This has been such a brutal winter on Long Island that it has made it necessary to find appropriate indoor activities for not only ourselves but our grandchildren Jackson and Sloane. Luckily, there are some very fine venues here, particularly the Children's Museums which we have frequently visited on the Eastern End of Suffolk County as well as the Long Island Children's Museum located in Garden City. Garden City is more of a trip for us but this only makes the LICM more of a treat. Jackson and Sloane really loved the museum and its energy. The section of the museum where you can climb up toward the museum's ceiling (with the reasuuring safety of serious webbing and netting) struck the perfect balance of being challenging while also being satisfyingly safe. The Saturday we went was a grim day weatherwise which made us appreciate the opportunity to have our grandchildren play all the more satisfying.
