Summer Adventures on Long Island: The Vanderbilt Museum, Centerport

My kids started asking to visit a planetarium and surprisingly there is only one on Long Island… and it’s at the

I haven’t been there since a 5th grade field trip, so I wasn’t sure what to expect but I was so surprised how much I and my kids loved it there!

It is absolutely stunning, with the most beautiful grounds and views 😍 There’s so much to explore, with different artifact exhibits, hiking trails, the mansion and of course, the planetarium.

Here’s my top tips if you plan a visit:
🎟️ Check to see if your library has a museum pass! Ours does and it got us free admission to the grounds and we just had to pay for the planetarium (buy your tickets in person, not online).
✨ When you get there, head to the planetarium first to check in/get tickets. You can’t go into any other exhibits without the wristbands.
🍽️ There is a cafe on sight, serving premade sandwiches & salads (which were actually really good!) and light snacks but I also recommend packing a lunch - there are multiple picnic tables spread around the property.
👟 Wear comfortable walking shoes.
🏠 Don’t skip anything - all of the exhibit halls are packed with cool artifacts. My kids favorites were the mummy, whale shark, and stingray (which were all in different areas).

We will definitely be back again to see more shows in the planetarium (check the website for the schedule!) and explore the hiking trails some more.

Chicka, Chicka Boom Boom. Will there be enough room? 🌴

Watermelon Ice Cream 🍉 🍦

So fun making ice cream at home with your kids! Watermelon ice cream is the perfect flavor for summer.

I recommend following the recipe by - so easy with only 4 ingredients. We added chocolate chips to give it a Friendly’s Wattamelon vibe (a classic!)

These ideas are one in a MELON! Check out the watermelon summer vibes that we put together! 🍉🍉🍉

Summer Adventures on Long Island: Ocean Beach, Fire Island 🌊 ☀️

If you live on Long Island, it’s basically a rule you must visit Fire Island at least once during the summer. One of my favorite places because it still holds on to the laidback summer beach vibe I crave in summer. And fun fact: my husband and I actually met on Fire Island at Flynn’s, 12 summers ago! 🤯

Times have changed since those “Sunday Funday” days, and we’re now taking the Bayshore ferry to Ocean Beach with our kids. With a good mix of town and beach, it’s the perfect spot to take kids.

Tips:
☀️ Be sure to bring a wagon to carry all of your belongings if heading to the beach ($15 charge on the ferry, but makes life so much easier).
☀️ Check out the playground - with areas of toddlers and older kids to play (Gated and conveniently located by the public bathrooms!)
☀️ Food on the beach isn’t permitted, but there’s so many great, kid friendly restaurants (We ate lunch at )
☀️ Ice cream for dinner is a must - We highly recommend 🍦
☀️ Most businesses take credit cards but recommend bringing cash to avoid high processing fees and for cash only places, like kids selling lemonade on the walkways! 💛

If you’ve been to Fire Island, share your favorite spot below! Always looking for new places to explore.

Summer adventures on Long Island: Fishing charter 🎣

The twins got my husband a fishing charter for Father’s Day & we just recently went and had the best day! Greyson is “hooked” (pun intended 😂) and can’t wait to go again.

Highly recommend - Family friendly, so helpful and knowledgeable. Goes out of Port Jeff so calmer Long Island Sound water (a must for us motion sickness people) and perfect location to return to if you want to spend the day in Port Jefferson.

My Hershey Faves 🍫 🍽️ 🥤

The food options at Hersheypark and Hershey Chocolate World are amazing. There is so much good food and obviously so many delicious chocolately treats! 🍫 😋

A meal at The Chocolatier is a must! It’s a sit restaurant right at the entrance of the park. Great sized kids meal portions and delicious food options with sweet touches, such as raspberry chocolate vinaigrette dressing for salads. They also have a super cute Ferris wheel appetizer sampler. 🎡

Ice cream at Milton’s (also near the entrance) is a MUST, especially on hot days. 🍦

Chocolate World has a food court at the back with amazing treat and meal options! I had to try the peanut butter milkshake and s’mores cold foam cold brew and neither disappointed. ☕️

I wish I had a bigger stomach to try some more goodies 😂

If you’ve been - What’s your favorite Hershey treat? I’ll add it to my list for next time!

Taste-Safe Treasure Hunt 🏴‍☠️

Dig for and count pirate treasure in a taste safe sensory bin! 🪏 Using graham cracker sand and M&Ms, little ones can dig for buried treasure and fill their treasure chests.

✨ For older kids, label the treasure chests with numbers so they can count as they fill their boxes.

Ahoy mateys and shiver me timbers! No one will be walking the plank around here with some really fun pirate themed ideas! 🏴‍☠️🦜
