What is there to do on Long Island for a 17 year old boy?|172430

I will be visiting Hicksville, Long Island over the holidays to see some family. I will be bringing my 17 year old son and wondering if there are any activities nearby to keep him occupied. He has already been to the city and i do not think that we will have free time to spend in the city.

Well, I am very glad you_re not going to the city because it is too dangerous for a boy of 17 and that never have been here before.
Concerning Long Island... Well, not much to do, but ahead of time plan to visit the fairy boats that would take you anywhere, and even a nice tour around Ellis Island, where the Statue of Liberty is at and around it New York City from one side and Brooklyn from the other... Nice rides...
Also there_s Adventureland which is a fun place with 52+ rides of all kinds.
For a small place as Long Island, there_s many museums, including the Dinosaur Museum which is very fun.
Performing Arts are always available with different performances...

-(If you let your son go to the city, let him go with you or with a responsible adult, okay? If you have someone to take him he_ll have the time of his life because there_s way too many things to do but: I cannot stress you enough to do so with a responsible adult if you cannot go.
I wish you the very best and have a most wonderful time.)-
