Unplug, Explore and Reconnect With the Whole Family in NY’s Sullivan Catskills

Craving a summer escape bursting with adventure, fun, and unforgettable family moments? Pack up your swimsuits, sandals, sneakers, and sunscreen—New York’s Sullivan Catskills is calling!

Located just a short 90-mile drive from New York City, the Sullivan Catskills is a legendary vacation destination that has always been a hit with families.

The Kartrite Indoor Resort and Water Park is wet and wild—rain or shine. And it’s 84 degrees all year long. Villa Roma is a popular full-service resort that caters to families. Summer is popular for its pools, water features, Pool Grill, and Raw Bar. The Delaware River and its many liveries along the Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River corridor offer rafting trips, canoes, and kayaks, a perfect way to stay cool on hot summer days. You can also camp along the river bank.

The soft, friendly alpacas at Buck Brook Alpacas are an instant favorite for kids and adults— you’ll love the alpaca walks! You can even bring home some warm, snuggly alpaca wear from the gift shop. Arthur’s Acres Animal Sanctuary is another family favorite. School may be out, but learning continues at Fort Delaware, where everyone can discover what life was like on the frontier back in the day.

The great outdoors here features plenty of family-friendly trails for hiking and biking. Check out TrailKeeper for a list of trails—there are over two dozen—and many are within striking distance of restaurants boasting Catskill-icious goodness—from wood-fired pizza and gelato to celebrity chef steaks—and always with kid-friendly menu items.

Live theater and concerts are a big part of the entertainment scene in the Sullivan Catskills Forestburgh Playhouse features evening and afternoon matinee Main Stage shows and a Performance Academy for kids. Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, at the 1969 Woodstock Music and Arts Fair site, offers outdoor pavilion concerts all summer long. The Museum at Bethel Woods uncovers the story of the ‘60s and the history behind the Woodstock festival. There are also summer programs for kids.
