With so much to do in New York, it's no wonder that many people feel "lost." Today, I will give you three ideas-one for fun, one for culture and one for relaxing. Make your New York vacation the best by planning out everything ahead of time.

Splish Splash Water Park

The Splish Splash Water Park is a fun time. It's located in Riverhead (Long Island), New York in a 96-acre park like environment, nestled in the woods, which provides a lot of shades, and a lovely landscape.

The Travel Channel voted it as one of the best water parks. Splish Splash offers 25 thrilling water slide rides, some of them very tall and steep. It's a fun time for the whole family.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Metropolitan Museum of art is an absolutely must-see attraction when you're visiting New York City. It's part of the famous Museum Mile. The amazing display of over two million works of art is quite the experience-from photography and European paintings and sculptures to the armors of the Middle Ages to Greek, Roman and Egyptian exhibits.

Admission is by donation. The Metropolitan Museum does have a "recommended" donation, but in the end, it's your call.

Peconic Wines

When it's time to relax and sample fine wines, Peconic is a good place to venture to. There are some great wineries there. One winery to visit is the Raphael Winery, which is located on Main Road down Route 25.

This Mediterranean-style winery offers guided tours and wine tasting daily. However, I'd advise against just showing up. Make a reservation. The tour is $12 and takes about one hour. This is a solid winery. They were featured in The Wine Spectator Magazine and other top-level publications, such as the New York Times.
