NWR: where's a good place on long island...

to take my clients who are senior citizens on a day trip? I wanted to take them to Sands Point but it turns out that Falaise Hall and the other places to visit will be really hard for the seniors to walk around.

are there any nice outdoorsy places that are easy to navigate like botanic gardens or beachy places?

thanks!

The Holtsville Ecology Center is really pretty.

Would the Atlantis Marine World Aquarium be too much?

I third that... lol
But the walk around by the bears/pigs might be a little hard and walking the trail. My FH's company does a walk in the park there every year and we help out A LOT.

I'd also try Sweetbriar Nature Center in Smithtown, my co-workers friend is the program director

THere's also White Post farms... it's cute and not too too big.

Or the Planting Fields Arboretum.
