Come Visit Long Island Game Farm Before October 12!
Long Island Game Farm is announcing that visitors are
welcome to visit the 25-acre game farm until Columbus Day, or October 12 -
the last day of the season for Long Island Game Farm.
Long Island Game Farm is the ideal destination for those who want to stop
somewhere for some family-friendly entertainment while traveling to or
coming from the East End of Long Island during the autumn season. Adults
and children alike can see hundreds of animals, including an 18-foot
giraffe, red kangaroos, kinkajous, cougars, Barbados sheep, peacocks and the
only lemurs born and bred on Long Island. The Long Island Game Farm also
has various breeds of monkeys, buffalo, colorful parrots, zebras, aoudads,
camels, ostrich, alligators and much more.
Visitors can also explore nature trails that lead to places such as
"Bambiland," "The Nursery" and "Old McDonald's Farmyard." They can also
pet, cuddle and - unlike most zoos - feed the baby animals such as pigs,
chickens, ducks, rabbits and ponies.
For the children, there are carnival-style rides such as the Spinning
Teacups, Rio Grande Mini Train and the Antique Carousel. Pony rides are
also available on weekends during the off-season. In addition, children can
watch shows and animal activities that are offered every day.
Off-season rates are currently available. Tickets are $13.95 for senior
citizens and children ages 3-11. Adults are $15.95. Handicapped persons
are $9.95. Ticket prices do not include tax. Children under the age of 3
are free. The ticket price includes rides, shows and attractions. Carousel
and pony rides are extra. Group rates are also available at $8.95 per
person for 15 or more people, with advance reservation.
