Splish Splash
Cool down on a hot mid-summer day at the one and only splish splash! 20 waterslides + 2 wave pools + a water coaster + a lazy river that wraps around it all = endless fun in the sun. Make the most of summer and enjoy the rides, surf the waves, and relax on a winding river. Don't forget your sunscreen!

Shoot Em' Up
Take out your agression on some skeet at the suffolk county range. Lessons are available for beginners, as well as rifle rentals and ammo. Take a few friends and make a competition out of the sporting clay course. With plenty of shade and golf carts available for easy transport, this day can be as rugged as you want it to be. So take aim and pull. *Must be accompanied by an adult if under 18*

Nautical Mile
It isn't summer until you cruise the Nautical Mile. Take a stroll towards the bay and check out menus from over a dozen restaurants along the way (most places offer outdoor seating on the water). Or stop in any of the cute beachy shops for ocean themed nic-nacs. Grab an italian ice or ice cream cone to cool yourself down during the day or hit the bars at night to heat things up! Expect live music or DJs once the sun sets and the party starts. Some things to check out: Silver by the Sea shop has unique hand made jewelery, Tropix's resort atmosphere including a beach & fire pit, and Bracco's dock and delicious lobster bisque, just to name a few!

Island Life
Bored of the mainland? Take the Ferry over to Fire Island and stop by Flynn's. Go friday for ladies night or Saturday for live bands/DJs. Or try Sunday, where happy hour starts at noon and a reggae band plays all day long. Participate in fun contests and win prizes (every friday a trip to vegas is up for grabs). If you get hungry, the menu is impressive and late night grub is available. Enjoy the island life, Long Island's staple stay-cation never fails =)
