BING Things to Do This Summer

With pandemic restrictions slowly lifting, many BING businesses are planning to reopen in some capacity this summer. This is just a sampling of some of the social distancing-friendly attractions.

We’ll start with the world-famous Animal Adventure Park (opens in a new tab) in Harpursville, which recently converted to a drive-thru format to accommodate COVID-19 restrictions.
