6/10/15 - By Jaime Sumersille

The little (and big!) comic and sci-fi fans in your house won't want to miss the Long Island Comic Con in Garden City this weekend. For the aspiring engineers in your life, take a train ride through the woods of Brookhaven with Long Island Live Steamers. Families can also celebrate our 50 stars and stripes at Port Jefferson's Maritime Explorium by decorating flags. Also great for creative kids: the first annual Long Island Maker Festival on Sunday.
