Poepl--IF you have a car I strongly URGE you to go APPLE PICKING!!!!
Apple picking season is in full swing... I do NOT live in New York any more but I kNOW there are apple picking orchards not too far from MANHATTAN because I used to take my kindergarten kids on field trips there. This is a wonderful experience for the whole family and you can make some yummy stuff for the second days of Yom Tov... Google applie picking NYC...

| what do your children do by apple picking? do they not get bored after 10 minutes? I never tried it and I am trying to figure out what there is to so there that it is worth a long trip.

ANY picking is SO fun for kids. Try to go to an orchard/farm that has lots of veggies/fruits to pick. The kids get a bag/basket and get to run around and choose their fruits. Some have hay rides and/or corn mazes. There are quite a few within an hour's drive from Monsey and most of them are awesome.

re: snug harbor, anything to do besides for childrens museum?
I suggested apple or vegetable picking to my kids and you should have heard the comments....my oldest is 12 and they want something more exciting

Well, it's only shayach today as it seems there's gonna be rain tomorrow and Tuesday. One year we went to lee turkey farm, which was fun. I think googling your zip and apple picking or pumpkin patches should give you results. I'm sorry I don't remember the names of the other orchards.
