Yes, it's called the Holtsville Ecology Site. I've heard great things about it. I used to leave near there, but haven't seen it since they re-vamped it. My limo company recommended we go there for pictures in case it rains! Good luck!

Hmmm....what about a local museum? That could be cool! However the only museum that comes to mind in Suffolk is the whaling museum....I am thinking!!
