Fun? Sports? Long Island? Yes, there is such a thing on Long Island for those that like to take in…read morea family friendly spectator sport. The Long Island Roller Rebels fit the bill. I discovered this totally by accident one day when i went to Skate Safe America to look into booking a birthday party for one of my kids. Instead, i saw these ladies warming up for a match. I decided to hang out and watch with my 6 year old daughter, who is a novice at roller skating mind you and never actually skated outside of our back yard or driveway. We watched this roller derby thing with quite amusement at the level of intensity and enjoyment these ladies bring just making it so much fun. This is not like the fake stuff i saw on TV when i was young, this was the real deal. I gotta hand it to these ladies for putting themselves ouch, i mean, out there. Kids under 8 are free with an adult BTW.. bring chairs if you are over 18 and are sitting track side. If you go, you will not be let down. Also, bring cash for drinks and tickets. I am a fan.

A fabulous walk, indoor and out, with strobe lights and all the jump scares you could dream up. This place changes every year. A small food truck outside with treats, also takes Venmo bonus factor. They also had someone available outside to take pictures for you for free. *NO cameras inside for obvious reasons. They also timed it beautifully that people weren't gaining up on each other.

Mather, now houses antiques from the 1800s like old ships and paintings, hats and fabrics, toys and furniture. There's also an old lock exhibit, and other small exhibits on the property as well.

This is a great place for students and staff and community and it is something to be proud of for Stony Brook university. It stands out as a landmark for centuries to come. IM Pei is the architect and it's an eternal work of art.

Great place for photography Reasons not to go to the Wang Center: NONE I have been to a series of events in this gorgeous building incluidng my white coat ceremony for the Dental School and some photography events that I have attended. I often study in this building as well due to the vast space they have and the fact that it is normally quiet and not too busy. Recently the art exhibit was changed and now there are 2 interactive rooms that are available to take pictures at. The entire display is gorgeous and fun to look at, despite some of their quirkiness. If anyone likes pop up shops definitely visit the newest exhibit and take some photos! Take a walk around the building and enjoy the FREE show.

If you don't know the story of Michael Murphy, it's worth looking up and visiting the museum as well. You check in to buy tickets right when you get inside. The young lady behind the counter offered to give us a a brief description of the museum is all about. She did a great job. There's a small gift shop as well. The museum starts at the very beginning and the origin of the TEAMs and takes you thru each evolution and era and what they are today. Theres also a section dedicated to the story of Mr Murphy. His Medal of Honor is also on display . The most humbling part was the wall of deceased SEALs.
