Hicksville, New York may be small, but there's so much to do in our little hamlet you'll never get bored. Located on Long Island in southeast New York, Hicksville started off as just a stop on the Long Island Rail Road in 1834, established by Valentine Hicks. Hicksville was a farming town in its first century, growing cucumbers and then potatoes, but it grew exponentially after World War II thanks to industrialization. 

Nowadays, Hicksville is not just a great place to live and work, but also a great place to visit. Its proximity to Long Island and New York City means you have easy access to some of the most culturally diverse places in America, and that's beside all the fun things to do right in town. 

One of the most family-friendly stops in Hicksville is the Long Island Puppet Theater, which puts on incredibly elaborate puppet shows as well as hosts children's birthday parties, so it's an extra special spot for families who live in the area. 

Kids will also enjoy Cantiague Park, a multipurpose recreational park with a pool and water slide, playground, golf course, indoor ice rink, and more. 

For history and science fans, the Hicksville Gregory Museum will be your first stop. It focuses on local history, natural history, and earth science, with geological exhibits and historical artifacts on display. 

Hicksville has an exciting array of restaurant options as well. Whether you're looking for Indian food, which you can find at New Chili & Curry Restaurant, good old American food like Empire Diner serves, or anything in between, we have it.  Next time you're in Long Island, keep Hicksville on your list of places to visit.
