Halloween fun! I was skeptical when my wife booked this and really didnt know what to expect but it turned out to be really cool outdoor Halloween fun. Its about a mile walk through the grounds of Old Bethpage Restoration. Relocated historical houses from around Long Island brought here for display. The rub here is that the entire path and houses are decorated with Halloween decorations and lighting making for a cool experience. Little pricey but in the end memorable.
Would have been nice to know that they need a print out of a supposed pass which says almost nothing. The place was dead , not a single soul but we with kids couldn’t go in because we didn’t print the pass. The pass says this is a pass for 4 people. No wonder places like that lose value year after year.
The displays were really cool especially the haunted lighthouse and eerie pumpkin carousel, but unfortunately this was all overshadowed by the fact that there was zero social distancing by the time you got to about the second pumpkin display. I wouldnt even blame the people, it was moreso just the linear setup and it was way too crowded for that space, and people were almost bumping into each other, let alone being 6 feet apart. We wound up in the overflow parking lot, so I really dont see how it couldve been reduced by 67% capacity. If youre looking for something safe to do during the pandemic, unfortunately this isnt it. I think this event wouldve been great if they had reduced crowd capacity further or even just increased the space.
Blaze at Old Bethpage was a GREAT experience. The layout is a wonderful stroll on a gravel pathway. Plenty of space and smaller crowd to help with Covid19 precautions. The artwork is awesome. From typical Jack O Lanterns to 20 ft tall Statues of Lady Liberty, Dinosaurs, spiderweb and more. Super cool for all ages. Its a wonderful display of creativity with PUMPKINS. I do miss the concession stands and gift shop; I wanted apple cider donuts and beer. Happy Harvest!
Wonderful place to visit and time travel. Would visit again!Tip: if your a LI resident, the library gives free museum passes so you can come here for FREE!
What a fantastic display! This is an incredible event that is enjoyable alone or with a group. It is a self guided walking tour of not only CJack OLanterns but pop culture AND Long Island history, something for everyone. Its not only pumpkins but lights, fog machines and music to produce r an atmosphere that is holiday appropriate but not scary, so small children can appreciate too. Long Island used to be full of fall/harvest festivals, pumpkins. Farms, hay rides, corn mazes and hauntedhouse attractions in almost every town, so with all those things going away (mostly due to law suits and high insurance rate) its nice to see these events occurring. Go,you wont be disappointed.
Beautiful grounds to have lots of activities. My first time attending the Pumpkin Blaze and it was so much fun! You must visit Old Bethpage Village Restoration if you have never been!
The Great Jack OLantern Blaze was great, first time in Long Island. Lots of free parking, restrooms on site. No food or drinks are available so bringa snack for the kids. Took us about 45 minutes to walk the whole thing with our kids. There is lots of room to maintain COVID precautions. It is a little dark after sunset but thats part of the magic - thousands of pumpkins lights and sounds. Walking the one way route is easy, I think strollers shouldnt have an issue. Tickets must be pre-ordered - we had a great time worth the ride and every penny!
Living history museums fascinate me if theyre done well. We had just over an hour to explore because we arrived so late, but I think we all learned so much about Long Island history by talking to the many historians working at the site. I definitely need to come back to give myself more time to explore, and the freedom to keep talking to the historians if the conversation is flowing.
I went with my son on his class trip, and I loved it. What a great place to go with your family and learn some history.
Old Bethpage Village Restoration is a hidden gem on Long Island. There are about 10 different buildings from the 19th century, as well as a farm and old time base ball field. The staff and volunteers are great at describing each building and really making the history come alive. For example, some will sing, or play an instrument from the period. Its a great way to step back in time and away from the hustle and bustle of life today on Long Island. It is now open Friday through Sunday for the 2022 season.
This is a wonderfully run program! We visited on a gorgeous Sunday afternoon. We ended up spending 4 hours, but my 9 year old has said that the next time we need to arrive earlier. The staff was amazing. Incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. The tradespeople they have working there are talented and excellent at sharing their skills. The grounds are well laid out. The buildings are spaced out but there are lots of places to sit and rest as needed. Well definitely go back when were next in town.
So many buildings. The staff was great, they even gave us a ride back on a golf cart. Word of warning...if a giant black goat named Lucifer is out, keep your distance. He rared up six foot and butted at me. Hes the alpha of the group lol.
Sadly my significant other and I drove from NJ with our 10 month old, and my 12 & 13 year old today, 12/21/21 only to find the event canceled sign out on the front of the main road…. I had called 2 weeks ago to confirm… called earlier in the day but didn’t get a response… figured they’d end this first run with a bang… I had come here before and loved it. If there was an update, I didn’t see it on website…I was planning on buying tickets at the door. Took off from work, drove 1.5 + hours in from NJ to try and catch the event… hope all is well… feel like I had all my eggs in one basket for the day… money is not the issue… wish I had saved the time off for a different day… I get very few days off this time of year.😕
Yes, it’s all about pumpkins! The walk was easy and quite delightful.
Hosting Long Island Blaze, this plot of land was spectacular. It allowed for an amazing night of glowing pumpkin art.
Wonderful experience to see the old American village.
Nice for the kids, I wish it was a little more scary, especially for the adults
Its just fine. Nothing extraordinary or no wow factor. Perhaps this place is good for kids only and not really for adults. The price is fine for kids who would really appreciate the lights but for someone like me whod been to so many places, then this place is like ahhh, its fine. They have portable toilet. The walk is not long. Theres no ride inside. No food or beverage for sale. I wish they have coffee for the cold weather. If you love lights then this place is a good place to visit. If you love something creepy then this place is not for you. No fear factor at all.
Old Bethpage Village Restoration has several structures that are preserved from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. In most buildings, there is a period- dressed person who will tell you about the history of the structure, when and where it is from, who lived or worked there, and what it was like back then. Upon entering the visitors center, visitors are provided with maps and can guide themselves from structure to structure. Most of the structures are houses, but there are also stores, an inn, a hatter, schoolhouse, blacksmith, and farm. One time I visited, the hatter was in and making hats, while during my most recent visit (a trip for my 4 th grade students), we were treated with a demonstration given by the blacksmith. It was fascinating. Old Bethpage Village Restoration also has an events calendar which is worth checking out.
We had a great time at old bethpage restoration and when waiting for our taxi a gentleman named Mat waited with us for 90 min as we waited for our taxi telling us all about the events at old bethpage restoration WE WAS SO HELPFUL
I liked the place a lot so much to see and learn about a time when work was much harder but a lot less complicated, I went in Autumn and it was a very beautiful day. Children will love seeing how Children used to learn on a slate tablet, there are also horses in the village with a farm it’s been awhile since I been here and I would go again there are plenty of subjects to photograph.
Ive been coming here since I was a brownie/girl scout and it never disappoints, unless its raining
Beautiful place with old houses brought to this open air museum from allover Long Island. It wasnt busy at all on a lovely weekend in early October. Very recommended, not expensive, and next to the Long Island Blaze show ($$$ and requires reservation in advance) and a military armor vehicle museum that looks promising too.
Great place to see how things were done and managed in earlier time. Houses restored there are great.
The whole Village is absolutely amazing. A pretty cool place to learned history about lives from 18th century. We love every houses, stores, barns and everything in the village. Everyone in the museums are very accommodating. I have to wear sneakers or comfortable shoes next time. Its a good walk. We will surely come back again and recommend this to all our friends and family.
They did a really goog gob restoring allot of old houses, very nice
The best historical village I ever been to great staff a must see
Pumpkin Blaze is a nice experience for the kids without being too scary.
Very Interesting very informative about long island history almost like a step back in time.
Went to see the Tank Museum on the grounds of old Bethpage Village. They have a new replica tank that cleared customs. Lots of information and going for the optional half track ride is incredible.
Fun, educational, and very friendly people. A great trip of youre into 18th and 19th century American history. The animals were also fun to look at.My wife and I took a day trip from the city and it was a great affordable way to spend a Saturday.
Good place to learn history of Long Island. You will meet cute animals in villages farm. We find a old fashion safe box 📦 in general store, and the staff tell secret knowledge about it. It’s super cool 😎
The Pumpkin Blaze was a beautiful and well thought out carving display. A visual treat for the Halloween lovers on Long Island.
Incredible visit into our Historic past here on Long Island. Certainly a must visit.
Awesome place. Very interesting to see a little bit of history right on long island. Check out the armor Justin too.
The volunteers are very friendly and informative. Unfortunately not all of the buildings were open when we went today, and the upper levels in the houses are still closed off. On a positive note, the LI Fair will be held this year and the special events at Thanksgiving and Christmas are scheduled to take place.
The set up was really organized and well thought out with an explanation of almost all of the display. They limited the number of tickets to allow for social distancing but it was really up to the people to social distance. I thought there should have assigned people on different parts of the route to vocally remind guests to social distance and to have better control.I was a bit disappointed that majority of the displays where carved from plastic pumpkins. The Blaze exhibit Upstate for me seemed all real pumpkins and was 1/2 the ticket price. Make sure you bring your own warm drink or snack after because there was no place to buy a warm cider or coffee like the one Upstate.
This PLACE IS AMAZING! They teach you a lot about this place. I loved how nice they were and how they made the place so interesting. We explored the old school where the children of back then used to use. The place was really pretty! If you like historical sites then this is where you should go!
Went to the Pumpkin Blaze. It was a pleasant time. Too expensive though for a half hour walk. Had to spend most of our time dodging selfie crazed, non socially distant, suburban, packs of young adults. Not all of the displays were actual pumpkins. The sound and lighting were excellent. The hand carved pumpkins that WERE on display were fantastic. The larger things made out of pumpkins were disappointing.
Went to the tank parade here with my family, it was most awesome. From where I was seated, the area was quaint and lovely. Didnt really explore the site, went straight to tank museum after the parade.
So many buildings closed. Also no bathrooms around the park, only in the main entrance building. More signs needed even though they give you a map. The schoolhouse was enjoyed by my 9 year old granddaughter and her friend.
This event was a really great experience but the only issue I have is the price its not really worth the money paid in my opinion I think the price should be a little lower for a 20 to 30 minute walk.
Very well informed interesting staff / docents to tell you about the crafts and the times. Very open to questions and very prepared. ( do engage and ask questions if you want to get the most out of your visit ) Extremely educational.A nice setting for a walk.They are really doing a good job enforcing safety while operating during the pandemic. You MUST wear your mask even outdoors. They watch for and call out violations. Good job.
I would give a zero if I could. We get there and they won’t accept cash or credit you have to buy your tickets in advance, because of Covid of course. Then they don’t do a military discount well only for active duty so if you’ve been in two months you’re good but if you’ve served your country for 30 years and are retired too bad. Then she says they’re private property we have to wear masks and I said yes any building we go into we will put them on and she said no as soon as you’re on the property even if you’re walking outdoors away from anybody they want a mask. Sorry want to enjoy our fresh air so we left and went to a park.
Very disappointed. I haven’t been here in over 30 years. I remember they had people in customs walking about and even a horse and buggy riding through the town. It made you feel like you were back in the old days, but now all they had was. One person per house slightly dress up and rude. 4 out of 7 of the workers we spoke to looked angry and like they didn’t want to be there. Spoke to us like they didn’t want to be bothered. Will not bring my other grandkids here. Glad that the kids enjoyed the farm and the old furniture
Don’t believe the pictures or hours publicized on Google. The door is unlocked, however, they will turn you away when you try to visit during their posted hours.
Did the jack o lantern walk with my husband and our 13 month old daughter and it was amazing!!! Totally recommend!!! 10 outta 10 would totally do it again!
This was so nice. We went to the WW2 restoration and it was great! It was hot and I wish they had more places to get water, but other than that it was real well done!
I wish they had more events here so we could enjoy it more often!
Its really fun and interesting. Full of history and places to visit. You can watch reenactments of life from past times. I personally live the cooking demonstrations! There are very many events, such as Christmas events, dances, and the Long Island Fair is held there. Its a great place.
Cute restored village with real artifacts, staff/ acting dressed like 18th century characters, farm with animals. very personal, perfect size for walking, kid friendly - not sure how much theyd learn, but my 3yo liked the animals)))
Went to the outdoor night time Great Pumpkin Blaze. Lots of fun, great art on the pumkins and jack o lanterns. Nice 40min walk to see what they set up and it was a great Fall night out.
A very fun experience, everything was so beautifully done. Had a great time looking at the very nicely crafted Jack o lanterns.
Good place to feel close to nature have a lot to see and specially this Fair that they have lot of activites to see and get involved and food and drinksThe security is NASSAU POLICE so you are well protected
Amazing experience!!!
Very well put together. A great experience. Very talented work! Good for the whole family. They made sure we were 10 feet apart from other parties who also attended. I highly recommend going!
Very educational and a nice afternoon outside. You get to see how people in the area lived during the early colonial times. Also get a good sense of the early economy as several of the buildings also demonstrate how the owners earned a living. Great for anyone interested in early American architecture/building methods or history in general.
Great place to bring the family and learn about what life was like in the mid 19th century. Various events take place throughout the year with a little something for everyone.
Great place to learn something new about Lond Island community and beautiful to walk and rest
Place was nice and organized ver well. I feel that it needs more path to go to. Kids had fun!
Fun for the whole family. The lights are beautiful. Everything is put together so well. My family and I had fun.
I loved it. My daughter had a nice time watching the old timers baseball game with her daddy. Its nice when there isnt a major event going on because its not as crowded so dont think you have to wait until one happens. Its a nice day out.
Very interesting. Homes from all over long island that were moved there in their original state as they were in the 1800s. People in each structure dressed in their era clothes, and explain about the family and how they lived. Definitely a must see place!!
Great place to spend time with the family and relax
Really neat spot for field trips very insightful
Such a blast, I highly recommend making a visit here. Great for all ages.
You get transported back in time and see how people used to live in authentic 1800s houses from around Long Island. They were transported there among other places such as barns and stores. My family enjoyed the fiddler in the schoolhouse and watching the sheep and goats on the farm. Definitely plan to spend at least 2 hours there because it takes a while to walk through the whole thing and stop to listen to all the interesting employees who tell you the whole story of that house.
My all time favorite place!! From the sights to the smells and everything in between. You really do step back in time. They have amazing staff who really get into character and they offer sooo many fun events. Their annual fall festival and Halloween nights are a blast!!
Run to pumpkin blaze! Its takes about 30 minutes to walk through,wear good sneakers. Great for families! Not scary so okay for small kids
Such a cool place. Old ww2 tanks, cars, memoribilia etc. The guide who took us around really knew his stuff. The admission is free, but make sure to donate to the veterans fund on the way out as these brave men and women are the reason we are free today. Cool picture ops as well!
When I was younger at the age of 6 until I was 32 years old I used to love to go to the old village with my family and my school. Sadly since I moved to North Carolina in 2007, Ive missed it even more so. I hope to one day return to see it again?
Really nice park. I went for the Armor show to see the tanks but i walked the property to see the houses as well. Great learning experience for children and adults and just a nice place to spend an afternoon. I always remember the soda at the bar because ive loved the birch beer since i was a kid.
Ive been here for a field trip and it was nice. They offer you root beer in one of the buildings. One of them have root beer candy. When I came during the fall, it was suppose to be open. But, its close and it has caution tape on the doors. Next time, they should say its closed or open.
Dont go here.Id went today on the trip at OBVR and it was horrible. Id also accidentally had my leg cramp during my trip. The houses smelled like smoke in my country, the fairgrounds smelled like farm animal dookie, and worst of all, dirty sheep and painful cows. I would never coming back here again. There are better Long Island museums to choose from, but Cradle of Aviation was 10x better.
My parents took me here as a teenager once. Its interesting at first, but it gets boring when you go with old people who want to hang around at every exhibit for a long time. Life in the 1800s was very boring and depressing compared to life in the 21st century.
I came here for the haunted house. The village itself is absolutely stunning and the history behind it is amazing. Being there at night time gave it a very spooky vibe. The acting was great, but it was not scary. I was disappointed that they were on skits and not walk threws. The skits were creepy at best just not what I was expecting.
The was a fun place. Today they had a WW2 reenactment that was amazing. The sounds and smoke of gunfire was pretty realistic.We walked around the village checking out all the old houses and way of life from the 1800s.
Its a surprisingly cool, useful, informative historical place in the middle of suburbia. It seemed a bit barren when I went on an off-peak day with bad weather, but the staff were still friendly and welcoming nonetheless. Worth a visit, especially if you have little kids with you.
Very hard to get in and out of, all the gates are locked for a vintage baseball tournament. 10 teams from all over the country had to struggle to get their gear inside the property.
The Museum of Armor display was good. There was no water though. The regular displays were closed.
This place is amazing. Our family had so much fun. Being able to see tanks move was awesome
It feels like going back in time.
I encourage any and everyone to visit, especially if you have little ones! I came here with my 4th grade class about 9 years ago and I was very fascinated and enthused about everything I seen. Its interesting how they conserved this very vast portion of land for future generations to see how people lived back in the 19th and early to mid- 20th centuries. Some things have been slightly modified due to deterioration, but most structures are original. The scenery is great, and youll have an instructor at every site (dressed very old fashion) expound upon what that location was used for. I hope you enjoy, and tell them I sent you!-Jeremiah❤
Such a relaxing yet fun place to visitIts great for all ages.
Pumpkin blaze was awesome
Came here for “I Love Chocolate Fest”. The mix between shops inside buildings and outside was nice. The first building you come to was WAY crowded. Methods of payment varied by each individual shop. Tons of food and unique shops! $15 day of entrance fee.
The staff of actors were great. My kids made pottery, yard dolls and more. Recommend for a picnic and around the holidays for the evening Christmas walks
Its not my sort of time but if you love colonial restorations, its probably great. The actors are fun and stay in character. Interesting for kids and some adults.
Great place excellent for history lovers and to introduce kids to the past staff is excellent and takes their role seriously
A wonderful history lesson for children. There is no substitute for seeing rooms by only candle light. Watching a broom being made by hand really time stamps the technology of 150 years ago.
Great time, always
The December Candlelight Evenings are one of my favorite holiday activities - singing, dancing, reading, bonfires, horns, strings, popcorn, cocoa, candlelit walks down acres of quiet, unpaved roads. Santas here too, the actual one. Theres no place like this on LI, especially for families - peaceful, inexpensive and authentic, free of cars and phones and ads and excess. Learn something from the dedicated and knowledgeable volunteers that run it.
Beautiful grounds to walk! nice place to spend a day and learn some history!
Went there for Blaze. Awesome displays and the grounds and lighting are fantastic. Unfortunately not as good without concessions and too preoccupied worrying about covid
I absolutely love it. Its so unique
A lot of space to walk and run around. Took my 3 year old and we had a good time exploring. It was pretty quiet on the Saturday I went.
Living history.I was in there for an event commemorating the American revolution when Long island was occupied by the British.I was part of the Huntington militia and the 3rd New York regiment, which were portraying the American forces which raided Long Island several times during the British occupation. 1776-178?
The Great Jack olantern Blaze was disappointing, not as good as the Great Jack olantern Blaze in Westchester.
A nice Long Island gem! Great place to spend the day with or without the kids. My only little peeve is the walk from the parking lot to the attractions.
Had great time here.. visited on July 4, had a great picnic time... nice historic homes. watch out for the weather - too sunny, rainy could be inconvenience and as well be ready to walk!!!
We popped in for a quick visit - as we were near by for a festival. So much history! Open spaces to enjoy picture taking and to take in everything. Looking forward to a future visit!
Although the authentic building are a fascinating look into how different lives were not long ago, its the people who bring them to life. Everything from black smithing to baseball, from general stores to millinery (hat makers).Also, events like The Long Island Fair are held there, and 2018 was the 176th year. Thousands of judged/prize winning crafts shown from baked goods, sewn work, paintings, photography etc.Do not miss their Holiday guided candle light tour as it is truly wonderful.
Very interesting place loads of history to learn about. Holidays are fun at night
Very nice a little short stroll for 50 bucks but nice to clear the mind
The Blaze Display was Amazing! We loved it! It was Well Monitored and Safe. They did a Wonderful Job!
Lovely venue, professional and friendly staff, valet parking on site...even the bathroom was decorated and fully stocked with toiletries. An enjoyable experience and a fun time was had by all!
My grandmother was born upstairs in the Noon Inn in 1891. The structure was deconstructed and moved 5 miles to the village in the mid-1970s, from East Meadow. ...Great memories visiting there with my grandmother back then.
Very disappointing! They spoiled my sons wedding plans.They told him they would reserve the date and then some deep pocketed Mangano supporter allowed a caterer to steal the date right from under him.Politics at their worst.I have been an Old Bethpage resident for all my life only to see the powerful and rich take advantage time and time again.I say sell the land and build something else there.Now we have to quickly find alternative plans.No one at the restoration village will even look into the matter.This is just horrible!!
Beautiful please shows the old west like you’re on a Hollywood movie screen the people dressed in character intrigued to buy stuff when you’re there instead of money they give you tokens of Seawood and you treat that for candy while you’re in the park absolutely beautiful Gosey.Anthony from New York
Went with a slew of kids, they all oohed and ahhed. Nice time! 👍👍
A summer visit and we just went for Halloween. Love it
Beautiful. I went to the gem and mineral show and witnessed an amazing psychic reading beautiful hand-made tarot cards for random people.
Took my daughters and 2 of their friends. Really nice place. Great interaction with the actors that were there. Definitely worth going to.
Went to look at the barn for a wedding venue. Beautiful place but bare bones. Very pricey to me. A town owned venue should be affordable for all in my opinion
Wow wow so glad this place exists and love the knowledgeable people. They’re shooting a TV show on the property now and everybody should check it out when it opens up again check out everything on the right side of the property first
Nice set up for Christmas to see how people used to live and celebrate the holiday. Bonfires, music, singing, etc. Dress warm!! Want to go back in the summer.
Although it was raining, we were able to have great conversations with the guides who were very knowledgeable about the buildings and the people who had lived there. What a treasure!
It is very nice to see what it was like back in the day. Everyone wore what appeared to be the correct clothing, and were very helpful.Neat old buildings, and it wasnt that expensive. Im happy we came.
Went to see Blaze. Awesome show Well worth the time and money
Went to the Blaze , we have gone to another some place else. This was nicer much more room , easy walk loop and easier parking.
I went here on a school trip when I was younger. Nostalgia got the better of me and I had to revisit as an adult. This is a great place to bring your family. We learned about how people used to live before the internet and smartphones.
Came here for the Blaze and it was stunning. It actually got kind of creepy because it was kind of quiet and the sound of the wind added to the spooky atmosphere
Although the schedule of events posted on the OBVR website 7/16/17 listed the Long Island Riders starting at 11 am the OBVR did not open until noon. Numerous families were turned away with no indication that the staff had any qualms about the mistake other than a hastily printed notice on the door that the OBRV opened at noon.
The Barn is just the right size for the Long Island Comic Book Expo. Good location for this event. A big thank you goes out to the LICBE Staff.
You can only come if you have New York State ID, at least during Covid times. Nothing really to eat so come well fed.
Two trips are a must, once Spring - Fall and the second in December for Candlelight week, the Museum of American Armor is next door also a worthwhile visit.
Always a great place to walk around and unwind a bit. The fresh air, open space and time period buildings really help to calm the mind at times.
A very fun place to take the family. Much history and things to do and see.
Been a favorite since I was a child. The festivals/fairs are so fun! Also nice to go on a quiet day and just enjoy the village.
Blaze pumpkin tour very nicely done but was disappointing that 98% of the pumpkins are carved on vinyl pumpkins and not real
Went to see the Christmas displays. It was a great experience for the family. Just maybe bring a flashlight to see better.
This place is awesome! I went here with a camp and found out a lot about the history of Long Island. I also was here for a tough mudder event and had a great time!
Long Island Fair - wonderful exhibits, lots of fun for kids
Fun place
Special place to remember and learn about history, plus the wonderful nature.
A bit of hisory all in one place. Love the original old homes that were saved from destruction. And the new Armory that has recently been finished.
Went to the Pumpkin Blaze. It was nice. Fantastic job on the pumpkins...but in my opinion overpriced
Loved it! My first time here....great place to enjoy with the family. Apple cider, storytelling and much more..,,
One of my favorite parts of long island. People are stellar. My 9 year old did a week long apprenticeship program and loved it.
It was fun exploring the different buildings and walking the paths. We watched the baseball game and learned how hats were made. We will be going back. 😇
Fun place to take the kids to. Glad we went! During memorial day.
Just completed a tough mudder in old bethpage and although it was exhausting, it was definitely tons of fun and will have to do it again soon!
Armor Parade on July 4th is a great way to start the day!
We went for The Jack-o-lantern Blaze. Beautiful grounds. Very impressive.
Was a great event the pumpkin blaze! 🎃
Nice experience. However, there is inadequate amount of seating in general and improper seating distance to safely & sufficiently accommodate elderly patrons.
It was a great place to walk around for the chocolate festival besides stepping in large mud puddles from the vehicles
They have Base Ball games every Sunday at noon playing the same rules used in 1864! Players dont use gloves😲
Beautiful grounds but the fair I went to was a big disappointment. The food was overpriced and the lines were to long.
A little pricey but, a cool place to visit
The location is a bit confusing. Google maps may not get you to the main location. Use Waze instead.
We went for the carved pumpkin light walking tour and it was great
The blaze exhibition is really incredible great for children and adults
Very nice history lessons. We went on a quiet day. (No school kids)
Went to blaze lights. Pretty big spot and people maintained social distancing rules.
I love their events. I also love that they filmed Dickinson here.
So beautiful! A lot of great history!!
I went here for my 2nd grade field trip it was very fun me and all of my friends really enjoyed it
A great Fall experience, remember to wear flats and glow in the dark apparel.
Very nice place went to the armory there for the rolling thunder motorcycle run to raise money for the veterans PTSD 3rd annual awareness run.
Its great.you should go there some time
Beautiful. We were in awe. Great family trip.
Awesome place to take the kids. The WWII re-enactment is amazing.
They do a WW2 reenactment once a year for a weekend... its great
I love this place. I enjoy all the various events they hold here too.
A good place to bring your kids for American history, however food options are limited.
Great way to get fresh air, learn a little history, and find a fresh perspective.
Nice
Took my girlfriend here for a half track ride, open from 10-4. Drove an hour to get there by 2 and they stopped early.
Awesome place to visit and revisit. Check the website for different events throughout the year.
Very friendly people. Explain historical things well.
The level of detail and organization that went into this is amazing. Definitely recommend.
Amazing! So beautiful! Employees are so nice!
Cool place, awesome history! Everyone had such amazing historical knowledge!
Went for a gourmet food festival. During the nice weather the grounds are beautiful
Im looking around is cool! I was visit Old Bethpage Village Restoration when i was 1 grade for trip school.
Blaze pumpkins
We were there for the Woodstock Revival... We were vendors there.. Was an amazing day!!
Its genuine history
Wonderful. A relaxing walk in the country.
Very interesting, World War ll live exhibit of tanks, American & foreign.Also German guns , etc.
Absolutely beautiful 💝 Thank you for doing such a great job ❣
Love this place. I volunteer at every opportunity.
Halloween Blaze was great and not so scary for the littles.
Great history lesson and the staff is wonderful.
Awesome time Everyone should go and enjoy the Christmas season
Great place for a family day out
Step into M.Night Shyamalans village for a nice look at long islands historical homes

2021-09-11I have been going there for many years, enjoying the many activities there. The sheepsheering, and arts and crafts, and winter barn dances.❤🤠😍 It has been a few years but I finally made it to their Long Island fair, I went w friends and my favorite part was all the animals. I grew up around dogs, cats and chickens.But my favorite 4 legged friend has always been the horse!❤🤠😃There was the usual food staple, chicken, hot dogs and hamburgers w drinks. But there was a variety of horse shows and a good show and music from the past. I look forward to next year❤😍

2021-11-14I went to Old Bethpage Restoration for The Great Jack-o-lantern Blaze. All of the pumpkin displays were very well done. Definitely somewhere to visit during Halloween season

2021-09-28The village is absolutely delightful! Incredibly scenic! It really immerses you in the time and the history of the area to be in a place like this in a way that isn’t possible at a normal museum! All of the historically clad historians and workers at each location in the village were delightful and were willing to answer my many MANY historical questions. They talked extensively about the different places and made the interactions not just informative but an actual pleasure! I also very much liked being able to meet all the farm animals, whom I was told are official ‘county employees’, and the hat shop, which has some truly spectacular and incredibly well made hats! They are sturdy but still fashionable looking in a timeless way that you can still wear for current fashion!

2021-10-09Came here for the Great Jack OLantern Blaze and were very impressed!!The event itself, magnificent, of course. True artsmanship!!! But the staff here have this down like a well oiled machine. From parking to merchandise and everyone on the paths - AWESOME!!The paths are easy and accessible for strollers and wheelchairs - paths are not paved, so bear in mind that means dips and grooves in the ground as you walk, wheel or stroll. It is incredibly helpful that tripods are not allowed, so the flow is nice and smooth.

2020-10-21Beautiful. Went to the pumpkin fest called Crave, very creative in their pumpkin carving displays. The imagination was refreshing. The grounds at Bethpage Restoration is always serene and welcoming. Great place to go when theres nothing else to. Must order tixs online only.

2022-04-22After not being at the Village restoration since I was a kid I was very excited to experience the park once more with the kids I babysit, upon arrival we had park passes from the Massapequa Public library that their mom downloaded. Because their mom wasn’t there with the license, they would not let us in to the park, (even if I had a photo of her license). The workers was extremely nasty and unwelcoming. The blonde manager was ESPECIALLY rude to the mother on the phone, and disappointed two kids that were super excited to go into the park. This is a silly rule and they should’ve been accommodating. I’m incredibly disappointed and will not be returning.
