Adventureland is an amusement park in East Farmingdale, New York, located on Route 110 (Broad Hollow Road).

Adventureland has been operating since 1962 and is a popular attraction for children, schools, and day camps on Long Island.

Adventureland is open seasonally: weekends in March, April, May, September and October and all days in June, July, and August.

In 1960, Alvin Cohen and Herbert Bundin[1] purchased six acres of land on Route 110 in East Farmingdale using money loaned from family members.

At the time, it had the Adventurers Inn restaurant,[2][3] an indoor arcade, four rides (a carousel, Iron Horse train, Little Dipper coaster, and boats), and a mini golf course.

The next season brought on the Wave Swinger, a European-style spinning swings ride, one of the first of the kind in America.

[8] On September 15, 1977, William Miller, a German-born businessman who owned a company that imported European rides, purchased the park.

The Lost Continent was turned into 1313 Cemetery Way, a haunted house ride with a talking tree and owl.

[9] In 1987, Miller sold the park to Anthony Gentile, his brother Johnny, Peter Amoruso, and Dominic Cosola, a group that had operated the restaurant since 1977.

In this new era, Gentile added a Pirate Ship ride, the Scorpion, and a new mini golf course named Treasure Island.

[23] In 2001, it was renamed the Lady Bug Coaster[24] and Kiddie Land was created with rides for small children: the Caterpillar, Free Whale, and Hip Hop.

[26] The next year, Viking Voyage replaced the Kiddie Boats, the park's last original ride, and Tour de Paris was added.

[27] In 2006, Adventureland began its green initiative by converting the park's roadside sign to use 9,000 LED bulbs.

[28] A kiddie log flume, called Little Dipper, was added where the Top Scan used to be and the Frisbee replaced Surf Dance.

A private VIP room was added, and the food court and gift shop were expanded.

Also in 2013, a stage was built across from the Bavarian Village Gift Shop and a charging station was installed next to City Hall.

On select night's throughout October, Adventureland was host to an exclusive fundraising event, called Nightmare on the Midway.

[35] The Gentile family established the Helping Hands Foundation in 2014 to raise money for local causes.

[39] A new helicopter ride for kids, tokenless arcade games, and a City Hall for park services were added in 2017.

[40] A new thrill ride called Mystery Mansion replaced the Ghost House and the Drop N' Twist in 2018.

[45] It was announced that the Adventure Cove section of the park would be demolished in favor of the Legacy Corner.

In 2007, a 6-year-old boy lost his balance on the Super Raider attraction and fell over, jamming his right hand between a wall and the walkway.
