Gateway Playhouse
215 South Country Rd, Bellport
Check out this family friendly blend of theater, dance, and magic this New Year's Eve. Cirque Le Masque is a popular and well known traveling live production company whose productions have been featured all over, from NBC television to Las Vegas. With gymnasts, aerialists, jugglers, bold color, smashing music, and an original story line, the show aims to please young and old audiences alike. If your family can make the 10:30pm show, you can enjoy a New Years Eve party complete with hats and noisemakers while enjoying a simultaneous broadcast of the ball dropping in TImes Square.
Countdown to Twelve
December 31, 12:00-4:30PM
Long Island Children's Museum
11 Davis, Avenue, Garden City
Visit the LICM on New Year's Even for a day long celebration of New Year's Eve. With live music from famed Louis Miranda and his band, you and your kids can check out the museum's latest exhibits and regular favorites, enjoy a party like atmosphere, make New Year's themed crafts, and witness the Museum's own version of the ball drop (which occurs at 4pm). The party is free with Museum admission.
New Year's Eve Party at the Children's Museum of the East End
December 31, 11am
The Children's Museum of the East End

New Years Day Nature Hike and Lighthouse Tour
January 1, 10AM
Fire Island Lighthouse
4640 Captree Island
Head down to Robert Moses State Park and meet up with other nature enthusiast families for a walking tour of the ocean beaches during the winter months. If you're New Year's Resolutions include being a bit greener this year, this is a great way to kick off the New Year-you'll learn about beach erosion and how we can prevent it. You can also get a tour of the famed lighthouse for $6 afterward; the beach hike is free. For more information, click here.
The whole idea of New Year's Eve isn't traditionally a family Holiday. In fact, most kids fall asleep long before the clock strikes 12. Some parents look forward to a grown up night out without the kids. But, if you're like me, the idea of ringing in the New Year together as a family has become a tradition in it's own; well, either that, or you can't find a sitter. Whatever the reason, we've rounded up some great events happening on Long Island this New Years Eve and New Years Day in case banging the pots and pans at midnight and watching football all day isn't enough.
