Visit Near Baseball Heaven Long Island

By Mike Woods


When visiting Baseball Heaven Long Island, kids bring their dreams. That is the point of their time here: to learn about baseball or softball and how the professionals play. The Ronkonkoma Holiday Inn is close to the Yaphank stadium, making it an ideal spot to stay when attending baseball heaven. Bring the family too: there is so much to do on Long Island that an extended stay may be in order after a tournament or camp is over.

Kids at this facility learn to play like real professionals. They get a sense of what a stadium would be like, with low dug-outs, score boards and artificial turf. Such a wonderful establishment relies on sponsorship of which there is lots, and Holiday Inn counts itself among their number. When you plan to spend an afternoon as spectator, remember that food is served including all-day breakfast and burgers. One can also bring a picnic, but if you forget, meals are covered.

Part of how kids meet their goals here is by watching pro players. They sometimes arrive at this facility to play in tournaments spring to autumn. It is not uncommon for kids to meet star fielders during their time at the facility. They also register for camps of several days at a time held during the summer for baseball or softball. Their website lists a calendar of events plus more about amenities and regulations.

MacArthur Airport is closest for in-coming teams or out-of-state visitors, but JFK and La Guardia are within an hour as is New York City. Fly in from out of state as an individual or bring the whole team. Camps are held for a few days at a time and focus on baseball or softball. Their website is full of information and worth a visit.

Over one hundred and fifty rooms and suites are available for guests. Your room could be next door to that of a famous pitcher, or a short stop could be swimming laps next to you in the pool. Send sweaty gear out with valet dry cleaning and catch quick snacks from vending machines on-site.

To stay fit for camp or to emulate the energy of your kids, try out the fitness room. One is situated here, or go to World Gym. The hotel will provide two passes.

Ask about the Holiday Inn airport shuttle. This is a handy way to get to your accommodation, then return to catch a flight home later. If you had a good time, check out hotel packages for another time and come golfing or enjoy a family adventure.
