Summer Is Coming and So Is Our Hamptons and North Fork Summer Fun Guide
Though the weather hasn’t exactly been cooperating, it’s finally Memorial Day weekend and the beginning of warm-weather fun. That’s when things really gear up for us at Mommy Poppins, and we love sharing all the festivals, beach days, day trips, outdoor events, water fun and good times with you. You’ll soon see our Summer Guides filled with loads of ideas to keep you and your brood busy all season long.
The first marker of our summer content is the launch of our second annual Hamptons and North Fork Guide. We’ll be updating it weekly with the best things to do on the East End of Long Island. If you aren’t subscribed to the Hamptons and North Fork newsletter, you can sign up here to get weekly updates, weekend picks and activity suggestions sent straight to your inbox.
OUR LATEST VIDEOS
In our Hamptons and North Fork Guide you’ll find the best boat trips, kid-friendly museums, mini-golf, playgrounds, family-friendly restaurants, camps, surf schools, and even wineries and rainy day activities on Long Island’s East End. Plus, each week we’ll share the best weekend activities and more fun places to visit. Whether you are an East End regular or want to plan a day trip or weekend getaway, you’ll find everything you need to know for many a fun-filled day.
I’d like to thank our sponsors who make it possible for us to add this additional content:
Kate Tempesta's Urban Golf Academy, the Ross School, the Hampton Country Day Camp, CitiBabes-to-Go, the Long Island Aquarium, Barbara Feldman Interior Design and the Sandy Hollow Day Camp.
About the Author
Founder of Mommy Poppins
A fourth-generation Brooklynite, Anna started Mommy Poppins in 2007 to help families find the best things to do with kids in NYC, with a particular emphasis on sharing activities that are free, affordable, and enriching. The site, used by millions of families, has grown to become the ultimate resource for parents in the major US cities, plus travel guides for 100s of destinations.
Anna is a believer in the magic of summer camps, traveling with kids, and that you can raise kids on a budget and still have a rich life full of amazing memories. Anna's first Mommy Poppins book, The Young Traveler's Journal and Activity Book, published in 2025 and co-written with her daughter, Amelia Eigerman, brings that ethos to life, in addition to this website.
