5 Things to Do with Kids this April in and Around Huntington Township

April on Long Island is one of those blink-and-you-miss-it moments. The weather finally shifts, everything starts blooming… and suddenly there are these very specific, very short-lived experiences that only exist for a few weeks.

If you have kids, this is your window.

Here are 5 time-sensitive, April-only activities in and around Huntington Township that are 100% worth planning around:

1. Tulip Festival at Waterdrinker Family Farm & Garden

 

📅 Dates: April 20 – May 3, 2026 (peak April bloom)
🕒 Hours: Typically ~9am–6pm daily (weather dependent)

This is your anchor April event. Plan around it.

Important nuance:
Tulips are expected to start blooming mid-April (~April 15) and last ~4 weeks depending on weather

• Early April = not ready
• Late April = PRIME
• Early May = risky

2. Tulips + Spring Activities at Heritage Farm & Garden

📅 Dates: April 14 - 18
🕒 Hours: 1p - 3p

Photos with the Easter Bunny, Spring themed crafts, Children's story time, Color your own gardening apron, Sand art, Color your own pinwheel 

3. “Egg Hunt in the Trees” at The Adventure Park

📅 Dates:

• March 27, 28, 29, 2026
• April 2, 2026

🕒 Times: Time slots vary by booking (typically afternoon/evening sessions)

Ages: 7+

This event is very limited dates → sells out fast → people miss it every year

4. Various Workshops at The Whaling Museum

📅 Dates: Select weekends in April (rotating workshop schedule)

🕒 Time: Typically late morning / early afternoon sessions (~11am–2pm range)

Sea Bunnies, Recycled Ocean Crafts, Axolotl Adventures

These workshops change slightly year to year, so this is one you check week-of and grab tickets.

5. Spring Opening Weekends at Adventureland

📅 Dates: Weekends throughout April
🕒 Hours: Typically ~11am–6pm (varies by weekend)

April is the only time you can do Adventureland without summer-level crowds.

April on Long Island isn’t about doing more—it’s about doing the right things at the right time.

These are the kinds of experiences that:

• Only exist for a few weeks
• Most people hear about too late
• And quietly become core childhood memories

Miss April… and you’re waiting another year.
