Thank you for hosting us, Adventureland!
Adventureland is located in Farmingdale, NY, right across from SUNY. My kids are 3, 5, 11, and 13, and I loved that there were rides and games for all of us to enjoy as a family. Looking at the park online, I wondered if Adventureland would be the “Rye Playland” of Long Island. But there is a uniqueness about this gem that makes the trip well worth it. The parking is free, and you do not have to pay to enter the park; you only pay to ride. No food is allowed in the park. However, you can bring water bottles. There is also water for sale and a water fountain located in the arcade.
The layout and the live music made it feel very intimate. There’s an abundance of misting fans, umbrellas, canopies, and even trees that get you out of the sun when needed. My son’s favorite was the serve-your-own frozen ice. We bought him the refillable cup, and he would refill it anytime we passed the station. The staff was great, and the bathrooms were spotless. We played games, went on the bumper cars, ate a late lunch, pretzels, Dippin Dots, and ice pops — It was a great day. The park lit up beautifully as the sun set, and we stayed until 10 pm, 30 minutes before closing, thoroughly exhausted.
