About
Empire Adventure Park in Westbury is Long Island's answer to the all-in-one family entertainment center — go-karts, laser tag, mini bowling, arcade games, and a multi-level indoor playground in a single large facility. The 4.7-star rating across 800+ reviews reflects consistent delivery on this breadth of offerings.
For families making a day trip from NYC or living in Nassau County, Empire offers the kind of activity variety that justifies the trip — instead of doing one thing and being done in 90 minutes, kids cycle through multiple attractions across 2-3 hours. The go-kart track is the perennial favorite for older kids (typically must meet height requirements around 54 inches to drive solo), while the indoor playground and laser tag serve the 4-10 crowd effectively.
The Miracle Mile shopping area location in Westbury is practical for families who want to combine the visit with shopping or additional dining options. The LIRR Westbury station is accessible for families coming from the city or Queens without a car.
Weekday hours start at 3PM (not a morning option Monday-Friday), but Saturday and Sunday run from 10AM — better for families who prefer morning activity timing.
