Greater Huntington coverage is funded in part by The Farm Italy, a striking neighborhood restaurant and cocktail bar bringing the simplicity, beauty and seasonal freshness of Italian dining to Huntington.
First Look
The former Rite Aid on Larkfield Road is trading pharmacy aisles for slides, swings and a miniature supermarket.
Nana’s Wonderland is preparing to open its largest indoor playground yet at 577 Larkfield Road in East Northport, with a grand opening set for Nov. 28. Greater Long Island got a first look inside the new space, which will welcome children up to age 12.
That’s a change from the business’s other locations, which generally cater to children under 8.
“It has a little bit of something for everyone,” owner Terra Jiang told Greater Long Island. “Even the older kids that come here have a blast.”
A look inside
The playground features about six slides, a trampoline, swings and a soft-play area for younger children, along with themed sections where kids can play at construction, go camping or shop in a miniature supermarket.
There’s also a reading nook, a mirror maze and interactive games on the second floor.
For families taking a break from the action, a café will serve drinks and grab-and-go food, including prepackaged wraps and sandwiches supplied by a local deli.
Jiang also included a dedicated nursing room with a changing table, a feature inspired by her own experience as a mother.
Beyond open play, the new location will host birthday parties.
A longer road to opening
Jiang signed the lease in July 2025 and began paying rent that November, but getting the playground ready took longer than she anticipated.
Obtaining the permits needed to begin construction took about nine months, she said. The build-out itself took roughly three months.
The East Northport opening marks another expansion for a business Jiang launched in Little Neck, Queens, in 2022, driven by her desire to create a welcoming place for families.
She now operates locations in Little Neck, Centereach and Massapequa Park, with East Northport becoming her fourth. A Kew Gardens location is planned for next year, and Nana’s Wonderland also has a franchise location in Long Island City.
Planning a visit
Nana’s Wonderland offers one-hour and two-hour play sessions, along with monthly and annual memberships that can be used at the locations Jiang owns.
In East Northport, the expanded age range gives older siblings a chance to join the fun.
“It’s a great space not just for the little ones,” Jiang said. “But if you have a mixed age group, this is perfect.”
