I'm assuming this is LI so here are some outside options:

Local Fire Department to go see the trucks and talk to the firemen
Chuck E Cheese
Atlantis Marineworld
Long Island Children's museum
Skating Rink
Long Island Puppet Theatre - Feb 21.www.lipuppet.com


If it snows, a day of sleigh riding would be key for a 3 year old. My son loved it but you would need some help with the baby & 3 year old.

I would suggest all of these also...and I think that there is a place off of exit 64 on the LIE called Bull Winkles....(i may be completly wrong on the name) but I think the place is for small children as well

I think it's now called Boomers! They ran into trademark problems with the name and image of Bullwinkle

Thanks, these are some great ideas!

Luckily I will have my mom with me the whole time to help with the baby.

What kind of things do they have at the childrens museum?
