Long Island Kids Summer Guide: 543 Best Festivals, Deals, Activities and Free Things To Do
Welcome to our Long Island Summer Guide! I’m Jody, Mommy Poppins' Metro Regional Editor and a mom of three kids. I've been at Mommy Poppins helping families find the best things to do for more than 10 years. And it's not just me; Mommy Poppins has a team of parents in the tri-state area and across the country who are out there every day checking out all the fun things to do with our own families so we can give you the inside scoop.
Our Long Island Summer Guide is the accumulation of our years of exploring all our favorite beach towns and swimming pools, museums, festivals, amusement and water parks, rainy day activities, and so much more!
