Don't let the weather keep you home! There's plenty to do on Long Island this winter with the kids, from museums and theater, to new classes and indoor play spaces, and of course winter sports like sledding and skiing.
Discover all the best things to do with Long Island kids this winter, with Mommy Poppins' guide to winter fun for Long Island families - from outdoor ice skating and snow tubing to indoor play spots and much more.
We give you the scoop on the best things to do and places to go this winter. Start with our bucket list of the top 50 things to do indoors on Long Island with kids for some great inspiration on cosy family winter fun.
Whether or not there's snow about, get out into the fresh air with one of our recommended winter walks for Long Island kids. And if you do get some fresh snow, we have plenty of recommendations on where to go sledding on Long Island, the best cross-country skiing spots for kids, and fun games and things to do in the snow beyond sledding.
If you're looking for a quick break over the winter, we have some great ideas on winter family getaways from Long Island, too. We break down some great water parks in the NYC area, cheap getaways over winter, and more.
