Summer is getting closer which means it’s time to start planning things to do this summer. Amusement parks are going to be open this summer but they may work a little differently because of Covid. You will have to get tickets online to go to an amusement park because there will be a limit.

Six Flags

Six Flags is a fun place to visit in the summer. There’s many fun rides to go on. The closest six flags from Lindenhurst is in New Jersey.

Guests who are fully vaccinated do not have to wear a mask while in the park. However if a fully vaccinated person wants to wear a mask on their visit, they can. All guests two and older who are not fully vaccinated must wear a mask during their visit unless they are eating or drinking.

 

Adventureland

Adventureland is one of the closest amusement parks near Lindenhurst. It’s location is in Farmingdale. Adventureland has three water rides and two roller coasters.

The train takes you around the whole park and you can see what rides you might like to go on. Adventureland also has kid rides for little ones who can’t go on the bigger rides. Some rides are the Alfie swings, tea cups, spinning cars, and the pirate island. At Adventureland you don’t just have to go on rides. You can go to the Arcade and win some tickets. After you’re done playing arcade games you can win a few prizes. Due to Covid, Adventureland is going to work differently this year. Everyone who wants to enter the park has to pay since Adventureland will have a limit. Before Covid you only had to pay for the people riding rides, but due to Covid everyone has to pay. Even if you weren’t planning on riding rides you still can ride rides since you paid. Guests over two will be required to wear a mask. When in the park everyone must social distance. Sanitizer Stations will be around the park. You must purchase your admission ticket online.
