Long Island Game Farm
The Long Island Game Farm, situated at 489 Chapman Boulevard in Manorville, New York, was established in 1970 by Stanley and Diane Novak. Buffalo, camels, chimpanzees, deer, goats, lambs, and exotic birds were the earliest residents of the zoo, which also included various education areas and entertainment. Stanley Novak, his wife Diane and daughters Melinda and Susan built the zoo on 29 acres (12 ha). After Stanley’s passing in 1999, his daughter, Melinda, soon took the helm and shifted the focus of the park exclusively toward animals, nature, and education. Nearing 55 years as Long Island’s premier education and attraction center for wildlife, the zoo is evolving further to include a new nonprofit arm, The Foundation for Wildlife Sustainability, Inc., in late summer 2023. Today the Game Farm is home to more than 200 animals. For many people, visiting the game farm is a yearly tradition. The Long Island Game Farm is one of the oldest and most well-known establishments in Manorville, and has been one of the town's major landmarks since its opening. 2021 marked its 52nd season as the largest combined children's zoo and wildlife park on Long Island. 2021: New Rescued Tortoise Exhibit Sponsored by Symbiotic Landscaping and Property Management of Center Moriches. 2021: Welcome Mason our toddler Albino Wallaby who will join our brother and sister wallabies this spring. 2021 - Mid May Arrival: Welcome our new year old Giraffe! 2021: Gift Shop Sponsored by East Bay Builders Inc. of Center Moriches. 2021: Comfort Station Shed Sponsored by NY Shed Inc. of Mattituck.
