Rye Playland with or without kids!
Playland

center. Featuring more than 50 rides and attractions for children
and adults, Playland also offers free entertainment and has
a beach, pool, boardwalk and pier on scenic Long Island Sound,
lake boating, picnic area, mini golf and indoor ice-skating.
Playland has the distinction of being America's first
totally planned amusement park and prototype for today's successful
theme parks. Dedicated as a National Historic Landmark in 1987,
Playland has provided family fun since 1928. Often referred
to as "Rye Playland", it is America's only government
owned and operated amusement park.

entertainment at the bandstand and fireworks displays. There
are also big name concerts and dances on the boardwalk. For
