Top Winter Stops in These Long Island Towns | Laffey Real Estate

Is cabin fever setting in? Long Island's charming towns offer several great sights and activities worth getting out for. Check out these favorite destinations of our real estate agents.

  • Andrew Stergiopoulos Ice Rink - 65 Arrandale Ave., Great Neck, NY 11024
    Tired of being stuck in the gym? Get a brisk workout along with a healthy dose of fun at the Andrew Stergiopoulos Ice Rink, right down the street from Great Neck homes for sale. Several public skating sessions are held seven days a week, while the professionally staffed skating school offers private, semi-private, and group lessons. Budding Alex Ovechkins can participate in travel hockey, recreational hockey, and hockey clinics. When you need a break, relax in the heated lounge with a fireplace and snack bar. Visit the website for schedules and pricing.

  • Cedarmere - 225 Bryant Ave., Roslyn, NY 11576
    Gain fascinating insights about mid-19th-century life around Roslyn homes for sale when you tour Cedarmere, named for the trees lining the onsite pond. This stunning seven-acre property, one-time home of noted poet and civic leader William Cullen Bryant, features a 3.5-story home with a boathouse and pond, greenhouse, and beautifully landscaped grounds. Alongside the pond sits a Gothic Revival-style mill believed to be the only structure of its kind built as a partial residence. Tours are available by appointment on Thursday afternoons and Saturday mornings with a donation fee of $15 per person.

  • Port Washington Skating Center - 70 Seaview Bldg., Port Washington, NY 11050
    Did you know that year-round ice skating can be found just minutes from Port Washington homes for sale? Start the new year with a family outing to Port Washington Skating Center. In addition to public skating five days a week, activities at the rink include skating lessons as well as hockey lessons, clinics, and leagues. Have an upcoming birthday in the family? The rink provides a unique venue for parties. Attendance at public skating sessions is limited, so advance ticket purchase is required. Visit the website for schedules and pricing.

  • Sagamore Hill National Historic Site - 20 Sagamore Hill Road, Oyster Bay, NY 11771
    Summer home of the 26th president of the United States, Sagamore Hill National Historic Site is a tribute to Theodore Roosevelt. Near these Oyster Bay homes for sale, the site includes 83 acres and features a tidal salt marsh, bay beach, and Roosevelt's 23-room, Victorian-style "Summer White House." Explore the grounds and be sure to schedule a tour of the home, which still includes the original furnishings. Tickets are available Thursday through Sunday and cost $15 for adults and $1 for children.

  • Hicks Nurseries - 100 Jericho Turnpike, Westbury, NY 11590
    Escape the cold with a visit to Hicks Nurseries, one of the biggest garden centers on Long Island. From houseplants to patio furniture to garden accents, this local destination has everything you need to improve your Long Island home. Until you can add spring flowers, consider choosing a houseplant. They carry air-purifying plants like Dracaena Lemon Lime, Fiddle leaf Fig, and Bromeliad Fasciata, as well as easy-care plants for those who lack a green thumb. Choose from Philodendron Monsteras, Snake Plants, Arrowhead Plants, and many more. Be sure to stop by these Westbury homes for sale after you make your purchases.
