Bridgeport and Port Jefferson Steamboat Company

Reviewed By Frederick H

Okay, I get it. If you want to get to CT from middle Long Island, then this is the way to go. The Orient Point Ferry takes you to New London, which is much further North and Bridgeport.
And I guess you could award it "Excellence" because it always stays on top of the water. But, the ferries are dated inside, uncomfortable seats, smelly rest rooms, VERY unhealthy food, liquor, wine and beer (not the best idea for people who are driving)and the worse part NO INTERNET. I mean, come on, how hard would it be to provide WiFi on these boats? So, Yeah, I will continue to use it because I have no choice. And perhaps the issues I described above will remain because the Steamboat Company knows there is no competition. So why bother?

I loved it very cleaned and respectful people that come visit this beach and with a convenient store that sells cooked food and the restroom and shower and parking all there close by the beach. My kids loved it.

At BounceU Smithtown, we particularly do birthday parties and we also have Open Bounce for families and friends to come in and bounce. They are all scheduled times and it is 12.95$ a child for 1hour and 30 minutes.

The kids love it here. I think it isn't worth the price of admission for the short period of time the kids get to play. However, they are supervised. Some of the staff are better than others. It depends upon the day. It annoys me that we have to sit through a safety video every time we go there and that time is taken from the play time.
Another thing is that there are vending machines and I just can't stand the up sell.
The kids love it!!!!

I brought my spouse here for his birthday, for the Sunday brunch, knowing it was catered by Filamena Lombardi, who does a fine farm to table business. We were not disappointed with the food--it was a beautiful spread, with everything we wish for in a buffet, including omelets made to order. Wonderful! Worth the steep price, as it also included unlimited mimosas. However, although we are energetic and non-disabled seniors, the seats were unbelievably unsafe for us. They are slippery narrow wood, concave, and have no backs. OK for a drink, but for a meal? And talking about alcohol and these seats, I can see an accident happening to anyone. I sent a note to the manager, and received no response at all, which makes me wonder how they feel about their business and customers, especially if they want us to return. If they replace the chairs we'll return in the blink of an eye.

St. James General Store

Reviewed By Brian L

Billed as maybe the oldest continuously run country store in the US, this was an interesting place to visit. Much like Kelly's Country Store on Grand Island, NY, this place is filled with lots of penny-candy, souvenirs, interesting toys, Christmas decorations, and more...some old-fashioned things (as a good Country Store should have in stock) and many new novelties. A nice place for a leisurely visit.

An Escape Room is a live action game starring you and a group of people. You will work together as a team to look for clues, solve puzzles, and complete challenges in order to accomplish the room's mission in under 60 minutes.

Reviewed By truthintravel60763 - New York City, New York

This was like a first date. You don't know what to expect. The clues were obscure but by the time we got the hang of it the clock ran out. We went with a big crowd and the room was small so we were elbowing each other the entire time. We did have fun and it took a lot of ingenuity as we started to roll and got though the letter locks and a number lock. Good thing I was tall enough to reach the top lock. I think the second time around it would be a four. Note that for those with phobias. There is a door you can leave through if you don't like it. The staff was extremely friendly and able to give you up to three clues. Go. Get frustrated and maybe have a glass of wine just before you go. No drinks or food served there. Then check it off your bucket list.

Pond Path Park

Reviewed By gostartraveler - Forked River, New Jersey

One of the ages 5 and older play area is newer. Otherwise, the rest of the playground equipment is in sad shape - the bubbles can no longer be seen through, and in one instance, rust and wear had caused part of a metal surface to break and be exposed. Separate parking area is nice. Too bad they didn't keep up with maintaining the rest of the playground.
