Adventureland Long Island

A Long Island classic for families

Adventureland Long Island is a compact amusement park in Farmingdale, New York, on Broad Hollow Road / Route 110. Open since 1962, it has the feel of a local family tradition: easy to understand, quick to walk around and built around a mix of coasters, spinning rides, water rides, kiddie attractions, games and food stops.

What visitors come for

The park is especially useful for families who want a full amusement-park outing without the scale of a huge destination resort. Younger children can move between gentle rides, a train, small vehicles and play-style attractions, while older kids and adults can add stronger experiences such as FireBall, Turbulence Coaster, Musik Express, Frisbee or Wave Twister.

Adventureland also works well as a flexible day: you can alternate rides with the arcade, outdoor games, the stage area, the water rides and several snack or meal options. That variety makes it easier to adjust the visit around weather, energy levels and waiting times.

A visit to pace throughout the day

Because the park is relatively dense, it is practical to group nearby attractions together and keep pauses for food, drinks or shaded seating. Families with small children should check height rules before joining queues, while visitors looking for more movement can start with the thrill rides and return later to gentler classics like the Ferris Wheel, Merry Go Round or Antique Cars.

Why it stands out

The main appeal is its balance: Adventureland feels approachable, local and family-focused, but still offers recognizable coaster and thrill moments. For visitors staying on Long Island or near New York City, it can be a very convenient way to add a classic amusement-park day without planning a long trip.
