Nassau County Day Trip Pick: Museum of American Armor (Old Bethpage)

Museum of American Armor in Old Bethpage is an indoor, high-impact stop with an up close collection of military vehicles and artifacts that lands even if you are not a ā€œmilitary museumā€ person. It works as a quick reset visit or a longer, slower lap, and it is especially good for older kids and teens. Pair it with Old Bethpage Village for a full history day. Check hours before you go since they can be specific.
