Westchester County, New York – Fun Things to Do With Your Kids

Living in the Purchase, NY area we have no doubt that Playland has crossed your mind as a fun way to spend the day with your kids.  We’re here to tell you that just because it’s a common idea, doesn’t mean it’s a bad one. We’d argue that it’s a trip you should absolutely make at least once. 

We love making the trip to Playland Amusement Park because it offers Westchester County locals a little bit of everything.  You have major rides, kid-friendly options, bumper cars, and some classic amusement park food options. 

This is the kind of trip that doesn’t happen often, but it’s one that you and your kids won’t soon forget. 

You can explore their website to see some of the things they offer at the park, review the digital map and you can watch their live stream to see what’s going on that day!
