ActiveKidz, Jericho

It's a well-known truth that kids have excess energy and often lack a non-mischievous way to use it. Enter the game masters at Active Kidz - Long Island. Their activity center is packed with enticing opportunities for physical, imaginative play. In just one trip, kids can navigate the pipes and chutes of the adventure maze, clamber up an indoor rock wall, and show off tactical prowess during rounds of laser tag. There's also an arcade and virtual-game center, options which make the center a popular spot for both drop-in visits and birthday parties. A note for adults: Active Kidz hosts a fully stocked snack bar, where grownups can seek a breather from the neon-colored fun.
