Empire Adventure Park opens at Samanea New York in Westbury

Empire Adventure Park, a new active entertainment venue, celebrated its grand opening last week at the Samanea New York mall in Westbury.

Elected officials and business leaders joined Matthew Mullen, owner of Empire Adventure Park and Dominic Coluccio, head of Real Estate for Samanea New York, to cut the ceremonial grand opening ribbon.

Empire Adventure Park combines fitness and entertainment to create the ultimate fun experience for guests of all ages and abilities. With more than 35,000 square feet of event space, Empire Adventure Park features 17 attractions including: ninja Courses, trampolines, climbing walls, laser tag, virtual reality arenas, augmented reality games, glide rail ziplining, an indoor playground for the younger jumpers and many more. Trained staff supervise the play areas to ensure safe active entertainment.

“Empire Adventure Park has been many years in the making, and I am proud to officially be open for business. I would like to thank everyone who helped make it a reality as well as those who joined us to celebrate,” Mullen said in a written statement. “As a lifelong Long Islander and entrepreneur, I had big dreams of what Empire Adventure Park would look like and offer to the community. Finding a space big enough to accommodate what I had in mind was no easy task, but I was driving by Samanea one day and knew it was the perfect location. As the newest entertainment destination on Long Island, drawing visitors for a unique and exciting time out, Samanea has already proven to be the perfect home for Empire. We invite everyone to come and join us for some fun.”

Parents can relax in the Empire Cafe with free Wi-Fi, comfortable seating, and a variety of food and drink options. Adult guests can also enjoy a new, revolutionary self-service bar. Staff will check a guest’s ID, then provide a RFID card that can be used to purchase a beverage using the eight tap self-pour “bar” technology offering four beers, two wines, and two cocktails.

Guests are encouraged to book online here, and to fill out the waiver before their arrival.
