Outdoor Adventures

Nature at Night
Discover that wandering in the woods in the dark doesn’t have to be scary at a special program at Theodore Roosevelt Sanctuary and Audubon Center. All ages are invited to have an up-close encounter with some nighttime creatures, learn how to use all of your senses, and search the sanctuary for signs of animals that use the cover of darkness to hunt for prey or hide from predators. The evening includes a sing-along and marshmallow roast around the campfire.
Saturday, Aug. 20, 7:30-9 p.m. Registration required. $7. Theodore Roosevelt Sanctuary and Audubon Center, 134 Cove Rd., Oyster Bay. (516) 922-3200 or

With songs from the many Rodgers and Hammerstein hits – including Oklahoma, Carousel, The King and I, South Pacific, and The Sound Of Music – this tune-filled evening brings Broadway magic to Bellmore.

Family Fun

Key Wilde and Mr. Clarke
The duo visits Long Island Children’s Museum with an energetic, rhythmic show that all ages will enjoy. They create a zany musical world where pigs grow as big as tractor trailers, little dogs think they are bullfrogs and people can go to the moon in a red balloon. With original, interactive songs ranging in style from bluegrass to ‘80s punk rock, the pair will have everyone up and dancing.
Sunday and Monday, Aug. 21-22, 2 p.m. $4 with museum admission, $8 theater only. Long Island Children’s Museum, Museum Row, Garden City.
