Lions, Tigers And Bears - And Eagles And Goats!

I always forget about The Brookhaven Ecology Site in Holtsville. It is a great place to bring the kids - all year long and it is free!!! There is a big playground, an exercise track where kids can ride their bikes and roller blades.

The best part
is the animal preserve. It is the place to go - the kids will be amazed! They have the usual - goats, horses and pigs. Then there are animals that have been rescued and are now living there - bears, eagles and a lion.

The Ecology Site also has picnic tables and greenhouses. There is no charge for any of this. They have a pool, but I am not sure if there is a charge for it because I have never used it. If you kids are driving you crazy in the summer or winter - take them to The Brookhaven Ecology Site for a fun day!
