Get the kids ready for a day of fun and excitement in and around Freeport, NY. The city offers great kid-friendly activities for families to enjoy together. Take the kids on an unforgettable seal-watching eco-cruise, kayak on the bays and waterways, and fish in the Atlantic Ocean.
1. Enjoy a Day Kayaking with the Kids
Spend the day with your family paddling on the calm bays and discover the beautiful waterways around Freeport. Launch your kayak at Waterfront Park, paddle west to Baldwin Bay, and stop at “Wampum Island” to collect seashells.
You can also paddle the creeks south of the park to enjoy a tranquil experience in nature. Freeport Kayak rents single kayaks, tandem kayaks, and stand-up paddleboards. They will meet you at Waterfront Park with your kayak or paddleboard.
2. Go on a Seal Watching Cruise
Seals come to the South Shore bays from the late fall to the early spring to find a safe haven away from predators. During these months, they mate and give birth to cute little pups. Freeport Water Taxi and Tours offer a leisurely eco-tour on their 44-foot enclosed boat to Long Island’s South Shore to watch the harbor seals.
They can’t guarantee when the seals will be there, as they are a migratory species and move back north for the summer once their pups are big enough. Yet, looking for seals and enjoying the excursion on the boat will be an unforgettable adventure for the whole family.
3. Take the Kids on a Seafaring Fishing Adventure
There are many fishing charters on the Atlantic ocean. Four stand out above the rest when it comes to unforgettable seafaring adventures. Seal Cruise, Captian Pete Fishing Charters, Legacy Fishing Charters, and Captain Lou Fleet offer guided fishing trips along the local waterways, Great South Bay, and the Atlantic Ocean.
The trips range from short half-day excursions to nighttime tours. The excursions are guided by experienced and knowledgeable captains who know the sea and provide loads of information on marine life along the way.
4. Enjoy the Activities at The Freeport Recreation Center
The Freeport Recreation Center provides loads of activities, classes, events, and shows for the whole family. The center has an entire Health Wing that includes a fitness Cente equipped with machines, free weights, and benches, an indoor pool, a gymnasium, and a sauna. The outdoor Olympic-sized swimming pool has a diving tank, and there is a kiddie pool. The center also has an outdoor playground for the little ones and an ice skating rink.
5. Challenge Your Family to a Game of Mini-Golf
Crow’s Nest Cove is an 18-hole pirate-themed miniature golf course with ships, a waterfall, a cave, and life-sized pirates at every hole. It’s a great course for family fun with loads of innovative obstacles and twists and turns. The touch of pirate humor adds to the challenging entertainment and makes the game extra fun for the kids.
