There are so many plants, flowers, and a beautiful greenhouse. Everything outdoors was stunning, and despite the heat, it was a wonderful day to spend outside. The kids had a great time, and the parents acting as chaperones enjoyed the nature as well, we were able to hear the birds, smell the flowers, and take beautiful pictures. Everything was great from that perspective. However, when we took the tour inside the castle, things took a turn. There is no AC inside, and it was a very hot day. You can imagine having a large group of kids inside a stuffy museum after they had already been out in the sun! They had a scavenger hunt set up for the kids, yet when the kids actually found the items, the staff very angrily told them they weren't allowed to touch anything. It makes no sense to host a scavenger hunt for children if they aren't allowed to interact with the items. In every single room we entered, they were just barking orders: 'Don't touch, don't lean, don't do this, don't do that.' It was incredibly frustrating, especially given the heat. To make matters worse, one of the girls working with the tour guide kept complaining out loud, saying, 'Oh my God, oh my God, these kids.' It was very unprofessional. Vine a este lugar como acompañante en una excursión escolar. Tengo que empezar diciendo que todo el terreno exterior es más que increíble. Hay muchísimas plantas, flores y un invernadero hermoso. Todo afuera es espectacular y, a pesar del calor, fue un día muy bonito para pasarlo al aire libre. Los niños se lo pasaron genial y los padres que íbamos como chaperones también disfrutamos de la naturaleza; pudimos escuchar las aves, oler las flores y tomar fotos preciosas. Todo estuvo excelente desde esa perspectiva. Sin embargo, cuando hicimos el recorrido dentro del castillo, la situación cambió por completo. No hay aire acondicionado adentro y hacía mucho calor. ¡Imagínense tener a tantos niños dentro de un museo caluroso después de haber estado bajo el sol! Tenían una búsqueda del tesoro (scavenger hunt) para los niños, pero cuando ellos encontraban los objetos, el personal les decía de forma muy molesta y agresiva que no tenían permitido tocarlos. No tiene sentido organizar una búsqueda del tesoro para niños si no pueden interactuar con los objetos. En cada habitación a la que entrábamos, solo nos decían: 'No toquen, no se apoyen, no hagan esto, no hagan aquello'. Fue muy frustrante, especialmente por el calor. Para colmo, una de las muchachas que estaba con el guía no dejaba de quejarse diciendo: 'Ay Dios mío, ay Dios mío, estos niños'. Fue muy poco profesional.

Real nice place and beautiful setting. Comfortable chairs and clean and nice bathrooms. One thing…read moreI don't like abt this place is that some (not all) of the workers talk very very loudly with other workers. Way above normal conversational voice. You are working at a library!! This person walked in and started talking (more like screaming to me) like she was making a presentation to a crowd. Small conversations or stepping outside for a chat would be a nice, logical normal thing to do. Not to mention polite thing to do.

Seriously? This library is the t!ts. Yep, I said it. About a library, no less…read more Currently, I'm rocking some fast wifi, plugged into a nice lamp outlet (on every table) and watching the sunset over Cold Spring Harbor. What?! Aren't libraries supposed to be damp, dusty dungeons? Not when you're dropping CSH taxes :D. Besides this room there are small meeting rooms, tutor rooms, a children's center, a porch with chairs, plenty of computers to use, and a main room that looks like an awesome lodge. There are some fatty leather chairs around this place that I would take home and put in my house. The dvd selection is large, you can download e-books to your tablet and rumor is there are some books somewhere around here. No joke, this is the best library I have ever seen. Take a second to enjoy the quiet and the view here anytime you can.

These double-headed stocks (see pic) are known to both snobbish locals (who see having the pillories only as a status symbol, pretending to be above the lowbrow vibe and fun entertainment factor here), and bottomfeeder, low level criminals, and drunks (who have found themselves in an uncomfortable position of humiliation and reprimand). Passers-by to this post are rare, and the possibility of a crowd gathering here is completely unfathomable: One who is bound here will likely be sobering up the better part of the night in a penance of solitude. . .

To get there by roads, you must pass through Asharoken, a locals-only kinda town, known for its radar detectors and speed trap-police force. I'll just say it makes for a nice bike ride. To see the lighthouse over the Sound, look just west of the four LILCO towers (It has a fixed Fresnel lens that doesn't blink or rotate). There is also an active Coast Guard station on-site here which, though closed to the public, can be arranged for groups and private tours. Former Northport resident Hans Gabali painted a depiction of this lighthouse, which can be viewed here (http://www.yelp.com/biz/moriches-gateway-real-estate-moriches#hrid:wvKIjxcuCrdPCMPB-6PfIg).

The beach is beautiful, (any/every season) the boardwalk hike (from Parking Lot 5) is VERY easy and scenic (look for deer!!) and the view from the top of this historic lighthouse is priceless!! There's a lighthouse museum next door to the lighthouse itself, which is worth a visit (very friendly/informative info/volunteers) but if you're in a rush (esp. toward the end of the day/sunset) head right over the lighthouse itself and get tickets for that climb/money shot!! If I'm able to do the climb with only minimal huffing and puffing (!!) you should be able to as well, and the AMAZING 365 degree view you'll find will be more than worth the "struggle!!" DO IT, L.I.!!!

There are tables near the computers where you can do some work and a few places to sit within the book stacks. The staff is friendly and helpful as they know most of the patrons by name. The crown jewel of this library is downstairs - the children's department is excellent. From babies to teens they have a great collection of books and an awesome toy area for the younger kids. The children's librarians are excellent and they run a ton of different programs for all age groups. I give the basic library 3 stars and the children's library 5 stars for a 4 star average. If you want a great library to bring your kids then Seaford is for you!
