outdoor exhibits.
Long Island Aquarium
Love the huge, remodeled playground here! There are a lot of benches and picnic tables to eat lunch. There's also a nice trail with water views. Bring sunscreen because the playground is uncovered
Patriot's Preserve
Love the children's room at this library. There's a cute fish tank that my daughter is obsessed with. There's playroom is also well tucked in and newly remodeled. There's a wide variety of puzzles, games, and even a dollhouse.
Lindenhurst Memorial Library
The instructors here are amazing and the open play space is beautiful and clean! I love that they offer weekly themed classes for toddlers. The price for classes is reasonable and include open play time. The perfect place if you want your little to e...
Schoolhouse Play & Cafe
For $25, you have access to the entire open play space for the whole day! Not many open play spaces allow that. My 2 year old spent 2 full hours here. There's lots to offer like a play gym, ball pit, and soft play furniture.
Home - Southshore - GoPlayland
Genuinely can't believe that this place is free to go for kids! My little loves to visit all of the animals at this farm-it's a working farm in which you can walk the entire grounds. They also have play structures, musical instruments made out of nat...
Suffolk County Farm & Education Center
The cutest little studio in the heart of Lindenhurst Village. My little loves the Tiny Songbirds and sensory classes. The place is family-owned and affordable, and teachers are so understanding of toddler meltdowns haha
Birdhouse | Child & Family Wellness Classes in Lindenhurst, NY
Water Views
Tanner park is one of my favorite places for water views in Long Island without committing to going to the beach. I love that it has a full walking path that is stroller friendly that takes you all the way out to the water. There are also drinks and ...
Tanner Park
We love doing the argyle park/babylon farmer's market combo on a Sunday morning! The argyle park loop is the perfect amount of walking with our little in tow. She loves looking at the geese and ducks in the pond.
Argyle Lake Park
Vineyards
Love that this vineyard has a covered picnic area in the back! It's also family friendly! Highly recommend going on one of the guided wine tours.
Pindar Vineyards
Love the Spanish influence of this vineyard! I've been several times and was never disappointed. I did a wine tasting for Father's Day one year, and we were seated in the outdoor barn area. Our guide was amazing and knowledgeable, and the amount of f...
